I am sick up and fed of hearing this LIE!
Gore never once claimed to have invented the Internet. The exact quote from his interview with Wolf Blitzer was, “During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.” Meaning that within Congress, he took the most initiative in promoting the technological developments that would become what we know of as the Internet today.

Quote from a site on the subject: “Vinton G. Cerf, a senior vice president at MCI Worldcom and the person most often called &ldquio;the father of the Internet’ for his part in designing the network’s common computer language, said in an e-mail interview yesterday, ‘I think it is very fair to say that the Internet would not be where it is in the United States without the strong support given it and related research areas by the vice president in his current role and in his earlier role as senator.’”
