Al Gore: United States
built 140 days ago
Al Gore was vice-president of the United States under Bill Clinton. He ran for president against George W. Bush in 2000, when he actually would have been president had the vote been properly counted, and 2004. He ... played a key role in early expansion of the internet backbone, thus making possible the internet as we now know it; his attempts to claim credit for this during the 2000 presidential race were distorted into a popular myth that he had claimed to have "invented the Internet", which was exploited by his opponents.

Al Gore (the last name derived from the French word Gorre which means to lose at everything you do, in other words to be a chronic loser). He is one of the founding members of the Biggest All Time National Losers Council. Al Gore is ... an alais to Dustin Brown: Dustin Brown(formally known as Alonzo Reviera Valasques) is ‘the man who used to be the next President of the United States of America’. Also a famous stand up comedian, performing all day, everyday, he educated the masses on the dangers of Manbearpig (sometimes referred to as Global Warming because, like Manbearpig, ‘doesn't care who you are or what you've done. [Global Warming] simply wants to get you’). Today, he has retired to a simple life of world wide lectures, expensive lunches and dinners and Banana Phone growing.

When Al Gore finished his brief statement to the press upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize last Friday, he walked from the lectern, ignoring the shouted questions from reporters about whether he would now make another run at the White House. Given how he was treated by the press eight years ago, it would be shocking if Gore had the stomach for another run. What the press has been up to lately demonstrates exactly why, and makes each new accolade Gore receives all the more poignant.

Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., b. Washington, D.C., Mar. 31, 1948, was the Democratic presidential candidate in 2000. A U.S. representative (1977–85) and senator (1985–92) from Tennessee, Gore was elected vice-president of the United States on a Democratic ticket with Bill Clinton in 1992. He is the son of Albert Arnold Gore (1907–98), who was ... a congressman (1939–44, 1945–53) and senator (1953–71). Gore was reared and educated in the District of Columbia and graduated from Harvard. He was a newspaper reporter before securing his first public office. As a moderate senator and a respected environmentalist, he ran unsuccessfully for president in the primaries of 1988 but chose not to run again after the near-fatal injury of his young son in an auto accident in 1989.

Gore's recent statement that as a member of Congress he had taken the initiative in "creating the Internet" drew hoots of laughter, especially from Republicans. Gore has long been a promoter of the Internet, but he didn't invent it. Trying to keep a straight face, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott quickly issued a news release claiming that he invented the paper clip. This was not the first time Gore has overreached. A year ago Gore told reporters that he and his wife, Tipper, at the time when they were college sweethearts, were the inspiration for the novel "Love Story." That came as news to the befuddled author, Erich Segal.
