Who invented "Gore invented the Internet"?

Bob "the Daily Howler" Somerby has made the press' War Against Gore in 1999-2000 his personal hobby horse. He reminds us today who the first person on record was with the phony charge, which quickly became so beloved by the Establishment press, that Gore had claimed he "invented the Internet".

It was Mark Foley.

FEATURED QUOTE

"It is the logic of our times
No subject for immortal verse
That we who lived by honest dreams
Defend the bad against the worse."


-- Cecil Day-Lewis from Where Are The War Poets?
