Default the OSCARS!

Only if you retain that stupid attitude about Gore and the 'Net, which

the way forward.


I can only assume by "disproven", you mean that someone told
you that he didn't say it? You really shouldn't take people's
word for things if you are going to call others stupid.

Fortunately transcripts of all the dumb things people say on
CNN get kept forever and ever.

Lest you accuse me of quoting him out of context, here's the
entire transcript:

And the relevant statements:

BLITZER: Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination
process,
support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a former
colleague in the
Senate? What do you have to bring to this that he doesn't necessarily
bring to
this process?

GO Well, I will be offering -- I'll be offering my vision when my
campaign
begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it
will be
compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be.

But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've
traveled to
every part of this country during the last six years. During my
service in the
United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the
Internet. I took
the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that
have proven
to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental
protection, improvements in our educational system.

Best Wishes,
