It's an old story, but still an important one, especially for any of the prospective nominess for the Democratic party in 2004. Bob Somerby of The Daily Howler puts it all in one nice neat-little package: the press corps pushed wholesale the RNC spin that Gore lied about his role in the development of the internet. INVENTING INVENTED THE INTERNET! No one said Boo about Gore’s remark. Then, the RNC spin-points arrived John Kerry and the rest MUST pay attention to this because they will be subjected to the exact same kind of lies and spin as Gore was in 2000. The RNC and their willing allies in the press managed to turn someone who was almost universally ackonwledged to be a descent guy, Al Gore, into a charicature of a serial-exagerator. Kerry has already been subjected to HairGate 2. He better be prepared for worse.
