Vinton G.

We all owe Al Gore.

Yeah, but in this day and age, we cannot have little things like the truth getting in the way of good punch lines and such. The GOP spun that around and used it to distract everyone from the real issues. Just like they did with gay marriage and just like they are trying to do with illegal immigration this time (though, that is a real issue, but they are using it to try and take our minds off others real issues, some more important).
