==Quotes==
==Quotes==
Speaking of his Senate career, Gore said, '''''"I took the initiative in creating the Internet."''''' <ref>Blitzer, Wolf. Transcript: Vice President Gore on CNN's 'Late Edition'. <u>CNN</u>. 9 March 1999. 2 June 2007 <[http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1999/03/09/president.2000/transcript.gore/ http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1999/03/09/president.2000 /transcript.gore/]></ref> Though this claim has been used by his detractors to label Gore as an exaggerator, Vinton G. Cerf, so-called "father of the Internet" stated, "I think it is very fair to say that the Internet would not be where it is in the United States without the strong support given to it and related research areas by the vice president in his current role and in his earlier role as senator." <ref> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/campaigns/wh2000/stories/gore032199.htm </ref> And Newt Gingrich claimed, "Gore is the person who, in the Congress, most systematically worked to make sure that we got to an Internet." <ref> http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/09/22/gore.lat/index.html </ref>

*CNN: As seen by both Gore's supporters and those outside his circle, including historians, Gore doesn't necessarily lie intentionally. Rather, they say, he embellishes, and does so mysteriously in areas where the truth is already on his side. And then his language, they say, gets blown out of proportion in journalists' efforts to simplify and build up a story. <ref> http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/09/22/gore.lat/index.html </ref>
