As I attempt to log all of Gore's gaffs, this page might get very long.
First, let us not forget when Algore talked about that great basketball star, Michael Jackson.
Then, we remember when he saw a bust of George Washington and asked, "Who is that?"
Now, he talks about tobacco products as being the great evil, but we remember when he bragged to tobacco farmers how he had been such a farmer and sewed it, harvested it, cut it, etc., He did not mention he also got rich of it.
Al Gore opened his Iowa campaign and never mentioned his sliver spoon upbringing. Instead, he talked about how he slopped hogs, drove mules, built homes and cleared land -- by hand and with a double bladed ax, no less. The man running for president was a boy who lived and was schooled in the rarefied air of Washington, spending summers and congressional breaks on the family farm in Tennessee.
Gore laid it on thick in Iowa, contending in a round of appearances and interviews that he was a small business person and a home builder -- experiences for which he has not been known. 'I lived on a farm,' he went on, and learned how to plow a 'steep hillside' with mules, hose out the hog waste and 'take up hay all day long in the hot sun.'
Gore also claimed that he was the father of the internet, that huge, amorphous communications vehicle that got rolling long before he ever entered politics.
More than a year ago, he claimed he and his wife were models for the romantic novel Love Story. The author of that book was 'befuddled.'
Back in his 1988 campaign for the presidential nomination, Gore defended his use of a brochure with a picture of him carrying an M-16 rifle in Vietnam, denying he was trying to make people think he served in combat. He had also appeared in TV ads wearing an olive-green field jacket and saying: 'I'm a Vietnam veteran -- one of the lucky ones.'
Gore spent five months in Vietnam as a military information officer, a non combat role that he says included brushes with enemy fire.
