No. To my joke, it literally doesn’t even matter whether Al Gore did or didn’t have anything to do with the Internet. The joke is that it’s funny to put a politician in with all the engineers and scientists, and also that Al Gore has an amusing name. Completely disconnected from facts at all, really. I don’t know what this has to do with an election tbh.
- sriram_malhar 4y agoI have a feeling you don't find Eisenhower being mentioned as one of the creators of the interstate highway system as funny. Politicians have huge leverage when they choose to pursue an idea relentlessly. The shot at Gore feels cheap only because that (bombastic sounding) "joke" was amplified to ridiculous extremes during a very divisive election, to the extent that his enormous contributions have been nullified. I'm tired of lies.
- ironmagma 4y agoI have basically no opinion on either Eisenhower or Gore other than that Al Gore has a funnier name. Sometimes a joke is just a joke.
