To say that claiming he said he "invented" the Internet is is borderline libelous is just borderline retarded. Media, as they tend to do, misquoted him to make him sound foolish (when it's a democrat, it's the republican attack dogs; when it's a republican, it's the liberal media bias -- in fact, the press just feeds off negativity and fear)you say that i am talking out my ass and then prove my point. interesting ploy.
But I'm surprised. I didn't think he said something so foolish. I thought it was a big exaggeration on the media's part. Of course what he meant was that he took the initiative in creating the Internet "as we now know it". But even seems debatable I was positive that he sponsored the bill that deregulated the Internet for commerce; he didn't even do that.
Sure, he talked about it, but I couldn't find anything that he sponsored (admitedly only a cursory search) that materially affected the Internet's growth. But I'm sure since Apri always does his research, he's sure to link a bunch of articles right about now.
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.
