im with you on this juju. im too fucking lazy to find out what he actually meant by that, but it certainly does not mean that he thinks he created it. taken in context, available
here, its a bit clearer what he intended.
im no big fan of al gore (or politicians in general) but i do think it is unfair to twist his words like that. i was out for breakfast about a week ago and i heard these people in the table next to me who obviously knew nothing about computers or the internet making fun of how 'al gore created the internet' and it drove me nuts.

edit: changed link to something a bit less biased 
edit again: i guess the new link isnt really 'in context', but you get my meaning.
