Yes, I was being ironic. But those quotes don't help his case much. Saying "I took the initiative in creating the Internet" is, with or without context, just laughable.
With a context, its not laughable to me. I don't have too much respect to Al Gore, but I don't believe he was so dumb or thought his audience is so that actually anyone would believe he "created" internet from a technical point of view. But he did, unfortunately, took a part in creating internet from a legal point of view.
