Genie, Al Gore also claimed that he and Tipper were the inspiration for the couple in "Love Story". Even after the author said they were not, Gore kept trying to spin it to make it look like he had SOME input.
He has an unfortunate tendency to try to make himself -as T.R. was supposedly wont to do- the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral.
He even claimed to have been involved with the design of the inter-state highway system. His father was one of the architects of the enabeling legislation, and Al watched him work on it, even accompanying his father to the hearings.
He would have been between 7 and 10 at the time.
A highly precocious lad.
