So basically what you're saying is that it's Al's fault that he was taken out of context because he did not spell out something specifically, which is actually quite complicated from both a technological and legislative standpoint. Because people and reporters/pundits who are not technologically or legislatively literate attacked him, it's his fault. He should have been a lot smarter in that interview, and stated "I take credit for introducing legislation that allowed the development of the Internet as we know it today. I was not sitting in a basement with Vint Cerf, working out binary representations of the TCP/Ip Protocol stack and how it relates to the OSI model. But since so many of you are unfamiliar with this technology, I need to explain this so that IF at some point I were to say that I 'invented' the Internet, people will understand that I did not mean it literally."

So it's his fault for not saying this? And even if it is, how does Kerry's comment help us beat Bush? And why would Kerry even want to degrade another Democrat, who isn't even running?

Oh yeah, and how come our press doesn't respnd the same way to Bush's innumerable gaffes and misstatements? And wouldn't it be more important for Kerry to make jokes about them?
