I decided I would toss in my bit after finding a few things I imagine some of you would find entertaining.
I also want to stress that my wife and I have long decided we would vote Kerry this year.

Al Gore
"During my service in the United States congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

In an ad for Al Gore in 1988 it said that he was "A brilliant student, Gore won a scholarship at Harvard where he graduated with honors." During High school, Al Gore was put in the lower fifth of his class and received multiple Cs and Ds.
In the American Prospect, Gore said "I introduced the very first free TV legislation...". Actually, there were 163 Bills for free or reduced cost TV introduced in Congress since 1960.
"That Micheal Jackson is amazing! Three plays in 2 minutes!" -About Micheal Jordan
"A zebra does not change its spots."
I could go on...
