• Is among the few known persons whose names anagram into one-word letters, i.e. transpositions. Re-arranging the letters in "Al Gore" yields either "galore" or "gaoler". Others names with this property include Tom Cruise ("costumier"), Condi Rice ("coincider"), Congressmen Ed Royce ("decoyer"), and Ed Pastor ("adopters", "pastored", "readopts") and commentator Eleanor Clift ("reflectional")
• From an article by Mountain Democrat columnist David Jacobsen: "In a March 1999 interview with Wolf Blitzer, Gore said, "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." Taken in context, the sentence, despite some initial ambiguity, means that as a congressman Gore promoted the system we enjoy today, not that he could patent the science, though that's how the quotation has been manipulated. Hence the disingenuous substitution of "inventing" for the actual language."
