1. HA
I'm not sure, but I guess we'll have to consult with President Gore, the inventor of the internet(s)! :hi:

5. That explains Cheney's statement in the previous debate.
On one of those other internets, factcheck.com is a Republican site!

Hehe. ;)

9. Famous Bush quote

There is a famous Bush quote about the Internet which demonstrates the Shrub doesn't have a clue what those "internets" are.

"...but it's life of children living in, you know, the dark dungeons of the Internet."

11. This is like his father's fascination with the supermarket scanner
Bushes don't use technology themselves. They own people to do that sort of lower class thing for them.

13. ( 1 ) One.
The only 'internet' is the one everyone has access to. By definition, (loosely) it's not an internet if it is not free and
unfettered.

Technologically, there are much more restrictive definitions.

I'net free, or die a slow, suffocating death.

19. One in each country...
The internet in China, for example, is not the same internet we all have access to.

Unfortunately.

20. You can tell the intelligence gap
right there in that one comment. And so it leads us to yet another question--if Al Gore invented the internet, which one was it, and how do I get to be part of it? And who invented the other vast number of them?
