Al never said he  invented it, he said he is responsible for creating it. 
See the  difference?

Claim:   Vice-President Al Gore claimed that he "invented" the  Internet. 

Status:   False. 

Origins:  Despite the derisive references that continue even today, Al Gore 
did not  claim he "invented" the Internet, nor did he say anything that could 
reasonably  be interpreted that way. The "Al Gore said he 'invented' the 
Internet" put-downs  were misleading, out-of-context distortions of something he 
said during an _interview_ 
(http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1999/03/09/president.2000/transcript.gore/index.html)  with Wolf Blitzer on CNN's "Late 
Edition"  program on  with W 1999.
