FICTION: Al Gore remembers his mother lulling him to sleep as a baby by singing the popular ditty, "Wear The Union Label".
FACT: The popular ditty was created by the unions when Gore was 27 years old.
My favorite thing Gore said in 2000.
If we are going to go down that line.........
George W. Bush said that his favourite book as a child was "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" which was published the year after he graduated from Yale. - Just if we are going down that road
.
Both of them said these things to gain support.
Just like Tony Blair when he said as a child he used to love going to see Newcastle United play, he said he would sit behind the goal and watch Jackie Milburn who was his favourite player play. This was despite the fact Milburn left Newcastle before Blair was born and seats weren't installed behind the goal until the 1990s I think it was.
Politicians say a lot of things to get the support of people and seem more likeable, they just don't always work.
