hsuwh writes "Google has hired Internet pioneer Vint Cerf away from MCI as its "Chief Internet Evangelist". "He is one of the most important people alive today," said [Google CEO Eric] Schmidt, who has been friends with Cerf for more than 20 years. "Vint has put his heart and soul into making the Internet happen. I know he is going to jump right in here and start shoveling out new ideas for Google.""

    But yea, the joke is funnier then the truth by far ;)

    The truth is actually what made the joke funny, though probably not in the way the jokester meant it to be funny.

    Purely unintentionally, it's the first actually funny Gore/Internet joke made since the original Repub exaggeration.
