    a hoax is circulating that Al Gore laughed at the bin Laden threat in 1987
    (howling, blithering projection: that was when Reagan was *funding* bin Laden)

    here is a version where someone changed bin Laden back to the right terrorist
    (but left Gore)
    http://www.planetproctor.com/2002/pp02-08.html
    
    here is an earlier version that does not mention Gore
    (suggesting that someone added Gore's name before forwarding it)
