$100.00 for the arthritis medicine, Lodine; and he claims that his dog
takes the same medicine for $37.00, claiming "This is wrong!"
FACT: Gore's aides were quick to apologize for Gore's lie, saying the

When
Meyers pressed harder, "You've never told a lie?!" Gore said,
"Not that
I know of." SOUND FAMILIAR?
