Al Gore’s WordPress Powered Site Hacked

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

My excuse, I did not invent the Internet!

    Everything has been hacked by now, the CIA, FBI. I don’t thinkit’s such a big deal. Certainly, he should have his site current but if someone want to hack him, it’s probably going to happen.

    Al Gore will survive. He’s survived losing an election, so this shouldn’t be a big deal.
