Well, first of all this has no place on Paddlewise.

Secondly, it's not true. According to www.snopes.com (a repository of urban
myths and legends) it's been variosly attributed to Al Gore or one of the
Clintons. Their example is almost word for word like the one you sent out
without checking: go to
http://www.snopes.com/politics/clintons/thief.aspAnd they have another
example aimed at Tipper Gore. Doesn't take much to
determine the veracity of these.
