Okay, not really. This is meaningless, but kind of humorous.

Gore Daughter Suffers 'Fuzzy Geography'
October 24, 2000 11:30 am EST

EVERETT, Wash. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore's daughter experienced a bout of what could be called "fuzzy geography" at a campaign rally, stumbling over a state capital lesson she said her father helped her learn.
Kristin Gore, 23, said at a rally for Gore that her father had helped her in many areas of her childhood -- comforting her when her dog died, attending her soccer games, and helping her memorize names of The Beatles' albums "in chronological order."

"He also was the guy who helped me study for my third-grade state capital quiz -- Seattle, I got it down," she said, clearly startling the large crowd. The capital of Washington is Olympia.

Both Gores let the error slide. "More importantly," than the other lessons, Kristin said, "he and my mother have taught my sisters and my brother and me the value of public service."

Do you mean capitols (buildings) or capitals (cities)?

He did found the Washington Capitals.

The Ottawa Senators were named in honor of his time as a Senator out of respect for his efforts to negotiate peace between the U.S. and Canada.


Seriously though, she did say he helped her study. She did not say he helped her pass

Geez, she's a comedy writer. She probably thought the capital was Seattle because it sounds funnier than Olympia. (Seattle even made it on the list of Funny Place Names at Krusty's Clown College in the "Homie the Clown" episode of The Simpsons.)
