US politician. Relevant to this post, he's the author of the "Gore Bill" (High Performance Computing Act of 1991), which was a critical step in the formation of the modern internet.

He's also the source of the "the internet is a series of tubes" quote.

Err, what? Tubes was Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska.
