Fire it up

Former President Al Gore's website was crashed by Matt Drudge's website on Tuesday afternoon. Gore's site was down from approximately 4:30 PM ET until about 6PM ET.

The DrudgeReport.com linked to Gore's claim that "increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with... man-made global warming" at exactly 4:29pm ET.

Gore's website crashed almost immediately following Drudge's link. The irony for Gore is that he has touted his role of "creating the Internet."

"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet," Gore said during a March 9, 1999 CNN interview.

It now appears the creator of the Internet's website is not able to handle traffic from the DrudgeReport.com.
