"How many of you here remember where you were and what you were doing when the United States Supreme Court stopped the counting of votes two years ago?" -- Al Gore, in a self-absorbed campaign speech for Kathleen Kennedy Townsend in Maryland.
Gore also introduced himself as, "I am Al Gore, I used to be the next President of the United States." He then asked, "Here in Maryland, does the candidate who gets the most votes actually win?"
I guess Al Gore, inventor of the internet, has never heard of the electoral college, and was unaware of the requirements to win the Presidency.

UPDATE: I like how James Taranto summed up Gore's beef: "Later, campaigning in San Francisco, Gore accused the California Angels of having "stolen" the World Series because they scored only 41 runs, while the San Francisco Giants scored 44."
I remember that I was mad as hell. I was hoping Buchanan would close the gap and pull of the victory of the century. :-)
