Fun reader challenge: determine what Al Gore said to George Bush in his concession retraction. More precisely, what were his exact words about being "snippy"? Possible contenders:
"You don't have to get snippy about this," (cnn.com)
"Well, there's no reason to get snippy," (cnn.com)
"You don't have to be snippy about it." (abcnews.com)
"...so snippy." (msnbc.com)
"Don't get snippy about it." (msnbc.com)
Not a wide range, perhaps, but five mutually contradictory possibilities seems a bit much. Welcome to the world's largest and most expensive game of Telephone.
