...three months ago and stopped receiving cash aid. Rene Haros' income was low enough for her five children to remain eligible for Medicaid. But no one told her that unless she asked for it, they'd be cut off. To re-apply, she has to navigate a complex and intrusive process. She must go to an interview, fill out as many as 19 forms, reveal family assets and document everything from children's births to job histories of adult household members. Once approved, Ray's mother will have to return to the state office every six months to update...

The issue of Gore's complex relationship with the facts dates back to well before this election cycle, long before he'd ever said anything about Love Canal or the Internet. During his first presidential run in 1988, his own staff warned him about hurting his image by stretching the truth, and "how it may continue to suffer if you continue to go out on a limb with remarks that may be impossible...
