annabeast 24 Report post Posted June 7, 2010 My opinion doesn't have anything to do with him being a Democrat, Republican or otherwise. I just think he's a typical old-school male who is making the age-old mistakes of 1) believing your own PR, and 2) trying to recapture your virility by banging younger or more beautiful women. And Tipper is very attractive, IMO, so it has nothing to do with her. I could be wrong, of course, but again, this isn't even remotely an unusual storyline.

Baby Doll 77 Report post Posted June 16, 2010 eh.. not happy, just figured. Thought they probably had an agreement for years. Still betting he'll be showing up with a "new" girlfriend in a few months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobbyD 2 Report post Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) See I'm feeling the same thing...I thought it was a marriage of convenience or business. Anyone remember the 2000 DNC Convention? Gore had his wife onstage and awkwardly had a mini-make out session with his wife. The pundits made fun of it, since it was so out of his "wooden" character...and seemed like a desperate attempt to make Gore have a personality. To me, it seemed forced. I know it's reaching...but it was...weird. ETA: Awkward makeout session at :06 mark... Edited June 16, 2010 by BobbyD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maxiemom 623 Report post Posted June 16, 2010 Well, if it truly was a marriage of convenience then good for them for pulling the plug so that they could both go on with their lives in a more personally satisfying manner. That still doesn't excuse any infidelity for either party IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kath 153 Report post Posted June 16, 2010 Happy? Not really. It's sad when stories of cheating surface. But, it just felt like there was probably someone else in the picture. I suspect they've had "an arrangement" for years and only decided to split when the cheating led to feelings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kath 153 Report post Posted June 25, 2010 This made me giggle... From the Village Voice blog June 24: "Oh, National Enquirer. We knew exactly what to think of you (not much) until the day you broke the John Edwards love child story. (That was some good stuff!) And now, whenever you come out with the story of so-and-so's affair or drug addiction or secret baby lair, we wonder: Could you be telling the truth, again? It's something of the reverse of the boy who cried wolf with you. Thus, while we don't really believe that a horny, lummox-like Al Gore manhandled his 54-year-old massage therapist and made her listen to Pink in a hotel room one lonely night after lecturing on the environmental circuit back in 2006, we also have to give someone the credit for rendering it so...explicitly. And, what if he did? The police report, by the way, is real, according to the D.A.'s office. The question is, is the story? Herewith, find the "highlights" of the night in question, which the Oregonian has very kindly constructed for us. If God is in the details, God is here. --The woman said she was called to the hotel about 10:30 p.m. Oct. 24, 2006, to provide a massage for Gore, who was registered under the name "Mr. Stone." ---Once inside his ninth-floor suite, she said he pushed her hand to his groin, fondled her buttocks and breasts, tongue-kissed her and threw her down on the bed as she tried to thwart his advances. --The woman told investigators that she informed two friends and kept the clothes she wore that night, including her black pants with stains on them. --Gore wrapped her in an "inescapable embrace" and fondled her back, buttocks and breasts as she was trying to break down her massage table. --She called him a "crazed sex poodle" and tried to distract him, pointing out a box of Moonstruck chocolates on a nearby table. He went for the chocolates and then offered her some, cornering her, fondling her and shoving his tongue in her mouth to french kiss as he pressed against her. --She said she was intimidated by his physical size, calling him "rotund," described his "violent temper, dictatorial, commanding attitude" -- what she termed a contrast from his "Mr. Smiley global-warming concern persona." --Suddenly, she said, he "flipped me on my back, threw his whole body face down over a top me, pinning me down." She said she loudly protested, "Get off me, you big lummox!" --Later, she said, he tried to lure her into the bedroom to hear pop star Pink's "Dear Mr. President" on his iPod dock. Wow. Just. Wow. If you want more, read the 2009 police report here. (You'll want to wash your hands afterward.) Per the Portland Police Bureau's statement yesterday, "The case was not investigated any further because detectives concluded there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations." They've said they'll reopen the case should new evidence come forward. Meanwhile, the massage therapist has been sighted "wearing a large floppy hat and sunglasses" accompanied by a young man carrying a bag. Hm." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right. Al Gore -- a crazed sex poodle who is addicted to chocolates and listens to Pink on his iPod?? This sounds like the screenplay to a movie-- a really, really funny movie.
