Ha! Gore was all wee-wee’d up...in more ways than one.
Has anyone interviewed Tipper yet?
This is a credible story (DNA -stained garment and all). And if so, I’m thinking that this wasn’t an isolated occurrence. Maybe the publicity will bring other examples to the surface, ala Clintoon-esque. That would be sue-weeet.
You did, you posted the exact same blog twice. For future reference, please post the whole thing. I went there and it locked on me each time. If you post the whole thing, it helps FR readers actually see the entire blog in context. Then if they like it, they’ll go back (but you might wanna make it, say, less “busy” so that it doesn’t lock up).

Gore Response to Masseuse Story: Enquirer Did Not Pay Massage Therapist
The Washington Post is now reporting the Al Gore-Redheaded Masseuse story. Amazingly, they track how the National Enquirer report relied heavily on the documents behind the accusation, and point out the care taken before letting the story go to press.
Al Gore
The most powerful part of the story, if true - and this is coming from the Washington Post, not the Enquirer, is:
According to a source friendly with the Gores, Al Gore confirmed that he received a therapeutic massage in his hotel room that night, and likely from the therapist making the accusation. But, the source said, Gore remembers getting a massage without incident and the therapist leaving on good terms.
When an accused person indicates they remember the incident differently, theyre lying. He obviously remembers this particular massage therapist, this particular night in this particular hotel.
Yes, Gore remembers it well, and not in hindsight. His attorneys have been trying to keep it under the rug since 2007, once again in 2008 - and used not-so-subtle threats when talking to the Portland Tribune:
Gores lawyers wrote: You. . . . are aware that everyone who knows Al and Tipper Gore well can and does attest to the integrity of their 37 year marriage and to his honorable character. [The Gores recently separated]
Leaving the room on good terms that night- apparently worked for him, but not for the woman sent to the room of Mr. Stone.
The article makes it clear that the National Enquirer did not pay for any portion of the story. The Portland, Oregon masseuses attorney asked for money, but got none. For background on this story, read this.
This can’t be true, at the least Tipper would be divorcing him over it if it were, even after all their years together.
I guess we now know why the marriage failed.
Hilary is simply isolating any potential threats to her next and final run for the Presidency.
I find her story more or less credible but I dont think we’ll see a criminal prosecution. She has done too much to hurt the ability to make a criminal case (like waiting three years to finally make a statement to police). Now deciding she’ll sell her story for a million in cash is the nail in the coffin. It makes it too easy for the defense to destroy her in a criminal case.
She could get a lot more than a million from Weird Al in a civil case but I will be shocked if criminal charges are filed.
Al did not have sexual relations with that woman. We were at the leg humper's anonymous meeting at the time.
The Washington Post is now reporting the... story. Surprisingly, they track how the National Enquirer report relied "heavily" on the documents behind the accusation, and point out the care taken before letting the story go to press. Gore and his attorneys have been trying to sweep this under the rug since 2007 and again in 2008. There can hardly be an "I don't remember" defense.Since 2007! Thanks maggiesnotebook.
