It appears she believes he is guilty. That’s how I read it.

[Howie66]

Why should she defend that sweaty pus-bag?

[donhunt]

I’d say she just figured out what a boob he is.

[hinckley buzzard]

What is she to say? This episode with the masseuse happened what, three years ago? How many more have there been since, that just didn't have the element of non-consent to make them newsworthy?

this ain’t Al’s first tryst...just 1st one to make a rag

The standard when Clarence Thomas was accused was that , if Anita Hill’s charges were true, there would be others. That’s why Maier tried so hard to scare up others with her book “Strange Justice, “ but the women who emerged had less credibility than Larry Sinclair. On the other hand, most of the highwire womanizers since then have proved the “repeated offenses” standard. Tipper would be unwise to say much until that has a chance to play out, even if she believes Algore is telling the truth.

[GAGOP]

She’s obtaining leverage.

[Ditter]

I am guessing this is not Cowboy Al’s first rodeo. Why should she defend the scum bag?

[arthurus]

When Tipper married Algor he was on the make- moving up. She had expectations of increasing affluence.He was probably always a dog. These things are do not just start when a man is old. Now he is RICH and tipper can finally leave with a big chunk of that rich.

[Palladin]

She’s glad to be rid of the oaf.

Probably will clean up in the divorce settlement—even better tha Elin’s!

[Cyber Liberty]

Because she knows he's a lying bag of pus. And I respect her a bit more because of it. She's like the celebrity's wife who refuses to stand next to him when he makes the "I'm sorry" speech.

[freespirited]

Simple. She is following the advice of her divorce attorney.

Here’s how I read it: Gore paid for her silence by purchasing her a $8-9 million dollar home - and I’m curious if ONLY HER NAME appears on the mortage ..??

That’s one way to protect a whole lot of the Gore fortune - keep it tied up in property - in another person’s name - until the whole thing blows over.

And .. if the victim does sue Gore - then at least $8-9 mil is protected. Sounds like a pretty good move for a wife to make. Whether she still likes her husband or not isn’t even the issue.

The Gores will not be attending Chelsea Clinton's wedding on the 31st:

Who's invited? The event's elite guest list has been a better-kept secret than the locale — so far, anyway. But we do know at least one couple who won’t be attending: Al and Tipper Gore. The New York Daily News’ Frank DiGiacomo reports today that the recently separated Gores will be giving the nuptials a pass. "The Gores are not attending the wedding," Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider said in a statement. "They both wish Chelsea well, believe she is a wonderful young woman, and they share in the family's excitement."

[DesertRhino]

Wait, wait,,, i know the answer. ‘Cause she’s at home going through the lyrics of ‘80s rock albums.

I never liked her much,,,

“Why isn’t Tipper defending Al Gore?”

Because he hates his ample guts.

[FormerACLUmember]

“Why isn’t Tipper defending Al Gore?”

Because SHE hates his ample guts.

[GQuagmire]

Frankly Scarlett, I don’t give a damn!

[stboz]

After being French-kissed on national television, how might she feel? Embarrased is just for starters.

[I_Like_Spam]

Al Gore is big money nowadays, I’m sure that Tipper has competent legal counsel to make sure she gets her share of the $100 million global warming fortune that he’s accumulated during their marriage.

She’s undoubtably acting on the advice of her lawyer.
