Could it be true - the mother of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy was once put in charge of little Al Gore?
Conservative political maven Lucianne Goldberg revealed her Gore connection on Monday, telling Fox News Radio's Tony Snow that she was Al Gore's babysitter when he was 10 years old.
Turns out, Goldberg's friend at the Washington, D.C. private school they both attended was the Gore family's regular babysitter. But one night, Al's parents called and the friend couldn't make it.
"She asked if I would go over," Goldberg told Snow. "So I went over, they didn't know me. I was just her friend from school."
The woman who would later advise Linda Tripp to tape Monica Lewinsky said her contact that night with the future VP was brief:
"I just sat in [the Gores'] living room and watched TV. [Little Al] came out and asked for a glass of water, he was about 10, I think. He probably didn't need a babysitter because he had a big sister, but maybe she was out. I got him his glass of water and he went back to bed. That was it."
"It was sort of a weird little evening when you look back," Goldberg recalled.
My dad, same as he did last time. Ok, not the whole Internet, but he was on the Arpanet design/implementation team, and he says that they never saw Al at any of the meetings.
Its more than rumoured that Gore showers 3-4 times a day. Very peculiar they (I) believe.
she didn't?
The question is, who's babysitting him now?
This has got to be the freakiest story I've read in about a year.
She had a whole evening to talk to him about conservative issues, and lo and behold, how history would have changed if she had!
I understand that Lucianne Goldberg did help invent an obscure political web site called FreeRepublic.com, together with a really nice man in California.

Ahhhhhh....it's little algore in his jammies...
Why is it peculiar that he showers 3 times a day...he sweats like a pig..
OK, you made me laugh.
:-)
Cool. I hope that's documented somewhere more authoritatively.
Because he don't work!
"It was sort of a weird little evening when you look back," Tipper recalled, then quickly changed the subject from her Honeymoon Night... ;)
