Al and Tipper Gore, whose playful romance enlivened Washington and the campaign trail for a quarter century, have decided to separate after 40 years of marriage, the couple told friends Tuesday.

In an “Email from Al and Tipper Gore,” the couple said: “We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate.

“This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.”

I did too.

Although I have to admit I don’t like government interference. This is 1 of those questionable issues.

nah, but she knows what living with Crazy as a bed bug is like. And she may have researched it as a reason for divorce.

Is that better?

I don't think he's ever looked any better than now. He's always reminded me of a slimey homeless pedophile.

Is “crazier than a bedbug” considered grounds for divorce?

No, but I believe that, "crazier than a sh**house rat" DOES qualify, and in Orange County, CA, you can get a divorce for either insanity or infidelity if she's, "F***ing Goofy..."

At least the kids are grown up.

Biologically, anyway.

That's a bit silly. They are public figures. It's always open season. There is no way this could be kept "private", so asking that "privacy is respected" is the only proactive thing that they could have done.

And I personally do respect their privacy. It is their marriage and their problem and I would deplore using such an event as an opportunity to score cheap political points. I'm sorry the marriage seems to be struggling, but it is none of my business.

What hacks me off is that the same courtesy is not extended to public figures on the right who go through private crises of some kind (e.g. Sarah Palin and her daughter's pregnancy).

"Who gets the internet?"

Algore gets IP addresses 0.0.0.0 to 127.127.127.127, Tipper gets IP addresses 128.128.128.128 through 255.255.255.255.

“Al and Tipper Gore, whose playful romance “

- was a total fake created by political advisors for political purposes. Al is at the age where he’s probably looking for some arm candy.

Translation: "they've been fighting like cats and dogs over his philandering, and he's finally agreed to pay her as much as she's been asking for to remain quiet."

Ahh, they’re trying to keep it under wraps. What we need to do is watch the filings for the public companies that Gore’s investment partnership is involved in - if my guess is correct that he’s basically going to pay her off big time, there will be changes in effective control of some of those securities that will have to be oh-so-quietly reported to the SEC.

She probably walked in on him wearing her lingerie and diddling with a cabana boy.
