Regardless the jokes we make about how Gore comes across to us, how we may feel about him, this is so real, it makes her tale credible to me. A friend of mine was gah-gah because Biden and his party were at the next table in a restaurant where she was having dinner. That Teflon-coating she describes is there, we all know it, we've seen it time and time again. And these men, these pols, especially the ones who aren't all that good-looking, they get off on having women practically dripping all over them, they learn to be able to abuse the power of the office, celebrity by imposing themselves on the more vulnerable.
It makes me crazy; as I say, they've got endless numbers of willing participants ready to go at the drop of a hat ... it's got to be the power trip, that they do this to women who aren't at all interested. I dunno, it must bruise the ego or something, (incredulous voice) "What do you mean, you don't want to??"
One of the probable reasons she was reluctant to come forward earlier is that she knows his people would try to drag her through the dirt, much like Clinton’s folks did. And someone who works as a masseur may well have things in their life they don’t want being made public.
