If you believe her story there was much more than a big hug, there was grabbing and shoving her hand onto his genitals, forcing onto a bed while being groped and climbed on top of. There was quite a bit of specific detail and I only read one article on the topic which wasn't exhaustive.
Interestingly, in the article, she described herself as a liberal and when she went to her liberal friends they told her to bury the story and just suck it up because if she takes Gore down the world will be destroyed by global warming.
Again, that is just her version of the story so I don't profess to know what really transpired...maybe Gore isn't a sex crazed poodle...to be honest, I'd be rather happy to find out he wasn't so I can purge that mental image.
Gore responded like he had hired a "legal" hooker - someone working under the cover of "massage"... How common is that in hotels? I'd like to know.
It should be part of the story.

That's one creepy metal image alright... That said, my first reaction - was that this had the feel of political "hit". For one thing - the MSM jumped on the story - and usually - no matter what a dem does - they find a reason to "give a pass" to the dem in question. The fact that a person giving massages in men's hotel rooms would have the kind of liberal friends who would discuss the ethics involved in global warming relative to a man coming on too aggressively is also interesting and brings up questions.
Then again, this could all be as it's presented. Gore was a jerk - the woman was pure as the driven snow - and friends who cared about global warming and politics were part and parcel of this woman's circle... Really, it could all be true. And maybe a massage in a hotel room at midnight is always only a massage. I've never had a massage in a hotel room - midnight or not... but it seems a reporter could look into it... I'd like to know more.
