It's official: Former Vice President Al Gore and wife Tipper have a $2.3 million home in Belle Meade, records filed with the Metro Register of Deeds show.

The home, at 312 Lynwood Blvd., is a white frame home in a colonial style that sits on 2.09 acres filled with magnolia trees. The deed was signed on June 17. The home had been owned by the Bear Family Trust and sold in 1999 for $1.15 million, according to Metro property records.

Al and Tipper are determened to get into the "White House". In case anyone didn't see it, Belle Meade was listed as the 3rd wealthiest zip code in the nation by a Forbes Magazine article that was published a couple of weeks ago.

Here is the Gores "White House"

Sigh....I may have to move....

At least he can stop wandering the globe, aimlessly.

After shelling out that much for a house, I wonder if they could manage to buy Tipper's mother her medicine.

[Paul Atreides]

Funny, I thought all dims were just regular working-class slobs. Only Republicans live in million-dollar mansions. Why didn't Mr. Environmentalism just buy a regular home and use the rest of the cash to buy up some wilderness for preservation?

[nuancey]

I wonder who's going to move into that leaky, decrepid rental shack the Gores have available in their back yard?

They'll have to have some supplemental income to keep that Dixie white house now that Al's political career is dead.

The picture of the house reminds me of another famous house, but for the life of me I can't remember where I saw it???? I guess the charities can forget that generous 350 buck donation this year.

Pray for GW and the Truth

The absentee citizen/landlord comes to roost...Tennessee, you have my deepest sympathies.

[TennTuxedo]

You would think that if he could afford this house, he could afford to pay for plumbing repairs in his Carthage TN rental house.

[TennTuxedo]

Not to worry. Remember that our "environment protecting" Algore, still owns shares of Occidental Petroleum to help offest such a major home purchase.

[mattdono]

Is it me or does it seem that algore is trying to live out a fantasy? Is it me or does this house have a "White House-y" feel to it?

algore: See, Tipper. There it is! I swear! See! It's the White House!

Tipper [patting algore in his white, snug jacket]: There, there, al. Everything will be just fine. Here's your medicine. Now, don't you spit it out this time.

[Paul Atreides]

I forgot about that!

Interesting that the Bore still uses an automobile and lives in a house (something that necessitated the killing of trees).

[Paul Atreides]

Discussions are to include: ''What's at stake in '02?''

Hopefully, Hillary burning.

Shameful !

I still would like to know if this place is lily white...

[Paul Atreides]

LOL!

GORE IN BASEMENT OF NEW HOUSE: "Tipper, bring me a another beer! And a razor! I missed a spot!"

[Paul Atreides]

I can assure you, that if Bubba and Bubbette landed a home in an all-white neighborhood in New York, it is practically a given that Al and Flipper did in Nashville.

[mewzilla]

LOL! But there went my lunch...

[mewzilla]

Lovely how these limosine libs walk the walk, isn't it?
