NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, are separating after 40 years of marriage.
According to an e-mailed statement obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday, the Gores said it was "a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration."
Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the Gores, but declined to comment further.
Al Gore lost the 2000 presidential election to Republican George W. Bush. He has since campaigned worldwide to draw attention to climate change, which in 2007 led to a Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar for the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."
Tipper Gore is known for her advocacy on mental health issues. She became interested partly because her mother suffered from depression.
The Gores have four adult children.
This is a surprise
hoo boigh! this oughta be good!
Bu-wa-ha-haa!!!!
Even Tipper`s had enough of his bullshit !
We now know why he just purchased a new home.
On another note she probably couldn’t handle him being so crazy any longer.
ANy bets on who the “other woman” is?...Just saying.
Now who couldda seen that coming? I don’t understand how anyone could stand to be in the same ROOM with that doofus — let alone being MARRIED TO HIM!?!?!!
So, does that mean he just cut his carbon footprint in half?
Some global “cooling” going on at the Gore household....
“...Tipper Gore is known for her advocacy on mental health issues...”
It finally became clear to her what she was dealing with....
Hmmm......they just bought a multi-million dollar home in Montecito.
The timing is odd.
As much as AlGore irritates me to distraction, the ending of a forty year marriage is very sad.
Maybe she tired of all of his hot air.
“ANy bets on who the “other woman” is?...Just saying.”
Who would bet that it’s really a woman?
RUN, Tipper!! RUN!!!
Yes, indeed, a surprise, but at the same time, Al seemed to be coming increasingly unhinged in the last couple of years. It must be hard being married to someone who is delusional.
I guess they finally stopped Thinking About Tomorrow.
Put that in your Lockbox, AL G. (Algae)
I wonder which one of them gets custody of the carbon credits?
More than likely, he doubled it.
