"He is anti-media right now," says Donna Brazile, a Democratic strategist from the Gulf Coast who managed Gore’s 2000 campaign. "I doubt he will become a spokesperson for our cause."
That is Brazile’s theory about Mr. Environment’s silence. She is wrong.
He is silent on this issue for the same reason that Teddy Kennedy couldn’t join the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas fight: The equivalency to Teddy’s womanizing is that Mr. Gore has been in a two-year affair with Laurie David, also an environmentalist, and it would be, uh, unseemly.
This makes perfect sense to me. With Mr. David’s money, the former Mrs. David made whopping contributions to Democratic causes, and she did care about environmental issues. (She was also involved with the Gore documentary.) She is hot-looking, as they say, and she was also looking-looking. (Her previous amour was said to be either the contractor or the gardener at their summer home.) Tipper was not only high-maintenance, but Albert has been flying around the globe for the past two years.
The marriage-watching commentariat says this is typical Boomer stuff. Now that people may expect to live until 90 (oy) they’ve decided they will get things the way they want them for some portion of the back nine.
I find it interesting that both the Messrs Gore and David are low-affect guys – in terms of personality. If you could assign sounds to personality, both gentlemen would be monotone. Or if you want to go with colors, beige. The good news about the affair is that one of the grocery-store rags said Albert was gay! Apparently not.
The Davis guy is much better looking, much more attractive than that repulsive fish.
Larry David makes me laugh, laugh and laugh. Love his “Curb your Enthusiasm”. I just discovered it at the end of 2009 and bought all seasons. I found myself thinking he’s a cutie. He makes me laugh to where my family comes running out into the livingroom, wondering what is making me laugh so hard.
Al Gore, not at all.
Did you watch the blasphemous episode?
And, I'm sure, every time algore disrobes, she breaks into hysterical laughter.
LOL !!!!
So, does anyone think that Al Gore is going to come down hard on BP, when Gore’s wealth was based on Occidental Oil? I haven’t heard anything about the Gores divesting their shares of Oxy, so I can only assume that they still own a big chunk.
Actually, all the Gore Family wealth is/was based on sucking up to that old commie, Armand Hammer.
Gore Sr. was flat out given tons of stock and mines by that old (now burning in Hell) POS
The bulk of the stock that Armand Hammer gave the Gores was in Occidental Oil.
Oh come on - they'd be equally quiet if Bush was President... /s
You are right, many/most women aren’t into looks. However, there is a tipping point. Al Gore passed that point long ago. As for boring/beige personality, that can be okay. Understatement is preferable to flamboyant. IMO
Perhaps Gore and his environmentalist mistress just count polar bears together, hunt manbearpig or play global warming...she puts ice on his forehead to watch “sea level” below the belt rise as it melts.
Correct. Wonder if Gore Family stills holds it or did they donate it to the ‘poor’?
