Law enforcement authorities in Portland, Ore., have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to proceed with a criminal prosecution of former vice president Al Gore after a massage therapist accused him of sexually assaulting her in a 2006 incident.

Do you think she will join forces with the other woman who have come forward with similar stories?
It is interesting that Tipper left him on or about the time the story broke.
It’s difficult to say. Sadly, this masseuse incident seems just like the kind of petty and controlling behavior that Al has exhibited in other areas. It’s possible that Gore may have spread some of his carbon trading $$$ around to put an end to the legal aspect of this incident. He should have done so sooner, but he doesn’t seem to have a real strong connection with reality.
But, as with OJ, it will never go away. It is pretty funny and provides endless fodder for the late night comics.
If Gore did it, he will do it again. This kind of behavior is not something easily controlled. A few years from now something else will come out. Maybe a street hooker incident like Hugh Grant.
I guess Al had a short arm inspection.
