Maybe she listened to one of his speeches backwards and heard, “Smoke pot, worship satan and masturbate!”

Maybe they couldn’t reconcile their disagreement: he thinks that everyone should send him money to save the earth, whereas she just thinks that the real answer is to ban AC/DC songs.

Perhaps they can be as miserable as they both have tried to make others, for their own amusement, and to amass power and wealth. Screw ’em both.

“Did I dream this, or was it just yesterday that President Obama was congratulating Al and Tipper Gore on their long and happy marriage?”

The number of women leaving men when the men are no longer a financial asset may be rising, but it is still less than the number of men who leave a sick or dying wife. Maybe in the next generation, but not now. I agree with Walter Sobchak, (only I said it first 😉 Al probably has a bimbo. Men our age don’t like to turn the page on that chapter of life, the reproductive one, and, with sufficient financial assets, they don’t have to do so. If Al takes up with a twenty five year old, people may ask, what’ll he do when he is ninety three and she is fifty five. His answer will be, “Find myself another twenty five year old.”

Now here is the painful part: In the South we are rather vague on what it means to “look Jewish.” We have a goodly number of Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews, and Syrians and Lebanese and Greeks, and all just look Mediterranean, to us. (OK, not the Kazar type, like Woody Allen.) However, we are quite good at spotting other types. We all know who looks Southern and who does not. There is a White Trash look, e.g. Bill Clinton. There is a Southern pretty-boy look, which we try to get our daughters to avoid, because they are good looking and weak of character. Look at Al and Tipper’s wedding photo. Did you say he flunked out of divinity school? Did he jump on every passing band wagon? Did he allow his handlers to pursue endless recounts in Florida, when he knew quite well that these were efforts at election fraud, even unto stealing a Presidential election? Did his charm finally fade for Tipper? Or did he chase la bimbeau? Sorry, folks, it’s all there in his face.

Maybe they are doing the divide and hide scam. Maybe not. The other, you would not find one Southerner in ten, Black or white, who would not see the weakness in one glance at that photo.

Bob from Virginia,

Your 7 year statute of limitations plan would never work.

I firmly believe that the wedding ring was originally a symbol of matrimony – that women actually wanted pierced through the groom’s nose….lol.

Gore has been out of his mind for years, stark raving certifiable nuts. I can’t imagine he can be like that in public and not be a raving tyrant at home.
She should have bailed years ago when in full campaign delusion he compared America to his kid lying in the gutter after being hit by a car. That was the work of a sociopath without a soul. Clowns like Gore and Edwards are what make politics the disreputable swamp it is.
Good move Tipper dumping that fat fool.

There should be a statute of limitations on marriages, seven years sounds good; after seven a couple has an automatic divorce or they have to get counseling. Remember a divorce is better than a murder.

Al has a bimbo. There is always a bimbo. Count on it.

Sanctimonious prig that Al is, he told Tipper about it.

Tipper figured out that they had been leading separate lives for years, and the only thing at stake is money, so they split the money and were done. More class than I thought she had, bravo for her.

It’s not too bad, it’s not too sad. I have long thought poorly of them both, and anyone who thinks well of Tipper has clearly fallen prey to her media image. That image is all most of us know. But anyone who has stuck with alGore for 40 years is categorically less than virtuous. An dependent enabler, perhaps, but not innocent and not virtuous.
But that most posters profess no interest, nada, in knowing more about their private lives strikes me as odd. All autopsies have informational value, even marital autopsies.

“So perhaps he’s grown to be such a condescending egotist, so puffed up with his own great worth, that Tipper just can’t take it any more.”

That sums up my working theory.

I think his head has swelled so much that there is not enough room in their home, even if it’s a mansion, for it and anything else. She probably wanted to grow old with a real human being, and not this puffed up piece of puffery. Is that redundant?

The asset theory is interesting, though. But if Tipper Gore is as nice as people say, the asset theory seems a tad too Machievellian, because she would have to be a knowing participant.
