Wasn't she the one that preached family values and against violence in movies and video games?

Yep, and she was forced by her husband to shut her trap when he ran for and became VP.
-
I hope she takes up her mantle of media decency after 20 years of having her husband force her to keep quiet.
-
40 years ... Well, she always did seem a little slow to me.

I wonder what the breaking point was? His insistance on using composting toilets in the mansion...or her discovery of Manbearpig's Twisted Sister albums?

I just love that Dee Snider called her on that!

I still have my Twisted Sister albums. Dee Snyder rawks. :p

Yes he does! you gotta love someone who lived thru all that rock n roll life!!! :-)

My thinking is Mary "Tipper" Gore has finally accepted reality. She will never be First Lady of the United States of America. With that dream gone, why stay with Al Gore (one bloated piece of deadwood)?
-
Meanwhile Al Gore was spotted at his new job..<P>

When I lived in CT, Dee Snyder had a local morning radio show. It was talk, and I think he did a great job. His competition was Howard Stern. He didn't do a Howard wannabe schtick though, it was thoroughly decent. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

You need to practice with the Path Select tool. Zooming in to about 200% makes it easier to use :rofl:
-
My guess is he'd been running around on her for years. Wouldn't surprise me if the marriage had been a facade for a long time.

um it was PAINT, jeesh.
That white stuff is bioluminecent algea... yeah, thats the ticket

No global warming going in the bedroom.... :evillaugh:
-
I hear Gore's new crusade will be against carbon monoxide, CO, 'cos, you know, he's done with C02 now, because he's just 1 now, you see...ah...

I think it is sad that anyone who was married for that long of a time can't work it out. 40 years is a long marriage. Why not stick it out until the end? I just hate that marriage is usually not forever anymore. I know lots of times it can't be helped, but 40 years together through some tough times, I'd like to see them work it out. Maybe it was too far gone.

Worked with a union druid who thought Tipper was hot. Of course he also thought Algore was brilliant. :rotfF Then one day I showed him a comparison of Albore and GW's grades. I thought he was going to cry. Albore made GW look like a rocket surgeon or is that brain scientist? I forget. :hammer:

She made "Married with Children" a hit.

Well Ol Billy Boy called and said he had an open position for her if she would get on her knees and beg.

Global Cooling did it for them. :lmao:

That is my all time favorite show, crude humor and all. :rotf:

I thought the same thing.
After 40 years....to separate....it's either been a sham for a long time and he's decided he's made enough money and wants something younger.
Or she'd decided he's made enough money....of which she will get half....that she doesn't have to stick it out anymore and wants out so that she can go on and do what she wants with the rest of her life.
-
Maybe it's both.
-
She is sure to get one bad ass book deal.
About their (in)famous kiss: The only kiss I've ever seen more obviously scripted than the one between Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley.

What if she writes a tell all book exposing his scam. :lmao:

Doubtful....
There is a lot of money involved. And children and grandchildren.
Chances are....her divorce settlement(if she's getting more than half of all those deeeelicious millions) will be contingent on not mentioning a whole bunch of stuff in a "tell-all book".
She's entitled to at least half - if they get divorced in TN - of everything he's made and acquired the last 40 years. Maybe even more, due to length of marriage, and her age. I'm sure there wasn't a pre-nup....they've been together since high school.

I wonder about the newest mansion. Was it a present to get her to leave?

It's in California. Maybe it's his new place.
She's always struck me as a home, hearth, family person.....the "family" home is here in TN, but she's from Virginia and I don't know how much time they have ever really spent here. Just enough to qualify as a candidate from TN I guess....

He's nothing more than a carpetbagger. obama is more of a Tennessean than Gore is and obama is at zero.

I've only been here since '83, but have always wondered how Gore was elected here. I know very few people who like him, and they are Democrats.... :uhsure:

The usual... campaign as a conservative, govern as a liberal. Gore used to be relatively conservative when he started in the Senate. That didn't last long.

The south use to be a democrat stronghold. That flipped in the late 70's, early 80's.
I wonder if Wallace had anything to do with that?

I am not suprised I am just suprised it took them so long
