Al and Tipper Gore separate after 40 years
« on: June 01, 2010, 12:30:29 PM »
Former US Vice President Al Gore and his wife Tipper are separating after 40 years of marriage.

The 2000 Democratic presidential candidate and his wife cited "a mutual and mutually supportive decision", in an email to friends.

In an email to friends and supporters obtained by US news organisations, the couple said they had decided to separate after "long and careful consideration".

They asked for privacy and said they intended no further comment.

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

Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, are separating after 40 years of marriage. NBC News confirmed the split Tuesday.

According to an e-mail circulated among the couple's friends and 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.

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?

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)?

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.

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.

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:
