Al and Tipper Gore to Separate

By Doug Powers  •  June 1, 2010 01:54 PM

**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers

Maybe even Tipper’s finally had enough of his hot air:

Al and Tipper Gore, whose playful romance enlivened Washington and the campaign trail for a quarter century, have decided to separate after 40 years of marriage, the couple told friends Tuesday.

In an “Email from Al and Tipper Gore,” the couple said: “We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate.

“This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further.”

Rest assured, somehow, some way, Al will find a way to blame this on global warming. I know the eco-dupes will, because divorce & separation contributes to global warming. As if anybody needed yet another reason to call Al a hypocrite.

No wonder his UT commencement speech was so doom and gloom — Al knew he was about to have to compromise his lifestyle by possibly confining himself to only four and a half of the nine bathrooms in their new mansion.

Attorneys for Al Gore say that the former vice president intends to fight for custody of the snake oil.

    Also, divorce or not, I’m not ready to forgive Tipper. As far as I can tell, she turned a blind eye to nasty/violent gangsta rap music when hubby became a Clinton VP candidate. Before that she said she wanted to clean up the recording industry. She could have done some good.

    Tipper finally looked into manbearpig’s black eyes and saw the evil there. It took her long enough!! But I guess love is blind and she finally realized she didn’t love him and saw the truth. Just as I have no sympathy for Elizabeth Edwards, I have no sympathy for Tipper. They both knew they were sleeping with the devil and were aiding and abetting.

    Don’t forget how much money both Gores made, and are still making, from the fraudulent global warming scam. They may be at the height of their earnings as the fraud police are starting to make inquiries. They may be getting out while the getting is good.

    These guys invested in alternative energy companies and then used their political power to maximize the investment in those companies. That additional investment kept the companies afloat because their products never worked well and the companies never would have survived , much less make a profit. Thats the definition of a Ponzi scheme. No viable product and the company propped up by new investors. Now when the Gores sell their shares to settle the “divorce”, they can get their money and run. The latest investors will be the ones holding the “empty” bag.

    I don’t trust either one of these two.

    Swede: Gays do care about the environment, and Al is the face of the environmental movement, so I am sure putting him in a spread in Playgirl, which as everyone knows has a high gay-male readership, would go over well.

    Secondly, Al would have to go full frontal nudity because a) he is against unnecessary packaging – i.e. no underwear and b) if he showed his backside, the amount of carbon gas that could escape into the ozone would surpass even the most efficient commercial dairy farms.

    I would like to take this moment to apologize to you all. Since the media has been at my front door all day; it’s time I come clean. I wanted you guys to hear my confession first.

    For the past two years AlGore’s wife, Tipper, and I have been having an affair. I’m sorry to have to bring this up; but I think it’s time I told the truth. This has been a very difficult time for my family, including my dogs, and my wife has decided to forgive me; however, I still feel the need to confess the errors of my ways.

    I understand that many of you will be disappointed with my actions; please understand, I have consulted with the finest and highest religious leaders I know, including Glenn Beck. I just want to atone for my digressions and move on with my life and I hope the Gores will do the same.

    I was wrong; I shouldn’t have done it, and I promise that it will never happen again. As far as my relationship with the Gore family, I never really liked Al much, but I always thought Tipper was one hot cougar. But, frankly, she has aged a bit since we first met. I also didn’t know about the hidden camera Al kept in the bedroom over the mirror; why he did that, I never know.

    Anyway, I just wanted to clear the air, move on and start a new life. Please forgive me. Oh, I have to run; I just got a text from Michelle; the limo is outside and the Secret Service says I have to go now.
