Former Vice President Al Gore, the 2000 Democratic presidential nominee, is separating from his wife Tipper after 40 years of marriage.
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.

Even good ol' Tipper got tired of the tree-hugging blowhard.

I busted out laughing when I heard this!! Sorry Al, but this is friggin' funny!! Maybe now Al can listen to his old Iron Maiden albums again, without her screaming about the lyrics!! And maybe Tipper can stop pretending to be into the environment and Global Warming crap, you know she was never into that stuff. This is so funny!!

It was AL Gore's love affair with himself that got in the way. Now the Tipster can crank up the AC to help with her hot flashes without Al tsk tsking her.

Eric: Check out this picture I just stumbled upon today (above link), I liked it so much, that I printed it out, and hung it up in my office. Global Warming sucks, for this Bear!! But not for Tipper anymore, she'll just turn up the damn A/C from now on. I'm still laughing that they're getting divorced!! After 40 years being married? She must really hate his guts, to leave him now!!

Ewwwww!

Looks like he's sitting on Al Gore's head LOL. All I can say is "severe shrinkage". My daughter wanted it for her room, so I printed it out, too. Thanks!

The climate must have changed between them.
alanstorm| 6.1.10 @ 1:35PM
Probably not enough room in all the houses for Tipper, Al and his ego to fit...

Forty years of marriage--I don't feel like laughing at them. I'm a little sad for them. That's a lot to lose and I hope they find a way to work through whatever problems they have.
sandyinohio| 6.1.10 @ 2:08PM
They said in one article there is no affair, they have simply grown apart. Is that a reason to divorce? Usually two people with 40 yrs of history and grandchildren to come find a way to enjoy some time together doing somethings apart and some together. Why divorce? I don't buy it.
Pete| 6.1.10 @ 2:27PM
There is no doubt that even as bloated and disingenuous as he is, countless brainwashed enviro-strumpets have thrown themselves at him. Given that he lies for a living, I have a hard time believing that he passed on all such opportunities.
SoCon| 6.1.10 @ 3:10PM
AlGore has Globaloney Warming groupies?
I'm going to be sick.
Margie| 6.1.10 @ 3:50PM
Yeah, really. Enviro-strumpets? Ugh.

So the chad no longer just hangs, it's limp as well? If that's the case, it would be illogical to blame (a) Bush, right? Then again, whenever Sarah Palin said "Drill, baby, drill" perhaps she was just flashing back to something other than oil? Soon we'll be needing an expert to connect all the dots, you know to 'splain things: how about Bubba Luccabrasi Clinton? He's very well-informed on this sort of issue.

Poor Al, lucky Trigger.
tonypal| 6.1.10 @ 5:43PM
In all honesty, in spite of 40 years of marriage and children, I've always believed that Algore is gay. Maybe that's the next shoe to drop. In any case, it's never a good day when a marriage ends. It happened to me and it's not easy to deal with, no matter how amicable the split.
Lullaby's, Legends and Lies| 6.1.10 @ 7:03PM
SoCon: I feel bad right now, because I feel so good about this story!! Am I wrong? Seriously, I just can't stop laughing at this, and now I feel bad again, but now I'm laughing again. Very wrong!!
SoCon| 6.1.10 @ 8:13PM
Gore's such a monumental fraud, I can only feel happy for Tipper. I've wondered for a long time how she could stay with the lying gasbag--I couldn't.
I'd like to think that maybe Tipper is finally listening to her conscience.
I know why you're laughing--Gore the bore does that to people. What a buffoon.
Go ahead and laugh; it's better than crying! After reading all the heartbreaking Memorial Day stories yesterday, laughter seems especially sweet right now.

"Mama always said, 'Life was like a lock-box.' You never know when your wife is going to leave you, after you've plunked down $9 million for an ocean front house, that is supposed to be underwater in 10 years."
- Forrest Gore
Run, Forrest, Run!
Remember when algore gained about 100 pounds, after losing his bid to steal the A.D. 2000 election, and grew a beard to give his media cronies something to talk about, other than him looking like Orson Wells, that is.
Good times. Good times.

Friends of the Gores quickly issued disclaimers that there was no affair, but that was far from the first thought to enter my head when I heard the news: rather, it seemed obvious that Al's insufferability had reached critical mass.
I can't imagine Al leaving Tipper. I have no problem imagining Tipper leaving Al.
