She finally discovered he was a total bore?

I wonder if Al couldn’t keep it in a ” Lock Box” .

Well, that sucks. I am no fan of Gore-s (Al for being a hypocrite… and Tipper for trying to ban music), but that sucks for them.

I guess the climate changed in the Gore house.

Maybe John Edwards was just covering for Al…and Rielle Hunter is Gore’s baby momma.

Thanks, INB.

I don’t find anything funny about the break-up of a marriage, particularly one of this duration.

I wish both the Gores the very best.

Now if the Palins announced a break-up, WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO, let the joking begin!

Meanwhile, I’m going to try to find some humor on the Koppel thread..

Too much hot air.

To my shame, I have to say you’re probably correct. As usual.

Will she get a percentage of his carbon credits in the divorce settlement?

What about his invention the ” internet “. That’s gotta be worth something .

Al, you can’t get a divorce- it will harm the environment:

A novel study that links divorce with the environment shows a global trend of soaring divorce rates has created more households with fewer people, has taken up more space and has gobbled up more energy and water. The findings of Jianguo “Jack” Liu and Eunice Yu at Michigan State University are published in this week’s online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

When they calculated the cost in terms of increased utilities and unused housing space per capita, they discovered that divorce tosses out economy of scale. Among the findings:

* In the United States alone in 2005, divorced households used 73 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity and 627 billion gallons of water that could have been saved had household size remained the same as that of married households. Thirty-eight million extra rooms were needed with associated costs for heating and lighting.
* In the United States and 11 other countries such as Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Greece, Mexico and South Africa between 1998 and 2002, if divorced households had combined to have the same average household size as married households, there could have been 7.4 million fewer households in these countries.
* The numbers of divorced households in these countries ranged from 40,000 in Costa Rica to almost 16 million in the United States around 2000.
* The number of rooms per person in divorced households was 33 percent to 95 percent greater than in married households.

So what you’re saying is that if the Palin’s split… you’d be making jokes, unlike your somber attitude for Gore?

I hope she has copies of all the Global Warming Hoax documents

Come on Tipper – expose Al Gore now!!!!

Oh and F Obama and all his Commie supporters

Of course the King would be making jokes about Palin. If you’re on the left, you get his sympathy. If you’re conservative, no amount of smarmy insults is too great. I think the King learned that in that church he’s always saying he attends.

Yep.

A leap forward! The King admits to his biased hatred. Keep going, King. Admit your hatred for the (White) race, and your elitist snobbery, and your arrogance, and your lies about your world travels, and all the rest of it. You keep this up, and the attendants will give you an extra hour of TV a night.

Indeed, it takes a very big man to admit, more or less in public, that he has a shortcoming. My profound dislike of the Drop Out Governor of Alaska has an irrational quality to it at times, and I certainly lack your oft self-proclaimed perfection. I envy you that, but then you have nothing to learn. I wouldn’t like that.

Like Fredo in The Godfather, the King must keep stressing that he is smart and able to do things.

It’s not easy to write something like, “I’m a hypocritical hack, and have no intention of changing or working on it… I just want you to ignore that.”

Bravo King! Thanks for admitting what we already knew. You do recognize, of course, that doesn’t make it any more acceptable, or somehow less contempt worthy?

Wow, after 40 years. That is sad. And they just had their anniversary. I wonder why now, after all those years. Sorry to see such a long marriage break up.

Al’s insane claim to have invented the Internet was bad enough, but Tiipper probably couldn’t stand the latest LIE of “Global Warming”, especially when his actions (buying a new house with 9 bathrooms) proved even he didn’t believe it.

“Al’s insane claim to have invented the Internet”

From: http://mediamatters.org/research/200912160010;

“Gore never said he ‘invented the Internet’

“Gore said he “took the initiative in creating the Internet” while in Congress. During the March 9, 1999, interview on CNN’s Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer that gave rise to the myth, Gore said, “During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.” Wolf Blitzer set the record straight on the July 6, 2008, edition of CNN’s Reliable Sources, stating that Gore “never said, ‘I invented the Internet.’

“Gingrich also said Gore “most systematically worked to make sure that we got to an Internet.’

” In a September 22, 2000, article, the Los Angeles Times reported: “Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House and a Republican who is no friend of the Gore campaign, said earlier this month, ‘Gore is the person who, in the Congress, most systematically worked to make sure that we got to an Internet.’ ”

From: http://mediamatters.org/research/200703010008;

“Reports on criticism of Gore omitted steps he reportedly took to reduce ‘carbon footprint’

“Coverage by several media outlets of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research’s (TCPR) criticism of former Vice President Al Gore’s home energy bills omitted some or all of the steps that Gore has reportedly taken to reduce the effect of his home energy usage. These steps were reported by MSNBC host Keith Olbermann, CNN financial correspondent Ali Velshi, and a February 27 article in The Tennessean of Nashville. On the February 27 edition of MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Olbermann said that TCPR’s criticism “omits” that Gore’s home includes “home offices for himself and his wife, as well as a guest house and special security measures,” and that the Gores’ use of “renewable sources” from the “Green Power Switch” program “actually costs more for the Gores.” Olbermann further reported that, according to Green Power Switch, “some smaller homes consume energy in the same range of usage as does the one on the Gores’ property.” On the February 27 edition of CNN’s American Morning, Velshi also noted that Gore’s purchase of “green power” increased Gore’s utility costs. . . . ”

Both articles provide numerous links to original sources. You embarrass yourself by perpetuating misinformation.

The dissolution of any marriage is unfortunate. Presumably, the Gores will part amicably.

It’s hard not to be reminded of the case of Gov. Mark “Appalachian Tail” Sandford. I felt badly for his wife, who showed a helluva lot more class than HE did. She didn’t deserve to suffer from his very public hypocrisy.

Cry me a river, you fking asshole!

Despite my dislike of his politics, I can’t find any joy or humor in this one…

The two-faced piousness is genetic in the gore clan. Al the senior used to say that the ignorant bastards who voted for him didn’t know what they needed but elected him to show them what was best for them. Al the junior wants to tell us how “we the hustings” must live our lives but he, on the other hand, deserves to live his opulent lifestyle–some time ago, I read an article based on public records that the utility bills for each one of his nine homes was more per month than the average household of four paid for an entire year! (Seems there was also an analysis of former president George W Bush’s home that was as “green” as they come.) Similarly, Al the junior flits about the globe in chartered luxury 737s and owns a fleet of SUVs of the gas guzzling variety. Oh, and save the planet from the evils of industry? Al the junior owns a tungsten mine near Lebanon, TN that is the most polluting mine in the United States!

Did Tipper split the blanket over an “Edwardsism?” I doubt it because he has the personality of a maggot. (I became acquainted with the jerk back when he was at Vandy–the only thing he excelled at was smoking the best weed on campus. I think Tipper simply got enough of his two-faced show that is designed for one and only one thing: enrich Al the junior.

They dug his old man’s grave with a corkscrew–when Al sheds his earthly coil, they’ll have to find a bigger corkscrew as he is even a bigger crook than was his old man.

Now that Al has that swingin’ pad on the west coast, he doesn’t need any hag puttin’ on the drag.

You may be right puck30, I would imagine that Al is still pretty good at thinking with his loins.

@jrcmi:

You’re right! “Gore never said he ‘invented the Internet’

“Gore said he “took the initiative in creating the Internet” , as in, Gore said, “During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.”

So what Gore really said/meant/allowed-what-he-said-to-be-interpreted-as is: "I took the initiative in inventing the internet."

And that is what what most people, including the MSM at the time, understood it to mean. And Al Gore did nothing, ie., zippo, to discourage that view, until he realised that it was working against him in his bid for the presidency, and then he changed his tune.

Splitting hairs over what he said and what he actually meant and took credit for (until it worked against him) makes about as much sense as getting Clinton to admit what the word "is" really means.

This is a dead horse, dude. It has been debated to death years ago. And although you are technically correct in your exact quote of his words, you are dead wrong in what he said.

As far as their divorce is concerned, I hope she takes his lyin’ hide to the cleaners and takes him for all he’s worth. And I can swear to a 100% consensus on that.

So Gingrich is a liar, too?

JohnSimpleton: Did you steal that profound line by yourself or did someone steal it for you?

I love how Als numbers went up on Mediaite since he got rid of the dead weight…
