POLITICO Breaking News:

-----------------------------------------------------

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.”

The e-mail was obtained by POLITICO and confirmed by Kalee Kreider of the office of Al and Tipper Gore. Kreider said there would be no further comment.

Tipper Gore is a professional photographer who in 1996 published “Picture This, A Visual Diary,” which she called “a personal photographic representation of life as wife of the vice president.”

She often took pictures at campaign events and behind the scenes when her husband ran for president in 2000. In recent years, she often accompanied him on speaking and book-signing engagements as he continued his quest for action on "the climate crisis."

During Bill Clinton's presidency, the then-vice president and his wife donned costumes for an annual Halloween party that became a Washington tradition.

The Gores, who have four children and live in Tennessee, marked their 40th wedding anniversary two weeks ago.

The Gores both grew up in the Washington area. They met at a high-school graduation dance and were married at the National Cathedral on May 19, 1970, according to Tipper Gore’s White House biography.

Never saw that one coming. They "appeared" to be in love.

I guess the marriage-glue rotted-out (Al is ultra-ultra-rotten, and Tipper is also rotten--though maybe to lesser degree than Al)--enough said!

[Obama 2012 1,714]

the two political nuts were made for each other... damn shame here.

[IndigoSkies 168]

I cannot imagine why do aging old people who'd been married for 40 years want to seperate. This saddens me since you think people who made it that far are going to make it all the way.

Thats what I thought...guess we're wrong.

It's leading news because the other non-essenstial news are that Israel killed 10 activists and wounded many mores. And BP's still leaking oil. But those are non-essential news that we can all do without. Let's go back to sleep, sheeples, let's go back to sleep.

Well, it does look like she got him off a tip (Brit usage--slang for "landfill" or "rubbish-heap") anyway.

Seriously - could you be married to either of them?

[SuperDuper! 230]

Word has it, AG is trading in his ol' nag hag bag american wife, and getting together with a filipina cutie. If the rumor is true, this will be the first time I agree with Mr. "I invented the internet" on anything.

But his tired wife of 40 years will likely get the last laugh. Ol' al made a billion on the whole global warming hype, so more power to her for cashing out.

Pffft!

An inconvenient truth. Who will get the outdated gas guzzling private jet? Who gets the 10,000 square foot energy hog mansion? They will prbably sell it to a Republican. Who gets the tobacco farm income and government subsidies? I am so upset, isn't anything forever anymore? Not even AlGore?

Don't you just love a F*cktard that will tell you how YOU need to live and he can't even keep his household together? Bite me AlGore!

Just leave any poor innocent FSU chicks out of it.
