[Story here.](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37450410/ns/politics-more_politics/) Wow, they’d been married for 40 years and always seemed like a very happy couple in public. Maybe he got tired of her slapping Parental Warning stickers on everything… ---

Ironically, I hear she’s now hooked up with Tommy Lee. ---

Tipper? I don’t even know her. 😉 ETA: I hear Tommy has a much larger carbon footprint. ---

I’m stunned. I thought they’d be together forever. ---

She saw what people really use the internet for - and blame him. Oh, and she’s tired of him claiming he invented the orgasm when he can’t even find her G-spot (G stands for Gore - right??) ---

There’s got to be a younger woman in this. Only question is, is she involved with Al or with Tipper? ---

> [@cmkeller](#): > > I can’t believe it - they were the inspiration for “Love Story”!! Maybe you _do_ have to say you’re sorry. I was surprised to read in a memoir by a secret service man that Gore is obnoxious in person. I don’t know why this surprised me, but it did. They seemed to like Tipper. ---

Tipper Gore played drums and sang back up on Diva Zappa’s album? Tipper Gore? That twists my little brain around. ---

I don’t know why this surprised me, but it did. They seemed to like Tipper. Is that the book where Al was yelling at his son about his grades in front of some secret service guys, and told his son that if he didn’t straighten things out school-wise, he’d wind up “like these guys”, meaning the secret service guys? Like they were night watchmen or something? ---

I understand that the rumors are that Al has been spending a lot of time with a brilliant, eloquent woman who is looking into the whole “cattle mutes” crisis… An Inconvenient Mute. ---

Rumors are that Al has been romantically linked with Monica Lewinsky. Bill Clinton commented that might be the only thing Al could follow him on. ---

Wow. I really hope that isn’t true, but if it is, even she deserves better. Her reputation around here was of a passively controlling adn demanding woman. Add salt though, I’ve never met her. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/al-tipper-gore-separating/541518.md?page=2)
