Star magazine reports that Al is [dallying with](http://www.starmagazine.com/al_gore_laurie_david_affair/news/16986) the ex-wife of Larry David (Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm). ---

I had assumed there was some infidelity going on with either Al or Tipper (or both) as it seems that is very often the case with long term marriages breaking up so late in the game, (of course, not always) but is Star Magazine of any credibility in a case like this? ## I know the Enquirer has broken a few legit. stories of a similar nature, but is Star a source that anyone could put any stock in? I hate to say it, but it seems like the Gore family has more than their fair share of family issues, several DUI’s, drug arrests and 3 of the 4 children ending up divorced—I voted for Al Gore every time I had the opportunity, but it looks to me like he and Tipper were lacking something in the parenting department… (and for all who think that I have no business blaming Al and Tipper for their adult childrens failures and struggles, you may well be right, but when 3 of your 4 kids end up with drug or alcohol problems and/or multiple failed marriages, I think it’s fair to conclude that Al and Tipper dropped the ball in the parenting dept. to some degree) ---

Just saw where a massage therapist in Portland is claiming that Al Gore sexually assaulted her during a massage in his Portland OR. hotel room back in Oct. 2006. She told the Portland cops that she was going to pursue it civilly not criminally (I assume she wanted to parlay this into a huge payday) and that she has a pair of pants that Al Gore spunked all over as proof of her claims… ---

So what’s with these pants showing up now? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/al-tipper-gore-separating/541518.md?page=3)
