Here I thought it was because he is full of "Hot Air" and has little "substance". Then again that could explain why she "hacked" the emails in the first place.

Give it two weeks and The National Inquirer will run a story (that the mainstream media convienently overlooked) showing Al has a Tiger Woods baseball card collection of bimbos he picked up on his Save the World Tour.

I think Tipper sees the end of global warming hysteria coming and wants to sell all the carbon credit type stocks they own. His Goreliness wants, of course, to keep them counting on cap'n'tax and a friendly media to keep them flying high. Tipper has decided to cash out. Sorry Tipper and Al, it's always sad to see a marriage crack up. With that said, I knew her when I was a child. She was gorgeous, sweet and generous. Why'd she settle for Al?

It is a dodge to divide their homes and funds and shield as much as possible through a bogus settlement from the upcoming Securities trials for selling fraudulant carbon credits.

I think it is clear that even Tipper cannot tolerate Al's weird obsession with AGW and his disconnect from reality.

Also, the way he keeps calling her "Angela" by mistake is getting old!

:-)

Sad . . after 40 years of marriage it is sad to see even leftists break their vows. To love her husband, a wife must believe in his integrity, honesty, and virtue. Did Tipper finally come to grips with the fact that her husband is a fraud? Did she lose all respect for him? Love dies slowly, but once dead, it cannot be resurrected. I'm sorry for her - and Gore, too, for his wasted, corrupted life. Created in God's image, but distorted by greed and pride, he is an empty shell. Does Tipper believe she wasted 40 years of her life? Yes, it is sad. I feel no joy in this failed marriage. May God help us to value our own vows ever more deeply.

She became an inconvenient sidekick. Everything this guy ever did or say was measured by how far he use it, Did you notice his wedding pictures in the press. He was married in a full military uniform. Wasn't he a photographer who NEVER saw battle?

Simple. Tipper said "AL, you're too goddam fat, I'm outta here".

It really wasn't Monica; it was Tipper!!!!!!!!!!!

He's gay! Neither of them was enjoying that kiss.

I kinda have to go with her finally being unable to stomach the dull, boring charlatan she mistakenly married.

I agree that it is a sad day for our country. Many people may not recognize the sadness of this but it is there. In our disposable society where even people are disposable through divorce, it is powerful to see a marriage like the one that Al and Tipper modeled. Unfortunately, something got in the way and they couldn't... no, wouldn't make it work. Someone remarked that love once dead can not be resurrected. I don't believe that. You have to make sacrifices but it is possible to resurrect. Jesus said, "What God has joined, let no one put asunder." Divorce is always a travesty that should never happen and was never meant to be a part of God's Plan.

What's truly amazing is that she lasted that long. In the tradition of a good Southern girl sticking it out for the sake of the children, she hung in there with a show of endurance that ranks in the legendary. What's even more amazing is that Al didn't wake up the morning after the wedding night with a butcher knife sticking up out of this chest.

I think an upset constituent secretly emailed Tipper letting her know that Al's real last name is BORE. He changed it when he entered politics. She never knew. She is also a blonde!

I agree with Sharon, she sees the climate change scam getting shakey & she's opting out.

Like everything else that goes wrong, it was caused by Climate Change. The "climate" of their relationship cooled-BIG TIME!

Where's the mystery? By leaving Al Tipper receives half of one-hundred million dollars. Who wouldn't leave Al in the dust for 50 mil?

Sharon, Andy and Tropical Mike have it right. It's a scheme for them to keep their ill-gotten loot. BTW: where do you think the loot came from ? It's as if everyone in the country sent them a quarter.

Of Bill, Hillary, Al, only Tipper seemed somewhat normal. I suspect she knows her conscience deprived husband has been engaging in criminal behaviors over the past 10 years. Nevertheless, she'll probably hold out her hand for half of the 100 million.

Who would know better what a complete schmuck Algore is, and now she will have a new beach house to retire to!!!

This is a terrible, terrible tragedy. A tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, no doubt about it. Al and Tipper Gore are calling it quits after about 40 years or so and after that silly, sloppy, inappropriate ugly kiss on the stage of the Democratic Convention a few years back. Beyond that neither they, nor the press, are saying much right now (we’ll have to wait for both their books, I guess, which should make them what another $10 mill?). Yet, I have it on good authority that the split has all to do with … are you ready … carbon footprints! Turns out little Tipper has grown to much larger proportions and, hence, her methane emissions have grown right along as well. Al just could no longer live with that because he’s already paying a bundle (to himself) to offset the carbon coming from all those huge mansions. But, Tipper told him, “Al! All that CO2 you emit during those long and terribly boring speeches (for which you get paid all those millions) surely surpasses any, uh, flatulence I might be responsible for!”

So. It all comes down to “irreconcilable differences” over which of them is polluting the atmosphere more than the other. Oh, if old William were still around could he have a time with this one!

Mike Reece

Who cares?

Raymond has it right, WHO CARES. I am much much, much more concerned with the communists and RINO's destroying our country.

Tipper fianlly found out that Al really didn't invent the internet.

I think Tipper finally figured out that Al manufactured and orchestrated the whole global warming lie and booted his sorry butt to the curb.

I think it got so hot in that $9 million mansion they recently procured that he took off all his clothes to cool off (that pesky global warming, you know). That sight is enough to make any woman run screaming to a divorce lawyer proclaiming "get me out of here!!"

Face it - he is just down right boring.

It is because there is no sex anymore. Everytime Tipper gets hot Al (who thought she was contributing to globval warming)would cool her off with a bucket of cold water.

Surely she has some secrets. She could really serve our country well by exposing Al Gore for what he really is. She would make a load of money as well.

I think Tipper has been staying up late at night reading Drudge and watching Fox News and has come to the conclusion that "climate change" is a fraud. Algore was apparently so hurt that they're going to split.

I think Tipper finally saw the handwriting on the wall concerning global warming and tried to convince Al to stop lying to the people. When he refused, she concluded that he was just a bald faced liar and like most politicians, had been lying to her about his faithfullness to their marriage. She should have thought it through, who in their right mind would make love to that pompous, greedy ass?

Andy, Raymond, and Howard Last,

I believe you, gentlemen, probably have the right perspective on this "separation".

"Protection of the financial kingdom" that "THEY" have accrued, will be of utmost importance to "THEM", who cares what they have come to, after they have "aided and abetted the enemies" of this Beloved Country for years.

God Save America

For God & Country

The American

Apparently Tipper retains a shred of sanity.

May this story pass quickly and spare us the image, repeated endlessly, of that pathetic, phonie kiss. Shame on her that she didn't leave him the next day!

Love it when the Devil gets what is coming to him. When a man lie's through his teeth to so many even the wife can't take it anymore. Give her the Nobel Peace Prize this year for sticking it as long as she did. She deserves all the money in the bank and his house. cut off his nose, fingers, toes and legs one joint at a time. I think he is the biggest crook sense Capone, Baby Face, and yes don't forget the Queen of lies, Hillary Clinton.

Two reasons: Al emits too much carbon (especially when he wakes up in the morning) and Tipper just can't handle it anymore. But the last straw was when she asked him if her carbon footprint made her @$$ look fat, and he said it did.

Not all that surprising. I remember a newspaper columnist (not conservative) commenting on how "for-show" and bogus the Gore's infamous kiss was. They contrasted it with a very sincere, simple, and not-at-all-for-show one that G.W.Bush was seen on camera giving his wife around the same file.

Tipper realized that Al is full of hot air on the gloBULL warming issue.

In spite of the fact that I'm all for morality and decency, I can't muster any sympathy at all for this thief and fraud. During a campaign, he even had to hire a wardrobe person to advise him on what clothes to wear in order to make him appear more appealing to women. He was a fake from the git-go. I hope Tipper takes him for all he has. On reflection, though, had this guy defeated George W., we wouldn't be putting up with what we have now, and by now we'd be well on our way to recovery from Algore's antics.

Tipper has had enough. It didn't matter which part she chose, for 40 years she's been kissing an a hole.

C'mon, it was all about the thermostat.

"Al, you travel all over the world preaching about conserving energy and saving the planet, but you keep the dadgum thermostat at 68 at your own home, and I'm FREEZING!"

Something had to give.

Tipper is, presumably, a normal human woman, so how she was able to stand Al for forty years is a mystery. It's probably only the fact that he's spent so much time on the road lately that has kept them together this long. But I suspected something was up when they bought that place in California. "I can't stand to live with you anymore, Al -- I need to get as far away from you as possible."

Besides, in California she'll have a good place to write clean lyrics to all those rock songs she used to complain about.

In just looking at "The Kiss", I feel as though I've been slimed.

A caption for the cartoon of air farce one with oblahma reading the instruction manual should read "The Ill Eagle has landed" or "the illegal has landed" whichever suits your fancy ;)

I think Tipper just got fed up with his never-ending affair with his ego.

This could be used in court as evidence of spousal abuse. I wonder if he's a closet commando because the forcefulness of this act reminds me of a line from one of Shakespeare's plays.

Took her a long time to figure out she has married the number one con man of the 21st century. P. T. Barnum would have been proud of Gore and his ability to make money out of something that isn't true.

ewwww. This is nothing more than Al Gore pretending to be someone he definitely ISN'T.

Another example of the massive fraud that he is

Holy jeeez.....I think he's trying to eat her !!!!!

Usually, when a couple says that they "grew apart", the real meaning is that somewhere there is a 3rd party involoved that effected the stability of the relationship. It could be another man, meaning Tipper digressed from the staight and narrow - it could simply be that Al's ego left no room in the relationship. The nightmare would be that the 3rd person would mean Mr. Gore straying from the marriage.

I must have been those fish lips he laid on her! YUCK!

Possible caption for the photo:

Dang it Tipper I'm getting my gum back if I have to go in after it.

Any woman who has ever been kissed by someone who actually cares about them would have been seriously repulsed by that attempt at affection. How and why she stayed so long could be any of the aforementioned reasons. I wouldn't put any of them out of the realm of probability.

I suspect tipper caught him kissing the mirror the same way he kissed her here.

Maybe that's why Al thought there was global warming when, in reality - Tipper knew there was gonna be major global cooling!

She appears to be trying mightily to rebuff him! Either that of she is choking on his eco-tongue!

Wow,liberals have big lips to suck the life out of freedoms. big Al, the socialist pal. oh well, perhaps another award or trophy from the willing media will help his ego. What a POS, go back and clean your old slave cells you bragged about.

At first glance, my thought was, "is that Tipper or is that Hillary"??

During that...ughh...kiss, he was depositing alien robot spores in her so she would play along. They've finally worn off and she has returned to reality. Somewhat like waking up after the drunken frat party, but without the fun!

Just wait until you find out who Mr. Gore really loves...it may be a surprise to many

Wonder if her shoes were nailed to the floor? NOW...look at the pic, note his thumb hooked into the sleeve of her jacket. There is definate pressure showing on top of her arm above his thumb as tho she's trying to get loose..??

She certainly does not appear to be embracing the moment.

Notice where Tipper's hand is. NOT hugging him...but perhaps pushing him AWAY!

While it's always a shame to see a marriage go south, I'm only surprised she lasted this long married to the lying, cheating slug. Al's lucky he didn't marry into MY family. We don't divorce, we hide the body.

Ugh!!! So this is why the teenagers a few years back called it "sucking face". Not!!!

My "Gaydar" says finally they are admitting that the charade is over......I thought the kiss when I saw it was way over the top...now who does that unless they are trying to prove something.

You go Tipper.....have a life...finally....money isn't everything...hope you get the new Mansion in Montecito.....

I've seen a kiss like this before. It was in "The Godfather". Al is thinking, "Now, go sleep with the fishes"...

AUGGGHHH!!! I had only recently quit having this nightmare---now it's baaack!! Pardon me I must go emesize....

OMG!!! I've got a "Plecostimus" in my fish tank looks JUST like those passionate "LIVERLIPS" (fish owners will understand)

I have always believed that God has a sense of great humor....now I know it's true!

Don't forget that, when Al & Tipper were prominent on the national scene, making the TV rounds, Tipper did some outlandish things, such as riding a motorcycle onto the stage. She appeared to "crave" attention, like a love-starved teenager. I doubt that she got any attention from the wooden stick man.

Tipper reducing Carbon dioxide from hot air source.

Hold it in girl and thanks for saving our planet.

Washington alien mind meld.

Oh that Al! Making sure no CO2 escapes Tipper's lungs that could kill us all. He inspires me.

Auditioning for the re-remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Is it just me, or is Al trying to pick her pockets with his right hand...... or maybe he's just trying to "cop a quick feel".....Might be the closest he's gotten to his wife since he invented the internet.

All kidding aside, my personal belief is that Tipper just couldn't live with the lie of Global Warming anymore.

Accordingly, she'll just take the new $9 Million Beach House, a hefty Monthly Alimony and "bid the mob a good-day". I mean, there have to be SOME benefits associated with living the lie-fe as the wife of a failed Senator / Presidential Candidate.....turned Damned Near Billionair on the fears generated by this hoax - -

Terrible waste of our tax dollars....

Tipper looks like she is resisting - and trying to get away. Don't blame her. Pretty ugly. Didn't inspire me then and really really disgusts me now.

Two kisses I never want to have to watch again. Both so fake and scary that any picture negative or film of them should be destroyed. Both done for popular gain. Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley and Al and Tipper Gore. Please never post these again LOL

Mr. Cardboardman is losing his security tape, staples and even his glue!

This kiss has always looked like a typical, macho, "me-Tarzan-you-Jane" power trip to me.

She obvious didn't want him kissing her here. The kiss looks forced onto her.

He needs someone else to keep the lights on when "nobody's" home!!

It would appear the Hoover Vacuum CO. needs Al as a celebrity endorser

"If everyone breathed only into each other we could reduce our carbon footprint and save our planet, Honey!"

What's the problem here? I've been attracted to Hillary for years now & here you guys are trying to ruin it!Please tell me this was a stand in for Hillary!!

This is the 3rd time I've tried to post - the first 2 times the "up-chuck" on the keyboard fought with me....BTW, almost had a "bladder leak" over Michael Reese's posting - Great!

ALl GlORE, inventor of the internet, once VPotUS, recepient of the Nobel, and full of flatulent methane credits.

Looks like an Assault to me.
