Whatever client event transpired, the masseuse billed the hotel her normal rate and later, months later, in fact, filed a police complaint, a document which this week the Portland police department confirmed to the The National Enquirer they have. Police declined to bring charges, citing insufficient evidence. Apparently, the unnamed redhead (all we know about her is the color of her hair) would have gone public but the Enquirer refused to pay her and her lawyer $1 million. The fortress of tabloid journalism doesn't say what, or if, it paid for the police report.Who cares - Gore is history may he RIP.

I'm not impressed.. but then with him, I never was. Therefore, I'm completely fine with him being relegated to the joke heap of history!

Something with the Democratic Pres/VP gig-AKA John Edwards, Pres. Clinton
Al Gore could clear all of this up by taking a polygraph test. I'm
sure he would want to for Tipper if he is truly innocent. I'm sure
the Portland police covered this up for Gore.
Eleanor thanks for a thoughtful and balanced article on the former Vice President. It's difficult to accomplish both a presentation of the alleged story while not seeking to excuse the narrative itself--yet you did it. Your question as to how Tipper fits into this matter is most incisive, because in one form or another she is a component of this story conscious or subliminal. As always you challenge our thoughts and analytical skills. Great article. We will stay tuned for your additional thoughts. Best from a Republican in the heartland.

Eleanor, Gore is NOT a joke again!! He never stopped being a joke. A big global warming hoax of a joke.

It seems to me that Gore has been doing his best to make himself a parody of the global Saviour since the publication of Earth in the Balance (1992), with a brief time-out for the Vice President/Presidential candidate thing. With the recent collapse of his life's work (the Global Warming juggernaut), you think that a hotel massage is the proximate cause for his fall from respectabilty?
Are you serious!
Who would believe a sensational story like this in a rag like the National Enquirer, versus the word of a Nobel Peace Prize winner and near-president like Al Gore? As with John Edwards, the respectable media aren't carrying this story, so we know it can't be true.

Now, do those two together quantify him to being an honest person? I think a vast MAJORITY of AMERICANS would say the answer is a resounding "NO!" With that being said, Yasser Arafat was also a Nobel winner who, while negotiating with the Israeli's for peace in the middle east was complicit in the shipping of arms into the Gaza Strip. Now, again, your point was? The Nobel Peace prize is nothing more than a trophy presented by a bunch of bleeding heart appeasers. Sorry, I don't buy your line of thinking.
