The Top Five Scandal, Divorce or Remorse Stories, From Abramoff to Sanford
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyPrison. Scandal. Adultery. Delusion. Death. Divorce. Remorse. And always, reinvention. It's been quite the year for denizens of the Republic of Dish, including a quintet of individuals or couples seemingly poised for next acts in 2011. Washington uber-lobbyist Jack Abramoff is writing a book about influence peddling, a subject he knows intimately. He left prison in June after serving 42 months for corruption and fraud, did another six months of work-release at a Kosher pizzeria in Baltimore, and is now on probation. Abramoff, who lives outside Washington, is not using a ghostwriter, a ...
Al and Tipper Gore: Quitters! I Salute You
By Donna Trussell - Politics DailySplitting after 40 years. Why? That's what everyone wants to know, including Politics Daily Editor in Chief Melinda Henneberger and a few of my Woman Up colleagues. Gotta say: Me too. But I'm just curious. Sort of. Really, isn't the reason predictable? As a friend observed: If you live long enough and meet enough people, eventually you'll meet someone you like better than your spouse. (Not to say there's a third party involved in this split. I'm just quotin' my old pal.) Like many others, I winced at the long kiss on the stage of the Democratic Convention in 2000, a rebuttal of sorts in the ...
Al and Tipper Gore's Love Story: We Thought You'd Never Part
By Melinda Henneberger - Politics DailyA decade ago, during one of a number of interviews with Al Gore for a biographical series I was writing for The New York Times, I mentioned to the vice president that I had interviewed his wife earlier that same day, and he lit up: "Isn't she cool?" Even his parents, he said, had a less formative influence on him than Tipper had in the years since they'd met at his high school prom. "It's clearly the most important relationship I've ever had with anyone, bar none," he told me that day. "Even at a young age, she helped me understand things I never would have been able to understand otherwise. ...
Marriage Expert on Gores' Split: 'You Never Can Tell'
By Andrea Stone - Politics DailyIf you thought the relationship between Al and Tipper Gore was everything that Bill and Hillary Clinton's was not -- and who didn't? -- then you just don't know much about marriage. Or so says one of the nation's top marriage experts. "You never can tell about a marriage from the outside," Stephanie Coontz, director of research at the Council on Contemporary Families, told AOL News. The author of "Marriage, A History: From Obedience to Intimacy, or How Love Conquered Marriage" said the Gores were "certainly less volatile than Bill and Hillary. But you just don't know if a marriage is ...
Al and Tipper Gore Split After 40 Years of Marriage
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyWho can forget the kiss, that deep smooch Al Gore shared with Tipper onstage at the Democratic National Convention after his nomination for the presidency ten years ago? And now, just weeks after their 40th wedding anniversary, what appeared to outsiders as a solid marriage and genuine partnership is dissolving. They told friends by e-mail on Tuesday: "This is a very mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration." The news was first reported by Politico. A close friend of the couple said neither of them is having an ...
Al and Tipper Gore's Breakup Makes Conservatives 'Sad'
By Carl Franzen - Politics DailyAs the shocking news of Al and Tipper Gore's separation circulates throughout the Web, commentators have responded with a variety of reactions -- with much of the genuine sympathy espoused so far, interestingly, coming from the right. A sampling: The Sincere and Heartfelt "All politics aside, this is simply sad news." -- Kathryn Jean Lopez, The Corner blog at the National Review Online "Sad news this morning...It's just another reminder of how little we really know about the people we 'know' based on media coverage of them." --Carol Platt Libeau, Townhall "Another sad sign today of ...
Al and Tipper Gore Announce Separation Via E-Mail: An Inconvenient Union?
By Carl Franzen - Politics DailyFormer Vice President Al Gore and wife Tipper Gore are separating two weeks after celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary, according to an email signed by both obtained by Politico. A quote from the email, sent Tuesday to friends and associates, reportedly reads: 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. Al and Tipper Gore are of course one of Washington's most well-known power couples. ...
