Gore Response to Masseuse Story

The Washington Post is now reporting the Al Gore-Redheaded Masseuse story. Surprisingly, they track how the National Enquirer report relied "heavily" on the documents behind the accusation, and point out the care taken before letting the story go to press.

Gore and his attorneys have been trying to sweep this under the rug since 2007 and again in 2008. There can hardly be an "I don't remember" defense.

Oh, I know he grabbed her hand, no doubt so that she could SPONTANEOUSLY massage his 'itch' -- however, I find it humorous that anyone anywhere would notify the hotel that he wants an "abdominal massage."He is such a LOSER.

[Political Junkie Too]

Yeah, but we have Newt Gingrich, Bob Livingston, Henry Hyde, David Vitter, Mark Sanford...

Oh, great MM, now you’re sending folks to a rapture blog.

My apologies for the double posting. It was not done purposefully. You’ll note that the url identification is only one number off. It took FR an unusually long time to post. It was just an error.

I guess Algore can forget about an invite to Chelsea’s wedding this summer.

[Larry Lucido]

That does indeed happen. Don’t know how many double posts I’ve made where I only hit the button once.

He admits that he called for a woman to feel him up for pay. That everybody agrees on.

[beckysueb]

Poodlegate it is then.

[trisham]

I guess we now know why the marriage failed.

Hilary is simply isolating any potential threats to her next and final run for the Presidency.

[beckysueb]

Henry Hyde? You’re kidding! LOL

[hennie pennie]

>>>> "We need to come up with a 'gate for this. Gropegate? Massuesegate?" <<<<

What are your ideas, my suggestion was too lame, and an insult to canines.

ANY good ideas, anyone?

[BunnySlippers]

... and his silence on the BP oil spill.

[beckysueb]

I like Gropegate myself.

[Political Junkie Too]

I wish I were. It came out decades after it was over.

[beckysueb]

But at least these guys affairs were by mutual consent. They didn’t force themselves on anyone.

[trisham]

Good point.

[beckysueb]

Inconvenienttruthgate?

[An American In Dairyland]

Well, gee, maybe because she didn’t like him paying for “service”. I didn’t say that nothing happened, I said that I doubt it was forced. The lady is likely just another opportunist.

Usually I don't like opportunists either. But in this case I'm more than happy to make an exception.

[sodpoodle]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I’ll have to re-register;) LOL!!!

How about Lummoxgate???

BTW did you listen to the audio? I have not yet read the 73 page affidavit/police report - but there is no way she is making this stuff up.

Unless and until a woman has been sexualy assaulted (and there are degrees of physical force) they will not be able to fully appreciate the strange mental gymnastics, rationalizing and self blame that happens - in the blink of an eye. Not following up with a police report is not unusual- it’s embarrassing and traumatic to relive the experience - especially if you are able to prevent penetration by luck or guile - however, she did follow up within a few months.
