In that film, Al made a point of showing a painting Tipper Gore did. The painting was hanging on the wall of their home in Tennessee. It was a nude, self-portrait she painted when she was about 8 months pregnant.
Now, I don't know about anyone else, but I think therre are several levels of nuttiness in this, which are:
1. Tipper did a nude self-portrait of herself.
2. She painted herself nude while pregnant.
3. They have this painting hanging in the hall of their home, where children and grandchildren can see it.
4. Gore insisted on showing it to the entire nation (this was televised nationally) at the convention. He made a special point of making sure the camera showed it, over Tipper's protest.
5. NO ONE involved in the production of that film either thought this was inappropriate or had the nerve to overrule Gore.
Coupled with that obviously staged and fairly aggressive kiss photo-op, I think they have a very weird marriage. In fact, I would not be surprised to find out that he slaps Tipper around.
