I wonder how much they got paid to stop the investigation.

I bet a new windmill farm donated anonymously will be springing up in Portland soon.

Law enforcement authorities in Portland, Ore., have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to proceed with a criminal prosecution of former vice president Al Gore
"Do I really have to say it?"

Please. The woman was a liar. It turns out she had no pants at all.

“It turns out she had no pants at all.”
To be more precise, the pants were tested, but stains were not semen.

According to the statement on the Portland PD’s website, the DA declined to prosecute.

There were just te two of them there and it was basically his word against hers. When Al got frisky she should have walked out.

That is interesting. Just because the case was dropped does not mean it didn’t happened, it just means that the DA is not interested in going forward. Sometimes that means that there is not enough evidence or in this case they are trying to protect AlGore.

I will
NOT defend Al Gore, but how could an investigation go forward with a "woman" who fails a polygraph, has no evidence (that she claims to have), gets paid for her story, and refuses to even release the medical records from the incident?
I can't stand Al Gore, and I would be the first one piling on if this story had any credence, but from everything released so far, this woman sounds as unbelievable as the Duke Lacrosse "victim". The DA's career, in that case was rightfully destroyed because he ran with a case that had no evidence, why should this case be any different?

Oftentimes, it means the DA doesn’t think he can get a conviction. I read an article from an Oregon newspaper that said there was no dna evidence on the pants.
Let’s see what The Enquirer or the masseuse does next. The lengthy and thorough account of the encounter is what tended to give the accusation credibility.

Good, now Tipper will take him back.
