You have to understand that photos in his house like this are staged for a reason, just like the deep public kiss. The family is attempting to portray him as a loving sexy dad (heavy emphasis on the sex part). They've been doing that for years now.

Yes, it's the oldest trick in the political book, the family photo. They're all staged, Republican and Democrat alike. I don't think that excuses false incest accusations.

He got his wish, now we're free to interpret the appropriateness of the images and the sexual overtones in whatever they're feeding us. Doesn't it seem weird that Karenna is closely involved in things like him having a perfectly arranged package on the cover of Rolling Stone and having Tipper talking about Al sleeping in the nude? Karenna is constantly trying to Alpha-male sexualize him (for the voters of course).

I still don't see the problem. A young woman knows what other young women like. It's politics.

The point is that his daughter's near obsessive involvement in her father's sexuality and virility are very public.

This is the first I've heard of it. Even so, if that's what her role is in his campaign, then that's what she does. It shouldn't mean anything else.

That was a major political miscalculation if you don't want people joking about it and noticing the very thing they're used to seeing presented by the Gore family -- even if that particular photo was designed to be innocent.

I think the photo is innocent and I know many families who have pictures like these.

Happygal: I saw your posts on the other thread. I'm glad someone agrees with me. I thought I was the Lone Ranger there for a while. Falsely implying incest crosses a line and is wrong.

Talk about overreacting, nobody is accusing him of sexually assaulting his daughter. People are just pointing out the "loving closeness" with daughter #2 and the close involvement with his sexuality by daughter #1 is a bit strange. And it just so happens his boss was Bill "oral sex isn't even sex" Clinton. No need to be shocked..."shocked!" at the snickers. It's called parody, you can relax now.

I feel more sorry for Richard Gere after SNL mentioned him last week having a happy anniversary with his gerbil.

While I wouldn't go as far as saying their relationship is incestuous, I'd say it is strange.

You are a freak.

Did I mention you are a freak?
