Tipper Gore was more enraged about Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky than even Hillary Clinton, according to a new book.
“Tipper Gore was furious at Bill Clinton, angrier than Hillary Clinton was,” author Kate Andersen Brower told The Post. Her new book, “First in Line: Presidents, Vice Presidents and the Pursuit of Power,” comes out Tuesday.
With Lewinsky being the same age as the Gores’ eldest daughter, Karenna, Tipper “felt personally offended by the scandal,” said ex-Gore aide Jamal Simmons. The White House intern was 22 when the affair with Bill Clinton began.
“In Gore’s case there’s no way he would have gotten to such a dark place if Tipper hasn’t been so mad,” another aide told the author.
That “dark place” was Al Gore’s decision not to campaign with Bill Clinton during Gore’s 2000 run for the presidency, which – like Hillary Clinton – he lost because of the Electoral College math.
Today, Al Gore still bristles when asked about his relationship with Hillary Clinton – who many characterized as Bill Clinton’s co-president, diminishing Gore’s role as veep.
“I expected him to say Hillary Clinton and I had a great working relationship,” Andersen Brower told The Post. Instead, “he thought the interview might have to be cut short,” she wrote in the book.

I remember Tipper’s attempts to put warning labels on rap music
RACIST!
I’m rounding up a 1 day ban for Oldeconomybuyer for a lack of a “Barf Alert” with that photo. Anyone else with me?
Is his chakra still enlarged?
bubba got it up. algore couldn’t get it up (politically speaking, that is)
If true she was at least consistent. I had to like her moral stances.
Now if only she wasn’t with a High Priest of the religion of The Environment(TM).
i read that back when it happened. she was pissed b/c she had all these teen girls and did not want Slick near any of them.
LOL
Reminds me, I had heard that was a reason for Nancy Pelosi being cool towards the Clintons. Apparently Bill had made some improper suggestions towards one of Pelosi’s daughters.
So what?
Did Tipper DO anything about it? No.
Meanwhile, Al Gore was giggling “like a crazed sex poodle and gave a come hither look at the Oregon masseuse” before pouncing on her in a Portland hotel suite. Of course, this didn’t make Tipper furious or enraged. No, not one bit.
Who cares? Tipper was just a political bedwarmer who thought she wielded power. And she tried to ruin rock and roll.
And why is this a story? Tipper or her grifter daughter must be thinking about a run for office.
Actually it was for anything that was untoward.
That’s fine with me.
That had spousal abuse written all over it.
Gak!
They’re ‘personally offended”
But it’s quite ok to take $$$ from hollyweird, the porn industry, “assistance” from Larry Flynn, Gloria, the lesbians at NOW, homosexuals, atheists and minority/Jewish bigots
So easily “offended” it appears
LOL!
Only if he apologizes. If not, a 1-day ban is definitely in order.
When I look back, I'm shocked by how naive she was. To take on the corporate multinational industrial Negro music complex was extremely gutsy or unbelievably naive.
I'm glad she saw the light and divorced the Blob.
Anyone who things Hillary didn’t know about it is deluded.
