This does not surprise me.
Remember that time in 2004 he was stopped for speeding on US 26 headed for the coast? http://www.seattlepi.com/local/186938_gore19.html
Perhaps there was more to that visit than "visiting family that lives on the coast" in a John Edwards kind of way...

He was hiking in the Cascades.

Sam Adams turned him down because he was too old.

How inconvenient. If true. But HOT! *Whew*

And the "real" media gets scooped by the Enquirer, again.

Poor Al....he should have left it in his "lockbox".

The Trib's response: "We knew about it all along, but we didn't publish it because the victim wouldn't let us use her name."
No word from the O yet. But for them, it just goes on a long list: Packwood, Goldschmidt, Adams....

Tom sez: "He was hiking in the Cascades."
Yeah, Governor Sanford was hiking the Appalachian Trail and see where that got him?

Looks like this story isn’t going to have a “Happy Ending” either.

I do miss the days of "innocent until proven guilty." What a quaint notion.

Jeezus, what is it about Portland that both Sam and Al Gore both get (I'll be polite) hooked up?
"innocent until proven guilty"
Don't forget that's the place that broke the John Edwards assignation. Hey, they didn't say Al slept with a space alien, give them some credence.

Bill Clinton told him Portland was a hot spot (Monica went to Lewis 'n Clark) so Gore thought he'd check it out for himself.

This explains global warming. I can't wait to hear Bill McDonald's jokes on Leno about this.

$540 for a legitimate massage? Really?
And if not legitimate, a 54-year old? Really?
Anyone else scratching their head here, or am I just an ass? 'cause if I were to get a massage, I'd damn sure get someone half that age and half that price.
