looks like they decided to not bring charges...
so the lady may have to sue him in civil court

i wonder if a civil court could force him to submit DNA
so they could test her pants to see if "the mess" is his?

I totally understand the need for massages, thiers a place I goes 2 block from my house that charge $25 for foot massage(neck & body free) I see people tipping $40 . In these stress filled time these place are cleaning up big time and totally worth it.

as a pure money perspective this would be it, if you not afriad of hard work

A national tabloid magazine

Was that story next to the one about the aliens in the Washington Monument?  Or about the latest celebrity pregnancy?

[Edit:  Don't mean to sound snide here, but it says tabloid.  Do we know exactly what magazine or is there more than one source?]

I mean if this really did happen, maybe old Gore is just desperate for attention. :P

Let's face it, the guy has seen better days.  Every politician seems to be having a race to see who can go crazy first and Gore was never far from the finish line...

The tabloid was the National Enquirer. They are the ones who broke the story about John Edwards love child.

Other publications were aware of the story but chose not to run it.

Which is the same as what happened with Edwards.

Really?  That's interesting. 

Why not though?  I mean we have to hear about every other minor disgrace from every celebrity under the sun (that Val Kilmer discussion comes to mind).  And it's not like Gore is powerful enough any more to force through some kind of gag order or cover up.

maybe it`s just not that interesting.

I never heard of the edwards scandal and in the supermarket if I saw it on the headline I wouldn`t give it a thought.

I`m not saying gore is the samething to me but is general terms gore might have the same reaction.

he separation hardly got a response from me .

remember he was VP , not the most notable position in politics.

Because an official complaint was never filed. The Portland paper thought there was enough smoke to ask for a comment from Gore Headquarter.

The Kilmer case is different. And it differs in that the government was wrongly using its power to deny permits, not based on the request, but because of comments made by the requestor.

One of the best ways to keep out of trouble in local govt is to concentrate on what-ville instead of worrying about who-ville.

Maybe it was right next to the story about John Edwards mistress and love child
that was in the National Enquirer and everybody dismissed like you seem to be doing...
"ah that cant be true....look at the source".

As a general rule, yes, I tend to carefully scrutinize the source of anything I hear.  That notwithstanding everybody gets it right once in a while.  I don't deny that these events happened, I'm simply saying I don't know enough about it to make an informed called either way and that I do tend to treat the National Enquirer with the same regard I treat a poorly written fiction novel.  Maybe that's a mistake, but I'll take my chances not getting the cutting edge.

They're still better than that one black-and-white one... i think it's called the Globe or something.  If they're telling the truth then there are an additional 800 commandments 2500 Nostradamus predictions and 32,000 aliens.  :D

true Pup....

and I have a feeling when it's a conservative it doesn't
have to be the National Enquirer breaking the story.

I'm not quite as conservative as my father before me (random star wars flashback).

I am fully aware that both parties have extremists who lie and alter the truth in anyway they can.  I lean traditionally towards the values of Republicans, true, but not unfalteringly and unquestioningly. 

I've been raised to question everything I hear, not just what's coming out of one party.

Yeah.  Stray Pooch still thinks he's my biological father. ;)
