Bush blamed for failure of Gore marriage
2010-06-02
..Gore was the Democratic Presidential nominee in 2000, ultimately losing a controversial election for former President George W. Bush.

Family friend Sally Quinn told CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson that Gore winning the popular vote for president but losing the electoral vote may have done the marriage irreparable harm.

"He's obviously suffered a lot," Quinn said. "He'll never get over that and neither will she."

#23  Letting her drive a Toyota Prius obviously didn't solve the problem if you get my drift.

Divorce pains the planet
by Elsa Wenzel Font sizePrintE-mailShare31 comments Yahoo! Buzz
.Share676 As if the burden of divorce weren't bad enough, people with failed marriages can be blamed for global warming, according to a study by Michigan State University.

Divorced couples use up more space in their respective homes, which amounts to to 38 million more rooms worldwide to light, heat and cool, noted the report.

And people who divorced used 73 billion kilowatt-hours more of electricity and 627 billion gallons of water than they would otherwise in 2005.

Dissolving a marriage also means doubling possessions, from the lowly can opener to the SUV. The report, however, did not estimate how many more natural resources the children of shared-custody parents consume by getting birthday and holiday gifts twice.

#20  "I thought this was the Onion but it turns out to be CBS"

Know how you can tell the difference between the two right away, garth?

The Onion is more believable and more reality-based.

#18  Look - Tipper is a bit strange too.
Saw a photo of her when she played in a rock band. She was into sort of a Pat Benatar in leather look while playing Wing type music.
Then she married a log with the personality of a dead fish.
Okay that's weird.
Then fast forward a few years and she's a fat lady attacking rock & roll...
Okay a 180 degree ... kind of understandable in light of a marriage to a rich solid wood dead fish.... rich as in occidental petroleum rich..
now... to become Occidental Carbon Trading rich...
but still a dead fish with a super ego greater than the anti-christ...
Okay... its getting more twisted and still more calories...
As some point "Girl you are getting Fat and Strange" impinges upon her brain... you only have one life and you are living it with this DORK.... "Divorce is a Good Option"....
Be gone Dork!
Rock & Roll NEVER Forgets!

#17  So Tipper is leaving because of a well-hung chad?

#16  Equally reliable sources of information.

At least the Onion® knows that its reporting is a joke.

I'd say it's more likely that beard phase Al Gore went through.

Does Tipper gets half the internet?

#13  The diabolical Dubya has been gone for 16 months and he can STILL wreck marriages and sabotage oil wells.

Given the delayed onset of this problem, GoreÂ’s next move will be to hit up the VA for a PTSD settlement. It might pay his electric bill for a few hours.

Otoh, maybe he just found himself a hairy-pit greenie girl and Tipper found out about it. A bush could indeed be involved but not the ex-president.

Equally reliable sources of information.

#8  Keeping the myth alive instead of accepting the law laid down over 200 years ago brings hubris and fate to crush one's life. Then again, it's human free will to do so. Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.

#1  Nonsense, if he tried for the Presidential nom right after his Nobel prize he would have captured the heat before Obama even threw his hat in. He went for the carbon trading scam instead. You want to know what screwed up their marriage I would think that's the place to start.
