What is going on? What are they thinking? Politics aside, I have admired this couple for about 30 years. They were always so openly romantic (obviously including "the Kiss"). They were supportive and together in the midst of difficulty and tragedy. It seemed like nothing phased them. They were in love above all else!
I remember when Tipper stood up for explicit language on music albums and CDs and was on the forefront of getting restrictions passed on sales to minors of explicit music, Al supported her. I remember various losses from the campaign trail and these two genuinely stood beside each other through it all. Who would have thought that from the Clinton years this would be the first primary couple to divorce?
And the reason? Really? They say in an email: "We have grown apart because of Al's travel schedule... And it is "mutual and mutually supportive". Oh come on now!!!
Yes marriage is hard! Yes divorce is rampant. But when you could have been a good role model, when you could have stepped up your responsibility, Mr Gore & Mrs Gore - instead you retreat and back away! You take the easy road...
