Hillbuzz gets it and so will Gore

My wife although sharing many political opinions with me gets weary of it very quickly. While I go to Instapundit, and Hotair and The Other McCain in the morning she goes to People online.

That’s why this post linked by Glenn at Hillbuzz is so wise:

This EW blurb means, in our opinion, that Gore’s fall is going to actually be covered in the national Media. They’ll have to, because so many people read EW, People, and those other sites that if the Media doesn’t actually cover this story, people will wonder why they’re deliberately ignoring it. Unlike 90% of everything else that goes on in politics, which regular non-politically-interested Americans ignore, if they see Gore talked about on EW’s site, but not on MSNBC, CNN, and in the New York Times and other places, they will start asking questions.

Wow.

This story really and truly could bring both Gore and his cult of Anthropogenic Global Warming crashing down.

Instead of people’s eyes glassing over when I mention this they will know what I’m talking about, its actually the same dynamic that has made the attacks on the Tea Party movement so ineffectual.

Will it make one of the tabloid TV shows? If it does it’s all over.

This makes two stories in a row…

…the first being the news on the budget, that I took with a grain of salt because of the source. Now the Al Gore Sex scandal is all over Memeorandum and Stacy McCain’s joke story is not a joke any more.

The real story here, isn’t the fact that the case was closed (the Washington Post’s line). The story here is that the news of the case was apparently suppressed for 3 years during a time when the Vice President was as prominent as he had ever been.

Let’s pretend the person in the report was named, “McCain”, or “Bush” or “Palin” would the story have been reported? In fact we don’t have to pretend.

Two cause and effects for this:

#1 It might be time to decide to take the National Enquirer seriously as a news source, particularly since the rest of the media isn’t interested. One story (Edwards) might be lucky, two stories add up to news.

#2 Falahime who blogs at POWIP who is a masseuse will be putting up the following sign:

“We reserve the right to refuse business to anyone. Especially Al Gore.”

The money line of the story BTW

Of course, the real story isn’t about masseuse vs. massage therapist, but about this: “The FBI, Secret Service and Oregon State Police all declined Portland Police request to investigate the assault claim against Gore, according to the police report.”

How about that!

On Morning Joe today the Gore divorce was briefly touched on

And they agreed with me that it wasn’t something to critique

Apparently he should say the same thing to CBS and Sally Quinn:

When it comes to things that caused Al and Tipper Gore to lose sleep and ultimately their love for each other, it turns out that George W. Bush was higher on the list than chlorofluorocarbons and Twisted Sister — at least according to a “family friend.”

I’m more than a little ashamed of myself that in my first post about the Gore separation that I didn’t think to blame Bush for Al and Tipper’s marital breakdown — but fortunately CBS News and Sally Quinn were there to pick up the slack:

Smitty meanwhile offers a particularly Baptist take on the subject.

I don’t respect Al Gore very much…

…but the end of a marriage, particularly one as long as his is a very sad thing.

As it is a separation as opposed to an actual divorce there is actually a chance for the marriage to be saved.

It is very easy to go after a political foe in a situation like this but this is a matter that has nothing to do with anything we disagree on.

I’ll include them both in my prayers and ask that you do to.
