As the news has broken in the past 12 hours about allegations from a 54-year-old Oregon masseuse that Al Gore fondled and groped her in 2006, today the details of the woman's report to the police are emerging. Among them: She says that Gore was a "giggling 'crazed sex poodle' " who flashed a "come hither look before pouncing on her in a Portland hotel suite" at the Hotel Lucia.
But the masseuse didn't stop there with her Inconvenient allegations. She also portrayed Gore "as a tipsy, handsy predator who forced her to drink Grand Marnier, pinned her to a bed, and forcibly French kissed her." She also reportedly described Gore as a person "with a violent temper, as well as [an] extremely dictatorial commanding attitude besides his Mr. Smiley Global Warming concern persona." OUCH!
And that's not even the worst of it! As The Smoking Gun reports, "after fleeing Gore's suite, the woman returned home to discover, a la Lewinsky, 'stains on the front of my black slacks.' Suspecting that the stains were Gore bodily fluids, the woman mad sure not to clean them."
The masseuse is so far anonymous, but we know that's not likely to last very long. She's reportedly looking to sell her story, and so I think we'll learn her identity in pretty short order. Stay tuned...

Oh, this is truly priceless!
ReplyDeleteHolly, there were no charges filed by the cops, and the lady does lack a certain level of credibility, given how she has had differing levels of interest over time in whether the event should be prosecuted and given that she's now trying to sell her story to the highest bidder.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I think it highly probable that SOMETHING unsavory went down in that hotel suite. Given the lady's lack of credibility, I would say that this is likely the classic he said/she said "truth lies somewhere in the middle" scenario. Put another way, she's probably embellishing some or a lot of this BUT EVEN IF SO, this was a married man trying to fool around (allegedly) with a masseuse in his hotel suite.
Much like with the Larry David Ex-Wife story, I keep coming back to Gore claiming that his separation from Tipper had nothing to do with cheating. I can forgive a cheating politician a lot easier than I can a bald-faced lying one (see Bill Clinton).
I can understand doubting her credibility, but it seems like a lot of the time, these things end up being true (or some version thereof) and yes, now they're just bald face liars =)
ReplyDeleteClearly something happened in that suit, and there was likely something about it that was inappropriate on Gore's part. But I would be surprised if the lady wasn't embellishing some of the stuff she's said.
