Star Magazine is reporting today (link at bottom) what must be a most Inconvenient Truth for Al Gore -- reporting that for the past two years, he's has had an affair with Larry David's ex-wife, Laurie David (pictured above with Larry and Al & Tipper Gore). Larry David, of course, is the filthy rich co-creator of Seinfeld and star of the HBO hit comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm. The Davids, by the way, divorced in 2007 "amidst reports" that she was cheating then with the caretaker of their Martha's Vineyard summer home (Laurie likes her Lovers, apparently!).The "shock" here to me is the person with whom Al was allegedly cheating, and not so much the fact that he was having an affair (allegedly), which frankly comes as no surprise. As I stated in this space upon the recent news of Al and Tipper's separation, there would be more to this story since (as the wise, though deranged, right-winger Michael Savage stated that day) people only get separated or divorced for one of two reasons: (1) An affair; and/or (2) Money. (See the "Inconvenient Marriage" item in the Ladies Panel, right sidebar).
One final thought: I seem to recall Al and Tipper claiming, at the time their separation was announced, that there was no cheating and no affair involved in the separation. Thus, if the Star report is true, then Al and Tipper basically tried to pull their best Bill Clinton impersonation, i.e. looking the American people straight in the eye and outright lying to them. Not that I'd expect much better or any different from the likes of Al & Tipper Gore, truth be told. But if Al would lie about something like this, just how much credit are you going to give him for believing a single word that came out of his mouth in An Inconvenient Truth? If this story is true, what little credibility the man might have had left is now completely shot in my opinion (not because of the affair itself, but because of the bald faced lie he tried to tell us -- allegedly).
