The Tabloids vs. Al Gore

The National Enquirer tabloid, not especially renowned for it's high standards of journalism, has published an article about the masseuse who is now refusing to cooperate with police. Here is a teaser:

“Masseuse: Gore's 'A Sick Man'

Al Gore is “not what people think he is—he’s a sick man!” claims Molly Hagerty, 54, the Portland massage therapist who accused the former vice president of “unwanted sexual contact” in 2006. Hagerty, who refused to cooperate with police after they filed a 45-page report on the incident, calls Gore a “sexual predator” and says, “I want justice served.” Reports confirm that Gore was in Portland at the time of the incident, which Hagerty says happened in an upscale hotel. She says Gore asked for inappropriate touching and forced an open-mouth kiss.”


Let me get this straight. Apparently Al Gore's biggest offense was wanting to kiss her on the lips. I would guess that probably 95% of female masseuses get daily requests for hand jobs and blow jobs. I think that many times (perhaps most times) these massage establishments are simply whore houses under a more socially acceptable name. Actual physical therapy normally takes place in a different environment. In this case she came to his hotel.

Even if he wanted to receive a blow job or a hand job from her, I would say, “So What??” I do sort of question Al Gore wanting to French kiss some worn out 54 year old masseuse. To me this is an indicator of pretty low self esteem. But I guess that after everything he has been through it is logical.

The man still likes sex. Maybe even affection, caring, and that weird concept we call love. Good! I'm very glad. Or at least he did so before this saggy old take-out masseuse woman came along. Maybe she has some sort of financial incentive from the energy companies. It does clearly show that Al Gore is not attracted to young members of the same sex, like is so common nowadays. I'm really glad about that.

There are fucked-up right wingers all over America jumping on this. They are licking their chops and dribbling saliva down their chins they are so excited. Gore solidly got more votes that Bush Jr., and then after the vote rigging in Florida, the Supreme Court had to steal the election for the President of the United States from Al Gore. The ignorant racists on the right still have a burr under their saddle about having to defeat Gore this underhanded way...and getting caught.

These same poorly educated rightist fascists are going to try and use this as ammunition to neutralize Gore's message about the horrors of global warming. Deceitful and dishonorable shit like this almost makes me feel ashamed to call myself an American.
