If the Gore break-up really isn&#8217;t about adultery on either side, then it seems that the failure of their marriage could be the cost of being a famous public figure. If Al is on the road here, there and everywhere, he&#8217;s not at home being a husband. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m not blaming him, necessarily. I don&#8217;t have any reason to put the blame on him, and I do hope that people who don&#8217;t like Al Gore as a politician and as an environmental advocate won&#8217;t take advantage of his personal crisis to whack on him. Still, if Al and Tipper Gore did grow apart over the years, surely his prominence and associated globetrotting was a major contributing factor in this sad end to their marriage. At least that&#8217;s what friends of their are anonymously telling the press.<br \/>\n<i>Forty years.<\/i> Man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sad news from the Gore family.
