Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, are separating after 40 years of marriage.

According to an e-mailed statement obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday, the Gores said it was "a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration."

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the Gores, but declined to comment further.

Al Gore lost the 2000 presidential election to Republican George W. Bush. He has since campaigned worldwide to draw attention to climate change, which in 2007 led to a Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar for the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."

Tipper Gore is known for her advocacy on mental health issues. She became interested partly because her mother suffered from depression.

The Gores have four adult children.

[Skiptastic]

Al was getting all that Best Documentary groupie pussy and Tipper just couldn't take it anymore.

 

[big ander]

The wifey was smothering his quest to find the real manbearpig.

 

[cory]

How long until the mistress is revealed?

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Can't say I ever expected Bill and Hillary to be the last ones standing.

 

[dankir]

40 years eh? Damn he must be in his sixties then???

 

[BattleMonkey]

So does she get half the internet in the divorce?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Sounds good to me?

Marriage should never sound good

 

[BowieZ]

So she was finally excommunicated from the Illuminati.

 

[LQX]

Now him and his family will be in two different mansions wasting even more energy.

 

[The Elite]

Who gets NeoGAF and porn?

 

[Stumpokapow]

i'd make a joke about the phony make-out session during the 2000 campaign, but no one on gaf is old enough to remember

kinda crazy how in 3 years gaf will accept members born after this even happened

 

[Archaix]

Helps his image in my eyes. Hate Tipper Gore. Couldn't support Al Gore in 2000 in large part due to his choices of who he surrounded himself with. His wife and VP candidate were pretty despicable people.

Well, that and the fact that I couldn't technically vote yet in 2000. But, the point remains.

 

[Reseil]

:lol

 

[Branduil]

So Love Story was a lie?

 

[JumpJeff84]

I'm shocked that no pics of Tipper have been posted yet. Shocked.

 

[eznark]

I think Tipper was probably out banging an oil tycoon while Al built his hysteria empire. Someone like T. Boone Pickens would be hilarious.

 

[clav]

So Love Story was a lie?

Always was.

 

[Davedough]

She probably got tired of waiting 2 hours for the man to finish a sentence. I mean FFS, is it possible for anyone to talk any slower?

 

[The Elite]

I think Tipper was probably out banging an oil tycoon while Al built his hysteria empire. Someone like T. Boone Pickens would be hilarious.

Or maybe she was sleeping with a hung guy named Chad.

 

[Escape Goat]

At least he didn't kill her when he wanted to get rid of his wife.

It would be nice to be a fly on the wall when Tipper told him the inconvenient truth.

 

[Diablohead]

God, it's like watching a mother bird stuff a worm down the baby bird's throat.

 

[ronito]

It's a strange fad (trend?) that's going on recently.
People staying married for 20-30-40 sometimes 50 years then up and getting divorced.

Honestly I don't understand it myself. If you could raise kids and put them through college and do that for 40 years why all of the sudden is marriage so difficult you can't deal with it?
You've made it 40 years you're past your prime, why not just try and work it out like you've done for 40 years? But whatever I guess.

First thing I thought of. I'll be disappointed if Late Night doesn't make fun of that nonstop.

Because the dependence of the kids and raising them together was a reason for putting up with the BS, then once the kids are gone, there doesn't seem to be a filter for the things that have been wrong for years. And she starts giving excuses why she doesn't want to do ATM now after 40 years... sometimes you gotta know when to kick a bitch to the curb.

 

[Corran Horn]

Id imagine being/getting a divorce would hurt your political career.

 

[Davedough]

Id imagine being/getting a divorce would hurt your political career.

Why do you think Hillary is still with Bill?

 

[Escape Goat]

Id imagine being/getting a divorce would hurt your political career.

Has there ever been a single man/woman elected into a high office such as Governor/Senator/VP/Pres/etc?

 

[Big-ass Ramp]

Oh, you know

will bring that up.

Right but it still seems like running 25 miles of the marathon then saying "I'm done!"
