I thought ALGORE was asexual

The thought of sex and ALGORE....excuse me while I take a shot of bourbon!

Prosecutor: Al Gore was focus of sex crime inquiry in Portland

The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office confirmed today that a woman who alleged unwanted sexual contact by Al Gore reported it to police in 2006, and the prosecutor’s office was briefed by the Portland Police Bureau in late 2006 and January 2007....

At the time, according to a Portland police 2007 report, the woman reported the encounter several weeks after the incident. Portland Detective Cheryl Waddell said the woman cancelled interview appointments three times, and declined police investigation, saying a civil case would be pursued.

Portland police Sgt. Rich Austria said the woman's lawyer had contacted the U.S. Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Oregon State Police "in an attempt to have a larger law enforcement agency investigate this case. All above agencies declined and referred him to the agency of jurisdiction where the alleged crime occurred,'' Waddell wrote in her report.

Waddell was assigned the case Dec. 19, 2006. By 2007, the woman or her attorney told police the case was going to be handled civilly...

Randall Vogt, a Pearl District attorney specialized in sexual misconduct cases, said he represented the masseuse in 2006 after she claimed Vice-President Al Gore sexually attacked her during a massage.

He declined to identify the woman and said they had not been in touch since her original claim was investigated by Portland Police.

"That file was closed and put to bed and forgotten," Vogt said. "She and I parted on friendly terms as best I can recall."

Vogt said he was not aware that his former client reactivated her claims against Gore last year, prompting police to reinvestigate the allegations....

In January 2009, the woman returned to Portland police and said she wanted to give a statement. Detective Molly Daul and a victim advocate from the sexual assault unit met with the woman. She reported that she was repeatedly subjected to unwanted sexual touching while in his presence....

After interviewing the woman, the Police Bureau provided additional counseling services through its victim advocate program. The case was not investigated further "because detectives concluded there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations.

In June 2010, the woman called police, asked for a copy of her statement, and asked if she could edit it. She also advised the bureau she was going to take the case to the media...


Now that I've had a drink I have a question. Where are the women's groups screaming from their hind legs about sexual harassment? After all, women never lie about this, that's what they said about Anita Hill. Anyone? Anyone?

  1. Shouldn't "Mr. Gore" have to give up his Nobel Prize for this ??? Isn't he bringing (more) shame to the institution ?

    Just another thought.

  2. Good point but you know discredit on the Nobel Committee….the group that gave Yasser Arafat a prize…or Jimmy Carter a prize, opening saying the reason was as an insult to George W Bush. I don’t know which is worse.

    I’m not going to hold my breath on the idiots saying ALGORE give us back our toy…hell Milli Vanilli had to give their Grammy back.
