Drudge Siren: Gore Affair, Says Star Magazine
Curb Your Enthusiasm, It Was Just With Laurie David

You ever read a hack horror story or true crime book?
And like in the first 100 pages they have to say
something is a "grim tableaux"? Well, if you ever wondered
what they meant, wonder no more

I know that most people will say "Uggh! Two of those people are having sex!," but I look at it the other way: Two of those people aren't having sex.

What can I tell you, I'm a glass-half-full kinda guy.

Hoboy: Even his affairs are all about Global Warming.

Gore's split from wife Tipper after 40 years of marriage was a shock to everyone who thought theirs was the ideal marriage. Now Star can exclusively reveal that the former Vice President was having an affair with Larry David's ex-wife — for the past two years!

In the June 28 issue of Star, on sale Wednesday, we report that Al and Tipper's breakup didn't come as much of a surprise to one Hollywood player — Laurie David. Star has learned that Al has been having an affair with Laurie, who divorced Seinfeld creator and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David in 2007 amidst reports she was cheating with the caretaker of their Martha's Vineyard summer home.

Laurie David Cheats On The Environment, Too: As Slublog noted long ago.

I stopped reading that after she said her career was on hold due to childbirth.

What career?

IMDB doesn't lie.

Wikipedia notes she had a fringes-of-entertainment career as a talent coordinator for David Letterman (doesn't that mean she gets coffee?) and as a producer of cable shows.

I knew a producer of cable shows, and... Well. It's a very gruntwork position.

...

We heard from the Globe on this last week; I guess Star is somewhat more respectable, but how much?

National Enquirer, sure... There is a good case for revisionism there. But the Star? Have they been breaking stories that I don't know about?

Well, for whatever reason, this has caught Drudge's eye and who knows, maybe he knows some backstory that makes him think this is reliable.

Oh Myyyyyy: Now, I'ma gonna go ahead and call BS on this, because, if there's one thing I've noticed about gay dudes (Hillbuzz, I'm looking at you), it's that they are too frequently claiming to "know" sexual stuff that I simply don't believe they know.

They "know" this guy is gay (friend of a friend got chatted up by him, swearsies!) etc. They seem to gossip a lot and claim to be closer to the source of the information. (Like, not that there's just a "rumor" going around, but that they know someone who can actually vouch, first-hand, for the information).

Annoying. Sorry, I think most gays know exactly as much about John Travolta's sex life as I do. Which is to say, none. I know none about it, as Nigel Tuflnel might say.

I will say that if he's not banging Kelly Preston I hate him even more than if he is.

Anyway, that disclaimer aside, here's what Andrew "Milky Loads" Sullivan has to say about Gore in a different context:

"It is well known in Washington he is the most hung politician around," Sullivan added.

Since the Gores have been married for 40 years, how could this be "well known"?

Unless...

But you know, I think Andrew Sullivan is a deranged ninny. When he's not having cold-sweats nightmares about Sarah Palin's endless Wicked Gardens he's guestimating about politicians' staffs.

Hmmm... The first time I watched that, Sullivan seemed serious.

Now that I watch it, he seems to be mock serious. The batting of the eyes is a giveaway.

Sorry -- I think he's telling a joke here. So ignore this please. I got it wrong.

He sold me on his serious tone so much I didn't notice that he was selling that serious tone for comic effect.

Not a good joke, but that's irrelevant.

Can't believe I'm saying this: Apologies to Andrew Sullivan.

Al Gore Pick-Up Lines: Not in the thread yet, but they should be.
