Oregon Officials Won’t Prosecute Gore

Filed under: Politics — DRJ @ 4:16 pm



[Guest post by DRJ]

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports former Vice President Al Gore won’t be prosecuted regarding allegations made by a massage therapist. More concerns about the accuser’s story are detailed at the link, including this:

“The Portland Tribune said it thoroughly investigated her allegations – including interviewing the accuser – only to determine it wasn’t responsible to move forward with a story. The paper reported that she failed a polygraph test. At least one other news organization also declined to publish a story.”

I didn’t realize newspapers investigated criminal allegations this aggressively.

  2. Those “new clients” were global warming cultists who simply wanted to touch the hand that touched the Goracle’s chakra.

    Of course they do. Don’t you remember John McCain’s suspected relationship with that attractive blonde lobbyist being New York Times’ front page news? They investigate even non-criminal allegations thoroughly and aggressively.

  5. Yet they didn’t investigate John Edwards until it was unavoidable in fact Kurtz was the only one who
    even really hinted at it,

    Somebody has to bring these accusers to justice.

  7. ian cormac, unavoidable, and essentially forced to by the The National Enquirer no less! Still makes me chuckle.

    (It’s a simple system: Look for the “D” or “R” after the name and proceed accordingly).

  8. she also said she called him after their encounter and told him to “dream of redheaded women.”

    This is according to Molly?

    Wow. Maybe an affair/blackmail attempt?

  9. Sure, they thoroughly investigated. However, it turns out their investigation consisted of asking Whoopie and she assured them it wasn’t “rape-rape.”

  11. well i find two things interesting.

    First, they have decided to stop investigating. Which suggests there is more evidence to examine, they just don’t feel like examining it.

    Second, what about the two other alleged victims? I mean it might be hard to bring that stuff into the trial, but regular logic says that if he did it to two other women, he is more likely to have done it to her?

  14. from comedian Argus Hamilton:
    “Al Gore was accused of sexually assaulting a massage therapist in his Beverly Hills hotel room before the Academy Awards ceremony three years ago.
    He must be mortified.
    When Al threw off his towel she gave him the Oscar for Best Animated Short”

    The Portland what? Good grief, I didn’t realize that somebody was still using that mimeograph machine my cousin junked three decades ago. Must have printed their own “press” cards too…
