Who would have predicted that Al and Tipper would separate and Bill and Hillary would remain married?

Didn't Gore, in one of his various delusional proclamations, claim that their relationship was the basis for "Love Story"?

I think so.  Which means if Tipper would have just died already, everything would have been perfect.

Not exactly.

http://www.dailyhowler.com/h052500_1.shtml

QuoteRobinson and Scales were pounding away, "scrutinizing" Gore's "veracity" (see THE DAILY HOWLER, 5/24/00). After fumbling what Gore had said on abortion, they played a familiar refrain:

QuoteROBINSON AND SCALES: He has also said that he and his wife, Tipper, were the models for the movie "Love Story," only to be contradicted by author Erich Segal.

Robinson and Scales were repeating a standard part of iconic Gore Lore. You've heard it said a million times. (1) Gore claimed that he and his wife inspired Love Story. (2) Author Erich Segal contradicted what he said.

Unfortunately, this two-part tale is flatly wrong, on the record—both parts of the story are demonstrably wrong, and have been, on the record, for years. Back in December 1997, when this pointless incident first came to light, Melinda Henneberger did a lengthy article on the topic for the New York Times. She interviewed Erich Segal, Love Story's author; she interviewed Karen Tumulty and Richard Berke, the two journalists present for Gore's remark on the subject. Had Gore stretched the truth, and been contradicted? Sorry. As is quite clear from what Henneberger reported, everyone agreed that the trivial things which Gore had said were in fact perfectly accurate. And Segal agreed with every word Gore had said. Yet, three years later, this incident is still being cited, day after day, as the standard proof that Gore stretches truth. Few incidents better display the destructive pathology—and the love of sheer trivia—which now grip our troubled press corps.

...

Much, much more. In painful, mind-numbing detail.

There's no better word for our gutless fucking press corps than "decadent."

My guess is that Al wanted to go to Dio's funeral and Tipper wouldn't let him.

That's the kind of thing that can end any relationship.

If we didn't have the Davids and the Gores, where would we be?  In Communist Cuba, that's where.
