ONLY HERE IN AMERICA WHERE POLITICIANS GET DIVORCED AFTER 40 YEARS.......I GUESS THEY GREW APART...PLZZZ!!!!! SMH

ARE THEY REALLY GOING TO GO THROUGH WITH IT??

They were the happy exceptions — high school sweethearts whose passionate romance led to a famously stable marriage in a capital perpetually rocked by tawdry scandals and sleazy affairs.

But on Tuesday, less than a month after they marked their 40th wedding anniversary, former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, announced they were breaking up.

The couple, who have four grown children, disclosed the news in a brief e-mail to friends and supporters. Gore, 62, and his wife, 61, gave no hint of whatever hidden turmoil might have caused their union to crumble.

Humm......is there an affair WE need to know about???
