Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have decided to go their separate ways after 40 years of marriage, news reports said Tuesday.
The Gores informed friends of the separation through e-mail which reads
"We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate.
"This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further."
Once one of Washington's most celebrated couples, Al and Tipper Gore have not been in the public eye as much as a twosome since the then-vice president's narrow defeat to George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential campaign.
Al Gore declined to run for president again in 2004, but emerged as a leading spokesman in the environmental movement on the issue of climate change. He won a Nobel Prize and an Oscar in 2007 for the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth."
The Gores both grew up in the Washington area and met at a high school graduation dance. They married in 1970 and have four children and live in Tennessee.

this is flabbergasting and saddening. And I think they're both frauds...So much for 'Till death do us part'
they're both liars, and their 'Christian commitment' is a joke.
