A real shame

Al and Tipper Gore are seperating after forty years of marriage.

The couple, whom the former vice-president once claimed served as Eric Segal's model for Oliver and Jenny of Love Story, seemed to be one of the most solidly connected couples in public life. Most of us recall the steamy kiss he planted on her just before accepting the Democratic presidential nomination in 2000. And whatever one may have think of Al's politics, Tipper was for many years an outspoken critic of violence and obscenity in popular culture, a true advocate of the besieged American family.

They have my prayers and best wishes. Here's hoping that they eventually work everything out.
