Tipper Gore
Political Pawn
Al Gore
Before close shave with Senator Tipper.
Update - Gore Shaves

Tipper Gore Aargh Award
The following is a transcript of an anonymous audio tape I received
at USA Trivia. The tape is of very poor quality - I have transcribed
it as best I can. I am guessing at some of the identities.
Tipper Gore: Okay
people listen up. We have to do something to get my husband back
on the right political track.
Unknown Male: You have to convince him to shave before
we can do anything.
Hillary Clinton: I wish you would. I'm rising in the polls
as the odds-on favorite for the nomination in 2004, and I don't
want to run in 2004. I'm looking at 2008! Let Gore go against
Bush again in 04. We need a plan.
Tom Daschle: Tipper, why don't you announce your intent
to run for the senate in Tennessee - your husband's old seat?
Unknown Male: Interesting. There wouldn't be a beard problem.
Hillary Clinton: C'mon. She's not qualified to be a senator.
Just because she is married to a political figure doesn't give
her the credentials - [voice abruptly stops here and there is
a long period of silence]
Ted Kennedy: Well, anyway, I think the idea has merit.
No one in Tennessee is going to vote for her - they didn't even
support her husband in 2000 - but if we appear to run Tipper
for the senate it might snap Al back to reality. And when he
comes alive again we pull her out of the race and his popularity
may actually go up.
I like it. It works for me. Mix me another one of these please.
Unknown Male: I like it too. Let's do it. When he shaves,
I'll know he's running, and I'll help you gracefully bow out
of the race, Tip.
Teddy Kennedy. This is awful weak, take it easy on the
ice.
Tipper Gore: I think the senate idea is great. I'll do
it for Al. The minute he thinks I'm the one with the political
future he'll snap into line faster than you can say "w".
Besides, I can run for the senate after serving as First Lady.
Aaaaaaaarrrrrgh!
