Clinton and Gore 'drove each other nuts' from startFROM MARTIN FLETCHER IN WASHINGTON
BILL CLINTON and Al Gore, his former Vice-President, have not spoken to each other since President Bush’s inauguration, according to Vanity Fair. An article in the American magazine speaks of the “irreparable” breakdown of their relationship during eight years in the White House.
The two men had a bitter and well-publicised confrontation a few days after Mr Gore conceded last year’s presidential election, but the tensions had been building for years, the magazine said yesterday.
“Clinton drove Gore nuts,” one of Mr Gore’s former aides said. Another former White House official said: “If people are shocked now by the way the relationship hit the skids, they shouldn’t be. There was an almost unnatural suppression and denial in the first six years.”
Relations between Hillary Clinton and Tipper Gore were little better. “Hillary thinks that Tipper is an unintellectual, nice lady who doesn’t have a brain in her head,” a source told the magazine. “Tipper thinks Hillary’s an ambitious, rather uncoordinated, grasping, difficult woman.”
Immediately after the Democrats’ 1992 convention, the two couples set off for a Midwest tour as if on a wonderful double date. In reality the two men were diametric opposites: Mr Clinton undisciplined, disorganised and loose in his personal behaviour; Mr Gore stiff, ordered and verging on the sanctimonious.
Aides said that Mr Gore was infuriated by the President’s tardiness and inability to reach decisions and felt a “very real dismay about Mr Clinton’s weaknesses”. Mr Clinton chafed at “the relentlessness of Gore’s help”.
The two men “did a remarkable job of containing the tensions and of wringing the best from their association”, but at a cost. “The more Gore was rigidly disciplined and rigidly played his part, the more his resentment grew,” a White House official said. “This is a guy who, instead of blowing up sometimes and venting all of the natural tensions in the vice-presidential role, is letting it accumulate and build . . . there was just a lot of s being built up inside.”
The rift widened when Mr Gore was accused of breaching campaign finance laws during the 1996 presidential election. It was the first time that he had been tainted by any of the Clinton White House scandals and he began to realise that “when you lie down with dogs you get up with fleas”.
The Monica Lewinsky affair accelerated the falling out. Mr Gore was publicly loyal, but could “barely even comprehend why Clinton would behave the way he behaved”, a friend said.
Mr Gore’s presidential campaign was the final straw. In an interview on the day that he announced his candidacy, he called Mr Clinton’s behaviour inexcusable three times. That was “a match on the huge pool of gasoline that had been accumulated”, a source said. Egged on by Naomi Woolf, the feminist author who became an adviser, Mr Gore refused to let Mr Clinton campaign for him and distanced himself from the President. Mr Clinton was “going nuts . . . He’s going: ‘Don’t use me, OK. God knows, use my presidency. Use my record.’ ”
The election ended with the Gore camp blaming Mr Clinton for the defeat and the President’s camp blaming Mr Gore’s incompetence.
Bob Boorstin, a campaign consultant for Mr Gore, said: “Did we make mistakes? Yes. Would I say with absolutely zero doubt in my mind that we would have won the election if Clinton hadn’t put his penis in (Monica Lewinsky’s) mouth? Yes, I guarantee it.”
Mr Clinton told a confidante that his wife, in her New York Senate race, “was able to figure out how to deal with her relationship with me and win by ten points. He (Al Gore) should have been able to as well.”
Shortly before Mr Bush’s inauguration, the White House held a party for all administration staff. Amid the eulogies for Mr Clinton, Mr Gore was scarcely mentioned.

""...we would have won the election if Clinton hadn’t put his penis in (Monica Lewinsky’s) mouth..."What does this say about Duhbya?
-- Hmmmm (think@about.it), June 06, 2001.
What does this say about Duhbya?Ummm for starters that he can keep his dick in his pants.
Does that answer your question?
-- Ain't Gonna Happen (Not Here Not@ever.com), June 06, 2001.
"Ummm for starters that he can keep his dick in his pants."For STARTERS???
According to your theory, that is the ONLY reason he was elected!
It isn't really a matter of keeping his dick in his pants as much as the fact that there aren't any women interested in giving him a blow job.
Instead, we have his daughters to provide the entertainment. A couple of alcoholic barfly sluts who roam the Mexican restaurants of Texas looking for anyone who will give them a drink on a fake ID in exchange for easy sex.

For starters means the FIRST reason. How you equate for starters as ONLY is something only you can understand. DUH!
Instead, we have his daughters to provide the entertainment.
If you ever have teenage children I'm sure they will be perfect just like you. But until then, keep this in mind. We elected Dubya, NOT his daughters stupid.

"For starters means the FIRST reason. How you equate for starters as ONLY is something only you can understand. DUH!"DUUUH to you, dumbshit.
Your own article says that Gore WOULD HAVE WON THE ELECTION if Clinton hadn't put his penis in Monica's mouth. That means that the only reason Dumbass got elected is because HE DIDN'T put his penis in Monica's mouth.
Not suprised that you can't think that far, dumbshit.
-- LOL (Ain't is dumber @ than. Dumbya's daughters), June 06, 2001.
I feel like I'm back in sixth grade. WOW! What next? I haven't heard: "My dad can beat up your dad!" in a while.LOL!
That means that the only reason Dumbass got elected is because HE DIDN'T..
No, that means Bob Boorstin, a campaign consultant for Mr Gore thinks so stupid!
DUH! Nany nany boo boo!

Missed my ass! I thought my tirades would have sent the cheezy stupid fucking repug packing so he would never come back. He is probably writing that transgender shit from another thread. Ain't - you got your head up your ass buddy! You got to get your mind off of Clinton's cock!
-- Tony Baloney (Fuck the@repugs.com), June 06, 2001.
Damn it Tony, get your sorry little ass off this forum and go to work before they fire you like the last time. If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a hundred times: YOU KEEP THIS UP AND NO CONVIENENCE STORE IN TOWN WILL HIRE YOU!!!Now get away from that keyboard and scramble out of here before my ‘company’ arrives for the evening…..see you when you get home at 7:30AM….and Tony, be as late as you wish…..and Tony, call first.
-- Mrs. Baloney (at@your.service), June 06, 2001.
Mrs. Baloney, could you tell us the story of how you and Mr. Baloney met. Keep it as clean as possible though.
-- jammy (jammin@with.jammy), June 06, 2001.
No!I’m so ashamed…….
But jammy, you sound like an ‘interesting’ fella. Does the name ‘jammy’ have any ‘special’ significance? Oh, did I say that? Too funny.
-- Mrs. Baloney (at@your.service), June 06, 2001.
I have a confession to make. I came home and caught "Mrs. Baloney" (bwaaaahaaaaa bwwaaaahaaaa) nekid with another man so I killed her. You won't be seeing any more messages from "Mrs. Baloney". Sorry you stupid fucking repugs. Lorelei where are you?
-- Tony Baloney (Fuck the@repugs.com), June 07, 2001.
“Lorelei where are you?”What in the hell are you talking about you nutless little weenie boy. Tony, I think these folks know by now that you don’t have the balls to do anything but babble on Internet forums from the safety of our basement. You notice that I didn’t even bother to ask Lorelei to leave when you called this morning.
That’s right Tony, that was another woman under the sheets with me this morning and you couldn’t even tell the difference. God, how could I have possibly married such a pathetic excuse of a man?
Get your ass out of the house and don’t bother coming back for a few days! And Tony, those people from NAMBLA keep calling about your past due membership fees. The guy that called yesterday threatened to exclude you from the annual ‘Camp Out With Uncle Carl’ weekend if your payment is not received by next Monday.
-- Mrs. Baloney (at@your.service), June 07, 2001.
Tony, I'm really sorry for acting like such a bitch. My medication wore off and I don't have enough money to afford the refills. I know you told me to stop spending it all on booze and hookers, but I guess I just don't listen. I'm sorry.
-- Mrs. Baloney (at@your.service), June 07, 2001.
I know I am such a cunt Tony. Its not that I don't love you, I really do. I just love fucking other men. Sorry Tony honey.
-- Mrs. Baloney (at@your.service), June 07, 2001.
Listen up you two phony cunts. I’m the only Mrs. Baloney on this forum so you two sluts will have to find your own name.Don’t make me come and see you!
-- Mrs. Baloney (at@your.service), June 07, 2001.
-- Ain't Gonna Happen, Guess what buddy, mentioning clintons cock just does not have the effect it used to have of changing the subject, hiding what is going on in government right NOW. That old stand by of bring it up is so old it has turned green. No longer does it have the effect of distracting the masses from what Bush is doing or what is happening today.The only one obsessed by it any more is you. The election is over, who cares what yet one more person's opinion of how Bush got into office is? No one. You say;
If you ever have teenage children I'm sure they will be perfect just like you. But until then, keep this in mind. We elected Dubya, NOT his daughters stupid. Ummm. WRONG. WE did NOT elect Dubya.
By the way, if you can get your head off of clintons cock, you might notice that the shit is hitting the fan and Dubya's little dictatorship is crumbling right before your eyes.
-- Cherri (jessam5@home.com), June 07, 2001.
I just wanted to apologize again for my behavior on this forum. I'm going to lay off all of the swearing and the name-calling, so if you see any of that, it's from one of the trolls, not me.
-- Mrs. Baloney (at@your.service), June 07, 2001.
I'm just kidding! I'm Tony Baloney's wife! I taught that asshole how to cuss! Look out for any trolls posting as me.
-- Mrs. Baloney (at@your.service), June 07, 2001.
Nice try, but I already said I was going to stop the swearing and the name-calling. Maybe you should try getting a new handle.
-- Mrs. Baloney (at@your.service), June 07, 2001.
Ditto! Thats exactly what I would say!
-- Mrs. Baloney (at@your.service), June 07, 2001.
By the way, if you can get your head off of clintons cockDon't tell me. Tell poor old Bob Boorstin from the Gore 2000 team sweetie. I mean as the article says, since the supreme court ruling, it's all poor Bob can think about nowadays.
That and how to get fat Al on a diet and a good treadmill.
The doctors say he is making progress and doesn't mumble to himself nearly as much as he used to. At least not when when he's eating.
As I understand it, they want to get fat Albert on a diet and treadmill before the 2004 campaign starts up. They do have their work cut out for them don't they!?
If you ever have teenage children I'm sure they will be perfect just like you. But until then, keep this in mind. We elected Dubya, NOT his daughters stupid. Ummm. WRONG. WE did NOT elect Dubya.
Oh yeah! Thats right! It was the electorial college with the help of the great state of Florida's legislature that did it. Can't thank 'em enough.
Bye for now! Big kiss!!
-- Ain't Gonna Happen (Not Here Not@ever.com), June 07, 2001.
Fat Al??Bwaaahahahaahaha!!
That's a good one dipshit!
If you wanna see a fat fuck just look at Dickhead Cheney. He wouldn't dare get on a treadmill, he'll croak! Gore could whoop ass on Dumbya's entire staff singlehanded.
-- (ain't is @ dumb. shit), June 07, 2001.
Gore could whoop ass on Dumbya's entire staff singlehanded.Super Fat Al?
The guy thats able to leap small children in line at McDonalds, for a bag of double quarter pounder sandwiches and fries?
More hot air than a locomotive?
Look! Up in the sky! NO....down on the floor eating his fries, it's Super Fat Al! The joke of the Democratic Party!!
ROFLMAO!

Err...that shoulda been The OTHER joke of the Democratic Party!!
-- Ain't Gonna Happen (Not Here Not@ever.com), June 07, 2001.
Speaking of a "dipshit", it's electoral NOT electorial.
-- (Right Here@Right.Now), June 07, 2001.
So much for ‘Al in 2004’. You won’t even recognize the boy.

"No, that means Bob Boorstin, a campaign consultant for Mr Gore thinks so stupid! DUH! Nany nany boo boo!"No, Ain't. What Bob Boorstin thinks is beside the point. Gore lost the election, GW won, that's it. Whether Bob Boorstin thinks Clinton's dick was to blame or the alignment of the planets and stars was to blame is totally beside the point.
"Don't tell me. Tell poor old Bob Boorstin from the Gore 2000 team sweetie. I mean as the article says, since the supreme court ruling, it's all poor Bob can think about nowadays."
You take one news story in which Mr. Boorstin is quoted, and from that you deduce that he can think of absolutely nothing else? Waitaminnit. You're actually Ken Decker, aren't you, Ain't?
"That and how to get fat Al on a diet and a good treadmill."
Whatever Mr. Boorstin's thinking about, I don't believe it is Gore's health and fitness. Are you for real?
"The doctors say he is making progress and doesn't mumble to himself nearly as much as he used to. At least not when when he's eating."
Yawn.
"As I understand it, they want to get fat Albert on a diet and treadmill before the 2004 campaign starts up. They do have their work cut out for them don't they!?"
Please cite your sources. I do not believe Gore will be fielded as a candidate in 2004. I fear that Hillary Clinton will be, much as it pains me to imagine.
"If you ever have teenage children I'm sure they will be perfect just like you. But until then, keep this in mind. We elected Dubya, NOT his daughters stupid. Ummm. WRONG. WE did NOT elect Dubya. Oh yeah! Thats right! It was the electorial college with the help of the great state of Florida's legislature that did it. Can't thank 'em enough."
Amazing. A stopped clock is right twice a day, and here Ain't has managed to stumble upon something that is correct. Now, for his next trick, Ain't will stumble into an open manhole.
"Super Fat Al? The guy thats able to leap small children in line at McDonalds, for a bag of double quarter pounder sandwiches and fries? More hot air than a locomotive? Look! Up in the sky! NO....down on the floor eating his fries, it's Super Fat Al! The joke of the Democratic Party!! ROFLMAO!"
If he's let himself go since the Inauguration, that's sad. But all things considered, I'd rather be fat than a drunk. Losing weight is easier than staying on the wagon. Fill in the name of your favorite drunk politician here.
