Al Gore and wife Tipper are separating:

Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, are separating after 40 years of marriage.

According to an email circulated among the couple’s friends and obtained by the Associated Press on Tuesday, the Gores said it was “a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration.”

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the Gores but declined to comment further.

I swear to God if I find out he has some young thing waiting in the wings, I am turning on every air conditioner, light bulb, and television in my house. Carbon footprint be damned.
