Remember when Al Gore mauled Tipper in the 2000 presidential campaign, during that awkward, clumsy, and drawn-out kiss? His outburst of manly exuberance was something short of the romantic ideal one might expect from the man so in love with all things planetary.

Apparently, that's his style. In the embarrassing saga of masseuse-gate, a 73-page police report was just released. In it, masseuse Molly Hagerty--the woman, as Claire pointed out, who accused Gore of sexual assault--gives her take on what happened that autumn night in 2006 when she was called into a hotel in Portland Oregon to give the Nobel Prize and Oscar Award winning vice president the respect his libidinous torso deserved.

Here's Gore as seductor, via Byron York:

The masseuse asked Gore what he wanted. "He grabbed my right hand, shoved it down under the sheet to his pubic hair area, my fingers brushing against his penis," she recalled, "and said to me, 'There!' in a very sharp, loud, angry-sounding tone." When she pulled back, Gore "angrily raged" and "bellowed" at her.

Then, abruptly, the former vice president changed tone. It was "as though he had very suddenly switched personalities," she recalled, "and began in a pleading tone, pleading for release of his second chakra there."

 In new age speak, second chakra is jargon for the "energy center" located in the lower abdomen and associated with passion. Gore was looking for a sexual release. But that might not be the most pathetic part of this tale. That distinction is reserved for this:

The accuser said Gore maneuvered her into the bedroom. His iPod docking station was there, he told her, and he wanted her to listen to "Dear Mr. President," a lachrymose attack on George W. Bush by the singer Pink.

"As soon as he had it playing, he turned to me and immediately flipped me flat on my back and threw his whole body face down over atop of me," she said. "I was just shocked at his craziness."

Wow. Just wow.

Maybe the whole thing is just an attempt to establish his Democratic Party "cred" to make a 2012 run: "I did not have 'suh-hexual' relations..."

If you read this story about nine and a half years ago...nevermind.

From: Gore blamed Clinton for his defeat in election, UK Telegraph, By Ben Fenton, Feb 8, 2001

BILL CLINTON and Al Gore clashed in a "tense and blunt" showdown when they argued over the reasons for the former vice-president's defeat in last November's presidential election, it emerged yesterday. Mr Gore "forcefully" blamed the former president for his loss, saying that the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal and the low esteem in which voters held Mr Clinton had proved serious obstacles to his campaign. [...] Many Clinton supporters believe that the vice-president had a mental block about the man he was trying to succeed in the White House, making it clear he was uncomfortable with any level of involvement by the president in his campaign. Tipper Gore, the candidate's wife, was said to be particularly angry with Mr Clinton's "betrayal".
