Tipper Gore Sings with Tiny Tim's Son

Al Gore became inconvenient in bed, Tipper claims

Parody, June 1, 2010

Former second lady Tipper Gore ditched her husband Al after 40 years of marriage to launch a new career singing in a band with Big Timmy II, son of deceased Tiny Tim. They plan to release a new CD next month called Tipper Through the Tulips.

"After Bush2 stole the presidency from us in 2000, Al became scruffy and inconvenient in bed," Tipper claimed. "He tried to counter global warming with romantic cooling. The plan failed, at least for me." Their last juicy kiss happened at the 2000 Democratic National Convention, Tipper said.

She and Big Timmy II will also release a remake of Tippy, Tippy, Tin, a jazz tune from 1940.

In 1985, Ms. Gore co-founded the Parents Music Resource Center, which sought parental warning labels on music with sexually explicit lyrics. After the late Frank Zappa criticized her efforts to curtail musical freedom, Tipper grabbed drumsticks and played percussion and sang backup with Zappa's daughter Diva in 1999.

Al Gore won a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his movie, An Inconvenient Truth, because the film was found to be more sleep-inducing than over-the-counter medications. Played over loudspeakers in strife-torn Third World countries, the film could induce lasting peace and tranquility. Al has been seen recently in the company of Monica Lewinsky. "Her blue dress makes me feel hopeful about the future of humanity," Al said. "After all, she has 'sky' in her name."

To fund their upcoming divorce, the Gores will publish a revision of their jointly authored book of 2002 entitled "Joined at the Heart." The second edition will be titled "Separated at the Crotch, the Gory Details."
