Could Al Gore Possibly be an Unfaithful Husband?

The rumors are that Al Gore has been having an affair with Laurie David. I just don't see how this could be true. From the story:

"Al and Laurie went from friends to lovers," Star quotes an unnamed insider as saying. "It couldn't be avoided."

Well, see now, looking at Laurie David, I think I could have avoided it.

In fact, if the rumors are true, they both traded down.
