The National Enquirer has struck again in the Al Gore Sex Attack Scandal.

Ahead of the print edition of the Enquirer hitting big city newsstands tomorrow morning, the Enquirer’s website has just released it’s latest Al Gore Sex Attack bombshell: the tabloid has the evidence to prove the former VP is a “pervert and sexual predator.”

AL GORE SEX SCANDAL ACCUSER reveals shocking NEW EVIDENCE  — ONLY to the NATIONAL ENQUIRER in a bombshell world exclusive interview!

“AL GORE is a pervert and sexual predator,” declares MOLLY HAGERTY, 54, the massage therapist who told Portland, Ore. police that the ex-VICE President sexually assaulted her.

“He’s not what people think he is – he’s a sick man!”

The image on the Enquirer’s latest cover says that the tabloid has “DNA testing, video evidence and key witnesses” to back up the claim from the Portland masseuse who filed a police report about he incident in 2007.

Things have been heating up for Al Gore this past week–and it has nothing to do with man-made climate change.

Tomorrow marks Week Two in the Al Gore Sex Scandal, as presented by the National Enquirer.  With the Enquirer publishing five stories this past week on the story it headlined as the “Al Gore Sex Attack,” one suspects that the tabloid isn’t quite finished yet with the “Father of the Internet.”

For readers who are unfamiliar with the story, a little background, courtesy of the July 6, 2010 issue of the National Enquirer:

ENQUIRER WORLD EXCLUSIVE: AL GORE has been accused of sexually attacking a masseuse in Portland, Oregon – and is named in the official police report about the alleged assault, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively!

The bombshell story will appear in the new issue of The ENQUIRER and will include the secret police documents, a photo of the woman making the stunning charges and will reveal the shocking details about the pants she saved as evidence!

Over the next 48 hours, the Enquirer released more damning details about the incident–including a copy of the 70+ pages of the Portland police report.

We have verified the 62-year-old former VP was in Portland at the time of the alleged incident – Oct. 24, 2006 – and we saw the $540 massage bill.

No criminal charges were brought against Gore, but the Portland police prepared a document marked “Confidential Special Report” – which records the explosive allegations of “unwanted sexual contact” by Al Gore “at a local upscale hotel.”

But the supermarket staple wasn’t finished with the former VP–the Enquirer kept referring to Gore as the “former VICE”–and they piled it on throughout the last week.  First, more details of the assault.  Then the audiotape of the accuser’s interview with the police.  In it, she called Gore a “sex-crazed poodle,” a phrase that’s now entered the media lexicon, alongside “carbon credits” and “global warming.”

Yesterday, the Enquirer finished the first week with the revelation that Al and Tipper Gore had recently made some curious real estate moves.

A month after scoring their new palatial Montecito estate, Al and Tipper transferred nine properties the wealthy Gores own in Carthage, Tennessee from their own names into a limited liability company (LLP) -  a corporate partnership which, legally, is a separate entity.

According to legal docs filed in Tennessee, the transfer of ownership occurred after the accuser in the AL GORE SEX SCANDAL filed a 2009 police complaint accusing the ex-VICE of sexual misconduct.

A real estate insider told The ENQUIRER that such a transfer of ownership protects the valuable assets in potential legal claims.  A limited liability partnership, like a corporation, is a completely separate entity and can not be liable as an asset if someone files personal lawsuits against either Gore.

By releasing the information on Gore in the familiar Enquirer version of the Chinese water torture, the tabloid ensured that there would be a steady drip-drip-drip of news to fill the week between issues–and to excite the interest of any media that wanted to jump in on the story.  Unlike the John Edwards Scandal, there were plenty of Mainstream Media takers this time around.

Yesterday, Al Gore was in San Diego to deliver a speech and not only ducked out without taking any questions, his security detail removed television cameras from the site before Gore mounted the podium.

Speculation about how much more the National Enquirer still has on Gore has centered around whether the tabloid has found other women to come forward with stories similar to that of the Portland masseuse.  As one emailer put it:

Gore’s actions in the police report are those of someone who’s done this type of thing before.  I wouldn’t be surprised if the Enquirer stories prompts some of those women to now come forward.

There’s also been some questions about how the Enquirer could have scooped the masseuse’s hometown newspaper, the Portland Tribune.  The American Spectator’s Jeffrey Lord says it because of the Democrat-Media protection racket.

The Al Gore police report is disturbing.

To be specific, it’s 67 pages of the quite graphically disturbing, as posted here by Red State.

You are reading the news of this police report — originally filed in October of 2006 — only because the National Enquirer scooped the story. In June of 2010. You did not read it in the Portland Tribune, which has been on this story since 2007 and failed to tell its readers until the Enquirer broke the story. The Tribune’s explanation for this is to be found here.

Lord says the Enquirer “scooped” the Portland Tribune, but is it a scoop when one party buries the story?  To accomplish their scoop, all the Enquirer had to do was learn of the police report, verify it and then print it–over two years after the Tribune first learned of the police report.

Lord doesn’t buy the Tribune’s excuse for sitting on the story after it learned of a local police report that contained the words “Al Gore” and “Sex Abuse III.”

The question here is why didn’t the Portland Tribune publish what they had? Well, says the paper, all they had was an unverified police report. What is missed here is that a police report on a former Vice President of the United States — a man who has emerged even in political defeat as one of the most listened to voices on the planet on environmental issues and global warming — existed. The report itself existed. It was fact. And hence news.

The Tribune’s loss is the National Enquirer’s–and the entire news-consuming public–gain.

Meanwhile, there remain an inconvenient number of questions.  Are there other women with Gore-y stories?  Does the National Enquirer have them lined up and ready to go?  Will Al Gore continue to duck the press?  Will the Mainstream Media let him?

We have less than 24 hours to wait.
