That is what some people were telling the woman who alleges that Al Gore sexually assaulted her:

I asked a bunch of women in my community how they felt about the Al Gore news, and they said perplexing victim-blaming things such as “She was in her 50s. Doesn’t he know menopausal women aren’t horny?” And, “How did she not know that a request for a three-hour massage at 10:30 p.m. is code for ‘the guy wants a hooker?” A couple of women cracked jokes: “After she rejected him, did he Tip-per?”

The greenest of the green people I talked to felt betrayed. Gore was their leader and the movement is now, um, stained. The woman even said, according to the transcript of her interview with Portland, Ore., police made public on the Internet, that her “Birkenstock Tribe” friends told her to “suck it up” and not tell anyone or the “world’s going to be destroyed from global warming” …

The most interesting issue for me, however, is the way nobody seems to be calling woman a liar … I believe her account.  [via Tim Blair]

What I really find interesting about the whole issue with Al Gore allegedly cheating on his wife and sexually assaulting a woman is how little media attention it is getting compared to the treatment Tiger Woods got.  Al Gore is just as much of a big name as Tiger Woods, so where is the breathless round the clock media coverage?
