CNN.com was in such a rush to post a story on Al and Tipper Gore’s separation that they inadvertently revealed Al’s e-mail address in the process.
From WebNewser
When it comes to emails, mistakes happen all the time. But very rarely do they involve former Vice Presidents of the United States.
So it was quite surprising to see CNN.com inadvertently reveal the email address of Al and Tipper Gore Tuesday afternoon.
“Our intention was to keep the email address confidential, and CNN corrected the online post as soon as we discovered the error,” a CNN spokesperson told WebNewser.
So what happened? CNN.com today posted a story about Al and Tipper Gore’s separation. The story included a link to a PDF of the email the Gores sent to friends. While the email address was blacked out in the PDF, clicking on the black bar opened the user’s preferred email client, revealing the address used to send the note.
As the spokesperson noted, CNN has since changed the article to remove the offending PDF, but it was still online for nearly two hours, likely attracting thousands of clicks.
The email is pictured below, with the email address dutifully obscured, even when you click on it. See how easy it is guys?
What I want to know is did anyone manage to obtain Gore’s e-mail address and if so what is it?

4 Comments for Oops! CNN.com Reveals Gore’s E-mail Address
When people change our lives drastically as AlGore has, they need to make their email addresses available to the public so we have a fair chance to make our opinions known.
Gore owes us this since he has altered our lives without being consulted.
I’m not a fan of Gore – I voted against him every chance I could. But I do believe that he doesn’t owe you anything – and certainly not his email address. If you want to be heard, I’d encourage you to further embrace public forums like this. Or embrace free speech and start a newsletter or your own political party. Or embrace capitalism and start a business that becomes your bullhorn for outrage.
You really believe that he has altered your life? If that happened while in office, sure – call the White House switchboard and ask to speak to the VP. Public servants DO owe you that line of communication. But once W. left D.C., you could no longer expect him to do something about what’s happening in Iraq or on Wall Street. The politician is no longer empowered.
If you’ve let Gore’s “green” stuff, or any other public interest he has, affect you to the point you feel entitled to his personal contact info, maybe you need to take a good look at how much media you’re consuming.
Most people can figure out a “Famous” person’s E-M after enough tries.
Al “I invented the Internet” Gore will probably have to change his E-mail after his Hi-price divorce lawyer tells him to,so the “Woman scorned”Tipper
will have to use the old fashioned way to find Al,,the telephone.After all,isn’t that the image she portrayed all these years?? Back when Al”I am not a liar” Gore & Tipper got married,I’ll bet you my next check that they did NOT have a Pre-Nup aggreement. I believe she is going to get a powerful Hollywood type divorce lawyer & take Al for all he’s worth.Then she’ll change HER e-mail so he can’t get ahold of her. If she loses all of that money & homes ( you know the ones,that use more juice than a small city),,I believe she will write a TELL-ALL book & sink his ambition to be the 1st ‘green’(it’s a scam) billionaire.
He makes so much dough,,why does he NOT have an E-mail site STAFFED by so many of his Cranium-up-their-Rectums “Volunteers” (He’s CHEAP) so they can read the e-m’s & reply to the gullible in a standard reply letter,that will dazzle them with his Genius,after all he went to Harvard too,didn’t he
“What I want to know is did anyone manage to obtain Gore’s e-mail address and if so what is it?”
You’re asking people to post his email address?
I love AIM, but this is too close to tabloid journalism. Stay classy, guys.
