Second Witness Backs Gore Biker-Gang
Story
Win or lose in today's election contest, Vice
President Al Gore will likely rue the day he
sent his minions forward to smear Texas Gov.
George Bush over a 24-year-old drunk driving
arrest.
Because ever since that news exploded last
Thursday, Tennessee talk radio host Phil
Valentine has been having a field day with a
bizarre companion story, one that has Gore
drinking, doping and doing the wild thing with a
Nashville motorcycle gang in 1971 while
supposedly on assignment as an investigative
reporter.
On Friday, Valentine introduced his WLAC-AM
audience to Pastor Ray Hudson, a former member
of the Death Angels, who claimed to be outraged
that the Democrats would stoop so low as to
attack Bush for the ancient DUI arrest.
That's why he was coming forward with his own
account of Al Gore's wild night, Hudson said, an
evening that included boozing, pot smoking and
sleeping with one of the gang's "biker chicks."
There's no question that Gore spent some time in
the gang's company, since Valentine has obtained
his November 1971 report on the experience for
Nashville's Tennessean newspaper.
And while Gore didn't admit in print to some of
the more dicey details Hudson describes, the
ex-biker's story got bumped up the credibility
scale on Monday, when another one-time Death
Angel, Scott Jenette, corroborated Hudson's
account on Valentine's show:
VALENTINE: Have you heard all this hoopla around
this night of debauchery that Al Gore was
supposedly involved in?
JENETTE: (CHUCKLES) Yeah, well, the night of
debauchery wasn't, you know, it was just normal
back then. It was a wilder time. What can I say?
VALENTINE: Now, you're not in the motorcycle
gang anymore, right?
JENETTE: I still ride. I've been riding for over
30 years.
VALENTINE: All right, were you there on the
night that Al Gore came and did the interview?
JENETTE: Oh, yeah. I'm in the photograph [the
one taken for Al Gore's piece in the Tennessean]
so what can I tell you?
VALENTINE: Now, Ray Hudson, who was Buzzard,
says that Al Gore was smokin' dope, fired off a
firearm at a piece of molding that you had above
the door, and went back and bedded a biker babe.
Is that true?
JENETTE: Yeah, well, part of it's true. He
didn't fire off the firearm. I did.
VALENTINE: Oh, you fired off the firearm.
JENETTE: Yeah.
VALENTINE: Well, how about the dope and the
biker babe?
JENETTE: It's true.
VALENTINE: It's true?
JENETTE: Yeah.
VALENTINE: OK.
JENETTE: Yeah, I can give you the girl's name.
It was Allison. I'm not gonna give you her last
name. I mean, you know, that was 30 years ago
and she's married and got kiddies, you know.
VALENTINE: So, it's true Al Gore, as a married
man, went in the back and had his way with her.
Now, you don't know exactly what went on behind
closed doors, or do you?
JENETTE: (CHUCKLES) Well, let's just say that
Mr. Gore is, uh, you know, he's come a long way
and things were a little different 30 years ago.
I mean, if he can live with it, I can certainly
live with it. I'm sure Allison can live with it.
It was just something that went down when it
went down. In the context and the time frame and
the moral attitudes of that day, which are
radically different now. Of course, they were
radically different from our parents of the
'50s, so, you know, you kinda have to take
things in the context. Morally is it ethical? We
can nitpick it to pieces.
VALENTINE: What I've gotten from all these
people who've called me about this over the
weekend, they say, 'There's no corroborating
source. It's just one guy.' And now there are
two guys.
Both Hudson and Jenette have told Valentine that
still another source may be able to confirm the
story - country music singing star David Allan
Coe. Coe was a member of the Death Angels at the
time, say the two ex-gang members, and was
present on the night in question.

Tennessee Radio Host Claims Gore Hiding Arrest Record
On Friday Vice President Al Gore told Tennessee's KCCI-TV that he'd never been arrested for drunk driving.
"Absolutely not," Gore said. "I've had speeding tickets, but no. Absolutely not."
Apparently the veep told the truth about not being arrested for DUI. But WREC AM Memphis talk show host Mike Fleming says there's more to the "speeding ticket" story than meets the eye.
According to a Tennessee government source who Fleming describes as "unimpeachable," Gore was not just ticketed for speeding, he was arrested. And then he was arrested a second time for reckless driving.
"It happened near his home in Carthage, Tennessee, in the late 1960s," Fleming told NewsMax.com Monday. "Not only did they arrest him twice, Gore tried to get away from them once."
Fleming's source says Gore was driving a Corvette at the time and he "took out about seventy feet of fence row" while on the run from the cops.
Fleming went public with the info on his radio show Friday afternoon, going so far as to name the two Tennessee Highway Patrol arresting officers - Capt. Ralph Swift and Officer R.C. Overstreet.
Since his report, Fleming has had several inquiries from mainstream press outlets. But so far, no one has picked up the story.
Calls by NewsMax.com to Capt. Swift and Officer Overstreet have yet to be returned. But when apprised of the subject of our inquiry, a secretary in Swift's Highway Patrol office seemed to know about the incident.
"Oh yes," she said. "Capt. Swift will have to get back to you about that."

Well, it's obvious that he was just doing his job if he was on assignment (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Anyways, whatever I said about Mr. Bush and his past (in that other thread I posted) also applies to Mr. Gore.
