Ticketgate - OK, perhaps that's an exaggeration - as may be Lloyd Grove's claim in this article that "Former vice president Al Gore's long and grueling comeback hit a speed bump yesterday -- well, more like an elephant abruptly crossing the road -- with Foxnews.com gossip Roger Friedman's report that Tipper Gore used her VIP status in a failed attempt to cadge free Bruce Springsteen tickets".

Still, it's always fun when two of my favorite diversions - politics and Springsteen - come conveniently packaged together.
