AlGore the Junior, Tennessee's noted slumlord, inflicts his squalor on disabled Dems: "I've been offered homes if I moved to New York City. I've been offered a Republican attorney to sue Al Gore for $10 million," said the longtime Democrat. "But I don't want his money. I don't want new homes. I don't want to relocate to New York." Mrs. Mayberry said all she ever wanted was a decent home for her family. She said she still believes what she was told by her property managers when she first received the eviction notice ? that Mr. Gore wanted the Mayberrys out of the house to make room for the Secret Service.... Before going public with complaints about her famous landlord, Mrs. Mayberry said she was routinely brushed off by Mr. Gore's property managers, who told her any repairs to her rented house had to be approved personally by the vice president. So Mrs. Mayberry now doubts Mr. Gore's assertion that he knew nothing about the unsanitary conditions at the house, on the edge of his 80-acre estate, until they were exposed by a local Nashville television station on Friday. "I believe he had knowledge of the problems but was putting them off because of the election," Mrs. Mayberry told The Washington Times during a tour of her home yesterday. "Somebody had to know something." But Mr. Gore said that isn't so. Asked by reporters about being called a "slumlord" by Mrs. Mayberry, the vice president said: "I heard there was a problem. I took action to make sure that it will be solved. And it will be." To that end, Mr. Gore yesterday dispatched a platoon of plumbers and repairmen to the house, where they removed the toilet and began snaking out clogged septic lines..... Mr. Mayberry, who previously lived in a cramped trailer with his wife and five of their children, became especially anxious when he was informed last week he was being evicted by Gore Realty. "I don't want to move back to a trailer," Mr. Mayberry said yesterday. Mr. Gore nixed the eviction after it went public and offered to move the family into a temporary house while their home is renovated. But it now appears the Mayberrys will be allowed to remain in the home as workers make the repairs....washtimes.com
