Page Six says masseuse will put Gore grope on Page One for $1m

Sources tell Page Six the so-far unidentified Oregon woman is ready to publicly reveal herself and heap more embarrassment on the former vice president in return for a seven-figure media deal. And she intends to use the pants she wore on the night of the alleged incident -- supposedly stained with Gore's DNA and stored in a bank safety-deposit box -- as evidence against Gore, who recently split with wife Tipper.

A source told us, "She's ready to come forward and sell the story with even more salacious details. But she wants $1 million. Her attorney is shopping for a deal, and while there are many media outlets interested, there are negotiations going on because the price tag is way too high."

The woman filed a police statement accusing Gore of sexual "abuse" after a massage at Portland's Hotel Lucia in October 2006. The statement described how during the session, he allegedly "began to demand that I go lower . . . It appeared that he was demanding sexual favors or sexual behaviors." She claimed he "angrily complained that I was not doing what he wanted."

She alleged, "He grabbed my right hand hard, shoved it down under the sheet to his pubic-hair area . . . and said to me, 'There!' in a very sharp, loud, angry-sounding tone."

She added, "He had a dramatic display of violent temper as well as an extremely dictatorial commanding attitude besides his Mr. Smiley Global Warming concern persona. I did not want to get hurt, and I did not want to get raped."

Portland police say the investigation was dropped because "there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations" and the woman declined to seek prosecution.

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider, who declined to comment after The Enquirer broke the story earlier this week, did not get back to us last night.
