Sarah Gore -- Daughter of Al -- Marries Bill Lee

The last of the Gore daughters has been married off.

Sarah is the third youngest child of Al and Tipper Gore. Their oldest daughter, Karenna, 34, is married to Drew Schiff. Kristin Gore, 30, is married to Paul Cusack. Al Gore III, 24, is single and lives in Los Angeles.

Al Junior (the 3rd actually) -- the only son -- is still eligible.
Notice that I refrained from commenting on Paul Cusack’s name, given my love for John Cusack? I’m a master of self-control today.

Anyway.

I wonder if Sarah’s new husband, Bill Lee, when asked his name, has people stumped, thinking that he’s saying “Billy” with no last name.

I also wonder if Sarah will continue using her maiden name -- Sarah Gore -- or if she’ll now be known as Sarah Lee. If the latter, she’ll have to learn how to bake.

The gift I’m giving them: A couple of shares in this company. Duh!

   When Sara met Bill

   by Dan Bloom

   When news reports in the U.S. recently reported that Al Gore's
   daughter Sarah Gore had married Taiwanese-American businessman Bill
   Lee in a California ceremony attended by both the Lee and Gore
   families, the local media in Taiwan took the news as a happy omen. But
   a racist comment appeared on an Internet chatroom in the U.S. just
   after the wedding that read: "Al Gore's daughter is marrying a chink?
   Boy, that is one Inconvenient Truth."

   For readers here who might not be familiar with the insult, the word
   "chink" is a derogatory word for people of Chinese or Taiwanese origin
   in the U.S.

   It is indeed sad that racism still flourishes in that democracy
   overseas. It's also interesting to note that none of the news reports
   about the marriage that originated in the U.S. mentioned that Lee's
   family was originally from Taiwan. In a way, this shows the bright
   side of America, and how multicultural the U.S. has become, so that
   none of the wire services or gossip magazines felt a need to mention
   the ethnicity of Bill Lee.

   The 36-year-old Bill Lee (李威廉) is an American whose parents emigrated
   from Taiwan, and his father, Lee Chin-mu (李清木), told reporters after
   the wedding that he is happy to be related to the Gore family via his
   son's marriage. Apparently, the couple met during a screening of
   Gore's popular movie about global warming titled "An Inconvenient
   Truth", according to a report in People magazine. In addition, Sarah
   Gore, a 28-year-old medical student in San Francisco, has taken the
   name of her husband as her last name, the magazine said.

   Lee Chin-mu, who is a professor of
   medicine in the U.S., hails from Tainan County and moved to the U.S.
   soon after graduating from the medical school of National Taiwan
   University, the media in Taiwan reported.

   Sarah Gore first met her future husband at a function for her
   father's Oscar-winning environmental documentary, "An Inconvenient
   Truth", the magazine added, noting that the movie's executive producer
   Jeff Skoll served as
   best man at the wedding.

   "As one person joked during the wedding toasts, global warming helped
   bring Sarah and Bill together," a family friend told People.

   What does this marriage of the Lee and Gore families mean for Taiwan?
   It will probably lead to more news reports here about Al Gore's work
   on global warming, and more invitations by environmental groups asking
   Gore to give some lectures here and raise public awareness about
   global warming in the future.

   Other than that, the news was a normal "boy meets girl, girl marries
   boy" story uniting two families in the U.S., with an small but
   interesting sidebar about the connection to Taiwan.
