| The
following is a transcript of the exclusive interview with
former Death Angels motorcycle gang member, Scott Jenette.
He is the second eyewitness to come forward and confirm Al
Gore's night of drugs and cheating which was first reported
on The Phil Valentine Show on Friday (November 3, 2000). Valentine
took the call without screening it first, in the interest
of fairness. "I didn't know what he was going to say,"
Valentine said. "I saw his name on the screen and a note
that he was present at the incident in question. He could've
come on and blasted Ray Hudson (the biker-turned-minister
who first came forward with the story). I wanted to let the
chips fall where they may."
Jenette
went by the handle Bagpipes during his gang days. The following
conversation took place on election eve, Monday November
6th.
VALENTINE:
Have you heard all this hoopla around this night of debachery
that Al Gore was supposedly involved in?
JENETTE:
(CHUCKLES) Yeah, well, the night of debachery 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 knit pick 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.
Jenette
also told Valentine that there were several others who could
confirm the story including singer David Allan Coe
