BUSH DID IT!!
BUSH MADE HIM DO IT!!!
Or, maybe the pressures of the Myth of Global Warming did it.
LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. - Al Gore’s son was arrested early Wednesday on suspicion of possessing marijuana and prescription drugs after deputies pulled him over for speeding, authorities said.
Al Gore III
Al Gore III, 24, was driving a blue Toyota Prius about 100 mph on the San Diego Freeway when he was pulled over at about 2:15 a.m., Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jim Amormino said.
The deputies said they smelled marijuana and searched the car, Amormino said. They found less than an ounce of marijuana along with Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and Adderall, which is used for attention deficit disorder, he said.
“He does not have a prescription for any of those drugs,” Amormino said.
Gore was being held in the men’s central jail in Santa Ana on $20,000 bail.
Kalee Kreider, a spokeswoman for his parents, did not immediately return phone messages to The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The son of the former vice president and Democratic presidential nominee also was pulled over and arrested for pot possession in December 2003, in Bethesda, Md., while he was a student at Harvard University.
He completed substance abuse counseling as part of a pretrial diversion program to settle those charges.
The youngest of Al and Tipper Gore’s four children and their only son, Gore lives in Los Angeles and is an associate publisher of GOOD, a magazine about philanthropy aimed at young people.
He was also driving 100 MPH from what I understand. This kid needs rehab before he kills someone. I didn’t know those hybrids could go so fast. Learn something new everyday.
“He does not have a prescription for any of those drugs”…. hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Just doing his part to stay ‘cool’ and defeat global warming.
His daddy is a tobaccky farmer ya know, this is just the next generation doing his thing, looking for a new niche market to fill. (while doing market analysis and research)
Alas. All is well. For a Democrat, this is about par and OK. Double Standards, you see.
No doubt his substance abuse counseling was completed in the Kennedy Wing of the Mayo Clinic.
If Rush Limbaugh were caught holding what young Gore was, he would have been in jail for a long time, along with major headlines for days about it. My guess is the lamestream media will forget this by tomorrow.
True, this would have been a huge scandal if it were anyone on the right doing it.
I answered this thread on Snoopers old blog.
It will be interesting to see if as much is made over this as was made over Limbaugh’s (who had a very classy response to this BTW) use of prescribed drugs.
And I wonder if any enterprising reporters will dig up the stories on Algore’s daily use of pot….
