Al Gore's Son Busted!

Al Gore IIIAl Gore III, the 24-year-old son of Al Gore was arrested on suspicion of drug possession today. The former second-in-command's son was pulled over after allegedly driving his Prius 100 miles an hour down an Orange County freeway. (At least he was driving a Prius!) When deputies searched the car they found pot, along with Valium, Xanax, Vicodin and Adderall. He is currently being held at the Santa Ana Inmate Reception Center on $20,000 bail.

This isn't Gore III's first arrest. He was charged with marijuana possession in 2003 and was ticketed for reckless driving in 2000 and 2002.

47. wow. so many of you are really quite moronic. Gore's son is an adult, and we have to remember that if he act like an imbicile, he's not the one who ran for office. Global warming actually exists im sorry to tell you- i know it sucks, and it might seem like it is exaggerated but people seem to have a problem embracing the fact that they need to do something; humanity is lazy...

and remember Gore's opponent in the presidential elections>?

49. Gee, Demos go to pot, and the GOP goes to Booze, remember the twins of Bush. Booze girls, now pot boy. This means that these people have normal children. It happens to all parents, their kids screw up. Does not make either couple The Bush family or the Gore family. I have teenagers, and understand, don't appove, but understand.

50. Only the Clintons lie more than al gore, but now he has no excuse for his son. Again he is doing this that he has for years. A chip of the old block. He did not fall far from the family tree and lies like his dad. Thank God the we did not elect this person president with a son like him.

51. So sad because Gore was getting momentum to run - and Clinton stole his thunder when he slept with monica lewinsky and tainted the dems......now his son ruined his chances and poor tipper will be tipsy tonight (and all her hard work ironically to quash rock music lyrics - then what got her son on drugs, booze and pot? listening to the partridge family or the wiggles?). Ironically Bill and Hill are in Iowa campaigning with 70,000 people while Al is bailing out his son!

52. I wish the grammar & spelling Nazis would take the day off. It is a holiday!

53. It's painfully obvious who is to blame here.
ROCK MUSIC!

Yes, indeed.

This isn't little Al's fault.
It's Motley Crue's fault!

Oh the humanity....

55. Apparently after all of Tippers hard work getting parental adversories on CD covers she must have not been around for any drug talks with her son.

Funny how some parents spend so much time telling YOU how to parent they forget to check their own back yards.

57. Son:

Why oh why must you be embarrassing me in front of all the world! I know I claimed to invent the internet and was a big old baby about the election.. but come on!

I heard too that Paris Hilton returned from Hawaii and is having parties at one of her lovely estates. I heard you I wanted to go party with the blonde heiress too but your momma said NO!

But speeing 100 miles an hour to go see her oh my! That is not right.. the tax payers will be upset.... I will have to say you got in trouble so the American public doesn't get upset.

I know you wouldn't do so well in jail.. so you can hang around some political office and get off easy on community service!

Hide the drugs next time ok!

Cheers,
Your papa

58. It'll be interesting to see how older Al Gore reacts to this. I think we'll get a true undiluted measure of who the real Al Gore is here. Will he try to pull a paris hilton parents move (hire the heavy hitter attorney, deny everything, pull all sorts of legal moves & manuevers), or will he simply be a parent & support his kid but let justice be served? Maybe more than anything, this will tell us who he really is...

59. Lil Al...."hmmmmmmmm....now just how do I go about redeeming those phony carbon credits for this??"

60. Wow, I had no idea a prius could go a 100 mph.
Too bad the Bush twins we're riding along in the back seat. That would have been a perfect reminder of what it means to be young and rich in America today.
