A VERY INCONVENIENT TRUTH



Al Gore III, the only son of former VP Al Gore II, has been arrested again, this time in Southern California for driving over 100mph on the San Diego freeway. During the traffic stop of Mr. Gore's Pruis, police officers detected the strong odor of marijuana, which Mr. Gore admitted smoking recently.

A subsequent search of his vehicle found other drugs as well, Valium, Vicadin, Xanax and Adderall, all of which he had no legal prescription to possess.

This is not Mr. Gore's first run in with the law. In 1997, as a minor he was clocked driving 97mph. In 2000, he was observed driving 94 mph, and cited in North Carolina. In 2002, he was stopped in Virginia driving 97mph and was arrested for driving under the influence. In 2003, he was pulled over for failure to turn on the headlights on his mothers Cadillac, and was arrested for possession of marijuana (he claimed he had not smoked pot for at least four hours and was just pulling out of a parking structure, and had not yet turned on his lights). He now faces possession of illegal drugs and driving under the influence.

Gore lives in Southern California where he is an associate publisher for GOOD magazine, a self described magazine as "media for those who give a damn." No comment from the former Vice President, who is currently traveling back to the U.S. from Europe.

LMAO I was thinking the same thing. Possibly Al III had some uppers for the car, and a whole assortment of downers for himself.
Talk about your children in crisis.....obviously, Al III has some sort of psychiatric need, to do the same thing over and over and over. He obviously cannot help himself.
There has been trouble with the Bush children with drinking (following in their dad's footsteps with his DUI). Cheney's kid seems find, she has a new baby, and seemingly happy, if you can get past the the fact that she is gay (which he may, or may not be able to).
That pretty much leaves Chelsea, who seems reletively unscathed from the up and down media circus her dad put her through. Of course, Al does have daughters who seem to be able to escape the media spotlight.
Life in a fishbowl.
