Report: Al Gore's Son Arrested Again for DUI
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,288047,00.html

Al Gore III, son of the former vice president, was arrested in California early Wednesday morning for driving under the influence of drugs.

Gore III was allegedly driving at speeds over 100 mph when he was pulled over in Laguna Hills in Orange County, Calif., south of Los Angeles. Police found marijuana and prescription drugs Xanax, Vicodin and Soma, public information officer Jim Armonino told KTTV in Los Angeles. Gore supposedly had no prescriptions for the pharmaceuticals.

Gore, 24, was being held in the men's jail in Santa Ana. This is the second time he was arrested on a marijuana possession charge. Police in Montgomery County, Md., pulled over Gore in December 2003 and noticed the smell of pot and open windows and sunroof despite the freezing temperature.

Gore and his two male passengers at the time were charged with a misdemeanor count of possession of marijuana and released. Gore was also ticketed for reckless driving by North Carolina police in August 2000, and military police arrested him for drunk driving near a military base in Virginia in September 2002.

Sounds like Young Al may have more in common with Geroge W. Bush than with his own father...

Andrew

This reflects badly on Al Gore. What kind of father raises his son to do these criminal acts? Does Al Gore also have problem with drugs like his son? Thank God he's not president.

Andrew, I don't recall Bush ever leading the police on a high speed chase. I don't recall the police finding drugs in his car.

Do you recall any probelms with the Bush twins? And DD, while you are here, do you believe Bush Jr. ever broke the law? Possibly, say, used cocaine? I'm asking what you believe. How does that reflect on Bush Sr.?

I will say that it's NOT some bullshit charge that Gore III is getting nailed on. It's VERY serious. He blew it. He'd best take his lumps.

Or maybe Bush will pardon him. Because, you know, Bush has such a sharp legal mind...I mean power. He's got power. He should pardon him.

Yeah.

"Andrew, I don't recall Bush ever leading the police on a high speed chase."

Me either. What's your point? Gore III didn't do that.

"What kind of father raises his son to do these criminal acts?"

George HW Bush raised his son to be a drunk driver.

DD-It boggles my mind how you associate what Al the 3rd did as a complete failure of Al Sr. His son is 24 years old, which makes him an adult (in case you had any doubts).

But since you have never indicated if you have kids of your own, and I'll assume you don't, I just can't take anything you say about raising kids with any kind of prudence.

Al Jr. the 3rd has made some mistakes and needs to learn from them. If he actually takes responsibility for his actions he'll be a better person for it.

But since DD you are sinless I guess we all need to be more like you right?

Of the crimes committed by a jr. I would take marijuana possession each and every day, over the war crimes committed by GWB et all.

Yeah, thank god we have a guy who was arrested for drunk driving (and later lied about it) and refused to answer questions honestly about his own drug use when Al Gore III's age.

But I'm sure you are equally outraged whenever Jenna and Barbara Bush get in trouble or whenever Jeb Bush's daughter gets in trouble - oh, wait, no you don't. You're just a big partisan hypocrite who professes outrage whenever someone on the Democratic side gets in touble but we never hear a peep when someone on the Republican side does anything.

By the way, do you think Dick Cheney must have been a rotten father because his daughter turned out lesbian?

Andrew

I love it, something happens to a Democrats kid and this place turns it right back on Bush,,

I think we all knew immediately that it was Bush's fault. They've got him this time. It's impeachment for certain.

Well when you say " Because of this incident, I'm so glad he's not President " that sort of opens the door for comparison - don'tcha think?

Oh dear god! Cochise is a moron. I am to busy having a good time with friends and family, otherwise I would expand on my opinion, which I'm sure is self evident, this guy is a useless mouth breathing troglodyte!

Cochise has a history of taking blanket swipes at forum members. He's a troll.

DD is another troll. He's a class-A hypocrite.

PS: My daughter has never been caught with pot nor ever touched alchohol. I should be president.

If Gore runs, and he doesn't comment on this, no harm, no foul. The fact that there has been no comment leads me to believe that yes, Gore will enter at some point. (Bush daughters? Billy Carter?...come on, it really doesn't matter)

Well whoop-de freak do! Seriously, what young kid doesn't experiment with POT?? He's a 24 year old guy!!!! This really is not a big deal! I'm sure most people on this board smoked the wacky weed when they were younger, and some probably still do know. Lindsey Lohan and paris are Coke Heads, which is a much bigger deal than some 24 year old guy getting caught with some "sticky icky" in his pocket!

I've never seen Al Gore's son before, but all I can say is the UGLY Stick sure hit him.

Give me a break. Al Gore III is an adult. He's responsible for his actions. Not Al Gore Jr.

This Republican's prayers go out to the Gore family.

I had no idea a Prius could do 100mph!

But a Gore kid doesn't hold a disposable lighter to every single Bush Kid:

http://www.hereinreality.com/gonewild.html

Caught having sex in the car in the mall parking lot, prescription drug abuse and fraud, the sistahz smoking dope together with a hookah at Ashton Kutcher's house, Underage drinking in bars, Fake ID, cutting cookies in your girlfriend's yard in a rage...They're all GWB and Jebby's kids.

Gosh, read all the documents and police reports and see the photo's on SmokingGun.com

justin sez: "I've never seen Al Gore's son before, but all I can say is the UGLY Stick sure hit him."

He almost died in a car accident as a little kid. His recovery was long and for awhile, the outcome didn't look to good. Perhaps this is what you're seeing.

Could be.....Or it could be that he is just an ugly kid!

Even though Mr. Gore's son is an adult, and in spite of how the left tries to blame Mr. Bush for virtually everything, kids of politicians shouldn't be the target.

That includes Amy Carter, the Bush twins, Mr. Gore's son or Chelsea Clinton.

Besides, Mr. Gore has plenty of weak positions which don't require going after his kid.

Herb

Again I'll ask; What is the fascination from the right with Al Gore? Why is there such a need to discredit him every chance they get? What are they afraid of? Isn't rigging an election and hijacking the Supreme Court to assure an illegal victory enough? Why so much attention to Mr. Gore?

Why, Warner? Because they fear him, that's why. Gore's one of the very few people they know could come back and really mess things up for them.

Andrew

(Andrew, I know that, and you know that, I was hoping we could get one of our right leaners to admit it)

Kudos to Herb for being fair-minded.

Ditto on the Hurb

And Mr Bush has plenty of weak positions which don't require going after his kids either.


John

I dont care about Al's kid, or the Bush twins or Bills daughter or carters son/daughter.

I do think its interesting, the major news organizations had a policy not to publish stuff about Amy, but have no problem publishing stuff about President bush's daughters.

Nwokie, I think it has a lot to do with how media has changed in the 30 years since Carter was in the White House. This kind of tabloid reporting has gotten worse across the board. I believe that Amy Carter would be scrutinized today as closely as the Bush twins.

Well, Nwokie, Amy Carter was not a legal adult while her father was president. The Bush Twins were over 18 when Bush took office in 2001, so it's a different situation. Chelsea Clinton turned 18 while her father was in the White House so her situation evolved. But that didn't stop Rush Limbaugh on his short-lived TV show for saying he was going to show a picture of the White House family dog and showing a picture of 13-year-old Chelsea. But, hey, it was probably the Oxycontin talking.

Andrew

Speaking of Al Gores son being hit with the ugly stick, whats up with Al gore himself. Just saw a pic of him the other day and I thought to myself. What a fat overweight pig. Lose some weight Tubby Gore.

Beano sez: "What a fat overweight pig."

I'm not sure why one needs to attack physical attributes of people. Care to explain why you went down this road?

BREAKING NEWS!

DUHbya's Daughter's arrested for DUIs!!!!!!

This reflects badly on DUHbya. What kind of father raises his Daughters such things? Does DUHbya also have problem with drugs like his Daughter's? Thank God he's out of office next year.

Or SOONER!

Just watched Gore on Larry King tonight. Very little comment on his son. Very little comment on future political aspirations. Very little comment = yah, he will run.

Anyone wanna lay odds on run vs. win?

OK, I'll bite...

Even odds he will run.

2-1 he will beat Romney.

LESS than 2-1 any other GOP candidate. Obama is not going to make it, the fire just isn't building for him. Hillary is still right there, but in the end not enough blue states will elect her.

Gore is the dems best chance, in an election that the dems "should" have no trouble losing! "should" being the key word.

Getting back on topic, Al Gore's son did drive an environmentally friendly car.

Al Gore jr. broke the law, but at the same time he was saving the planet. What a guy!

DD sez: "What a guy!"

I've a hunch that God finds him a much better guy than you are.

When you get to the Pearly Gates, you're gonna have to explain this statement to the Lord Almighty:

"This reflects badly on Al Gore. What kind of father raises his son to do these criminal acts? Does Al Gore also have problem with drugs like his son?"

You certainly aren't worthy of admintance to Heaven.

Yeah, DD, even Herb chimed in that making fun of Gore's kid is bad form. It's a family matter. To continue to make fun of him at what must be a terrible time for him and his family makes you a bitter, petty, classless person.

Andrew

I could care less, going after a politicians kids is something Democrats do and I refuse to play ball.

The Bush twins are a good example.

mc74 sez: "going after a politicians kids is something Democrats do"

not based on fact. chelsea clinton was a target of many GOP members and radio host(s).

DD, don't be surprised if God send a thunderbolt your way. You're embarsassing everyone else thats looks to God for guidance. You're making Him look STUPID.

Quick joke

Chelsea comes home from a date late one night. Hillary meets her at the door when she arrives home. She is worried sick about Chelsea.
"Did you have sex tonight Chelsea" Asked Hillary.

"Well........"Dad wouldn't consider it sex." Said Chelsea.

(Cue Rimshot)

Digital, Mr. Gore will implode, just like before.

We'll hear how he invented the internet, hoed tobacco, was the main character in Love Story, and all about his Vietnam service.

And of course how he's such a great environmentalist, whilst using up tremendous amounts of energy in his McMansion and spewing carbon all over the atmosphere from his jetting about. The guy's a pathetic joke and I hope he runs for president. There is so much on the guy, plus he and Hillary can have a free-for-all.

Herb

So how do you figure Gore imploded when he received more votes than Bush, and would have been inaugurated had the Supreme Court not stopped the vote count (which is exactly what they did).

BTW, Have you ever hear of Vinton Cerf & Robert Khan?

No, he wouldn't, by nearly all of the later counts of the votes, President Bush would have won.

And the Supreme Court didnt stop the recount, they just told Florida, it had to use its own rules, that were in place the day of the election.

Had the entire state been recounted as mandated by the Florida Supreme Court, Gore would have won by any standard.

Andrew

"No, he wouldn't, by nearly all of the later counts of the votes, President Bush would have won."

Back that up.

"chelsea clinton was a target of many GOP members and radio host(s)."

Cheslsea's looks were ridiculed by Saturday Night Live skits written by Al Franken.

Your post seems to contradict your assertion.

"According to the Post, when the recount tallied ballots in which "at least one corner of a chad was detached from punch-card ballots," Gore won Florida by 60 votes. "[U]nder the least-restrictive standard for interpreting voter intent, which counted all dimpled chads and any discernible optical mark (which in the case of optical ballots Florida's new election law now requires to be counted as votes)," the Post reported, "Gore had 107 more votes." One recount with a "more restrictive interpretation of what constitutes a valid mark on optical scan ballots" -- and in which chads had to be "fully punched" -- saw Gore win by 115 votes. And a recount that replicated "the standards established by each of the counties in their recounts" gave Gore 171 more votes than Bush."



BTW, Have you ever hear of Vinton Cerf & Robert Khan?

How about Declan McCullagh?

Pants on Fire: How Al Franken Lies, Smears and Deceives by Alan Skorski

Well, at least you are siting an unbiased source...

OK, DD. I'm not going to go buy the book. Presumably you have several editions of the book including the book-on-tape version. So tell us: WHICH SKITS did Al Franken write on SNL making fun of Chelsea Clinton? How about citing a page number in the book? And what is the author's source? Multiple writers often work on one sketch on SNL. How was the book's author able to tell that Franken contributed the part about Chelsea?

Andrew

Andrew, I borrowed Pants on Fire from the library. You also can get it from your local library. I know you won't.

Why don't you have the same skepticism regarding Al Franken's books? Why do you blindly believe everything he writes is the gospel truth?

Al Franken wrote it, I believe it, that settles it!

DD writes:

Damn right I won't. You made the BS accusation. Back it up. I suspect it's not true. But, go ahead and prove me wrong.

FYI, it's amusing once again to watch your hypocrisy in action. Every time anyone mentions Bush's alleged cocaine use (which he has never denied when asked), you are all over it not being true. But all anyone has to do is hint that Franken did something like make fun of Chelsea in a sketch and you buy it unquestionably.

I didn't buy it when Bush's ex-sister-in-law claimed in Kitty Kelly's book that he used cocaine at Camp David while his dad was president. Just because it's in a book doesn't mean it's true.
