| Gore’s son busted for marijuana |
| 2003-12-21 |
| Edited for brevity. The son of former vice president and 2000 Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore has been charged with marijuana possession. Albert A. Gore III, 21, was arrested Friday night after he was stopped for driving a vehicle without its headlights on. A Montgomery County, Md., police officer stopped the car, a dark-colored Cadillac, in Bethesda, a Washington suburb, around 11:30 p.m. Friday. The officer noticed the car’s windows and sunroof were open, despite cold temperatures Friday night. There was also a smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle, according to a news release from the police department. A search of the vehicle turned up a partial marijuana cigarette, a cigarette box containing suspected marijuana, and a soft drink can that also smelled of marijuana. This isn’t huge news that I bother to post normally, but considering the flak over the Bush twin’s drinking exploits, it’s only fair! |

| #8 Shouldn't Albert Gore III be driving something a little more environmentally sensitive than a Cadillac. I'm appalled. |

| #7 "...if young Al marries Jenna or Barbara..." ooh! Wouldn't that be some kind of miscegenation? I don't know if parents would approve. A non-story, excepting political context, true, but curious; driving without headlights at 11:30P sign of 1) Desire to be inconspicuous? 2) Stoned? 3) Stupid? |

| #6 But Barbara! Its a 'Vast Right Wing Conspiracy(tm)'. (tm) 'Vast Right Wing Conspiracy' is trademarked by Billary Clinton and Cathy Kuric. |

| #5 Stupid yeah - when smoking weed while driving at night it's a good idea to remember to turn on your headlights! A rookie mistake... |

| #4 Cyber Sarge: I agree it should be a non-story, but Gore's son has been in trouble before and it was basically covered up (not reported), as this time will be, by the "mainstream" press, who, when Bush's kids did something stupid, made it front-page news for days. What's sauce for the goose..... |

| #3 This is a non-story as far as I am concerned. Name me a 21-year-old (or younger) that doesn't do stupid things. This boy (and the Bush twins) did not ask for theirs Fathers to run for office. Now if young Al marries Jenna or Barbara that would be a story. P.S. good thing my Dad did not run for office, I would have given him nightmares. |
