Al Gore's Son Held In Drug Arrest

After Freeway Stop, Al Gore III Arrested On Suspicion Of Possessing Marijuana, Perscription Drugs

(CBS)  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, 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.

OMG...doesn't he know smoking pot contributes to global warming!!

[grammawhamma]

and so does speeding on the highway...shame, shame.

[mommajomma-2009]

not only that, but he was using 57% more fuel at 97 mph than he would have at the legal 55mph. he must have bought some carbon offsets from his daddys company.

2) Are FEDERALLY FUNDED PROGRAMS accessible by All Citizen for whom the programs were designed for, or are they just really WORK PROGRAMS designed to give CRONIES and BUREAUCRATS high paying Jobs?

3) Must the citizens of this country PASS LITERARY TESTS in order to receive PROTECTION in the COURTS

(i.e. say the "MAGIC WORDS" for justice)

(i.e. put the "MAGIC WORDS" on " MAGIC PAPER ")?

4) Are theses laws CONSTITUTIONAL, If these laws are not EQUALLY apply to ALL (STATE, FEDERAL, CORPORATE)?

5) I think (are) ALL of you ARE CORRUPT ?

EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL???

[acauble1]

Sorry Al Gore 2, you may want to tell Al Gore 3 that a Toyota Prius only gets 50 MPG when you're driving UNDER 65 MPH!!!

100 MPH does not make for fuel efficiency, no matter what car you're driving.

(Now if this was a son or daughter of the Bush family, everything above could be applied to them except they'd probably be driving 100 MPH in a Suburban)!

Surprising comments from GOP groupies. After all the negative publicity about Bush2's daughters-- not to mention their over-age adolescent father (check his record)-- Gore3 is at least to be presumed innocent until proven guilty of the same misuse of alcohol, etc.

Doubtless, Gore3 already has one count against him-- POTUS will not intervene on his behalf to commute any judicial action as "excessively harsh".

[condumism]

At least 100 MILLION American's have smoked pot. Smells like the Reicht Winged Fascist Press is starting earlier than normal this year in trashing liberals with their Southern Fried braindead bigotry. Ronald Reagan's War on the American people continues unabated in this land of the apethetic, pathetic, and obese!

[ddkem]

He He He! Guess drunk driving exists on both sides of the isle :-)

Oh you libs, how you must be so embarrassed by this. You guys had such a fun time poking fun at the Bush girls (who, with a doubt haven't been in as much trouble as little baby Gore).

[rmsdm4]

WOW, I didn't know a prius could go that fast.

Everyone in every party has issues. Sooner we realize that the better a country we will be.

[jfinster10]

The Gores' only son doesn't seem to learn from his previous offenses. All of which seem to make national headlines in todays media. In the 2000 presidential campaign, their son was speeding in North Carolina at 97 mph in a 55. Later, an arrest for drunk driving near a military base. They should have learned from Nancy Reagan's 'Just say No' anti-drug campaign. His parents should change his name and disown him for this continued embarrassment.

[j-whitman]

Bush Lovers,,,,, Too damm bad you didn't worry about George H.W. Bush's son as you do Al Gore's son -------- 3,585 Brave Americans would still be alive & America would be safer.

[j-whitman]

USAwatchman,,, Who the hell cares about Al Gore's son ??? ---
- This administration has disgraced & failed our nation --
- They've destroyed the very morals & values this country's Independence was about & the Constitution as well.

THIS IS "INDEPENDENCE DAY LOST" -- AND YOU WORRY ABOUT AL GORE'S SON ?????

[blackbug99]

Who'dathunk a Prius could even go 100mph?

[usawatchman]

IS THIS STRIKE THREE????

[hypnotoad72]

condumism - 100 million Americans have done it? Where's the proof of that? That's 1/3rd our entire population, or roughly 1/2 the adult population.

rmsdm4 - yes, people in both parties has issues. Weighing the candidates against their political positions has merit. Their offspring's actions does not - once they reach the legal age of 21.

It's sick Gore's and Bush's children have done some nasty things. Regardless, they were all legal adults at the time.

I'll also be a very good adult son to whoever wishes to adopt me. :suckup:

QUOTE FROM USAWATCHMAN: "Maybe someone who is guilty of being BLACK IN CALIFORNIA could tell us what the PENALTIES are for these CRIMES"

All the Family Friendly Bush Lovers are here bashing someone's family ????? Figures,,, too damm bad they ignored George H.W. Bush's son's drug & alchhol problems ----- America would still have a stong military, sound national secrutiy, & honor among the world leaders.

[blueberrypic]

DAMMIT!

now, if he was somehow supporting people who couldn't afford BigPharma or HealthCare costs...

...he'd get a "mulligan" from me...

But I actually sent Al Gore Sr. a "please, oh PLEASE run for President" letter about a year ago...

& I would hazard to say anybody who would hold his SON against his potential candidacy should take a HARD LOOK inside the Beltway...

You should be concerned. I would worry if you would be forced to share the freeway with a drugged maniac going 100 mph. People like the Gores and Bushes are beyond the reach of equal justice for these sort of offenses.

billysmith6 said-- "That's ok, his dad invented the internet while he was VP.

This famous misquotation says more about the partisan ethics and educational level of the person who uses them. Al Gore did not make that claim-- the GOP did. Their spin factory simply lied in an RNC press release, hoping illiterates would pick up their irresponsible misquotation and pass it along.

During a CNN interview, Gore said, "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet"-- a claim that even former House Speaker Newt Gingrich verifies as true, because Gingrich knows Gore refers to a legislative role.

Those who were listening to the Wolf Blitzer interview never thought Gore took credit for the technical side of what some mistakenly call the "web". Gore clearly did take a congressional leadership in pushing federal development of the nation's first high speed computer network.

Gore as chairman of a key science subcommittee (1986) facilitated creation of five supercomputer centers through the National Science Foundation that became the cornerstone of the Internet.

Might want to re-think your argument.

[iceman_1960]

"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."

Bush should grant him a full pardon immediately, as a Fourth of July gesture of reconciliation.

(It can be done before the indictment -- as Ford did with Nixon)

Then he can add, "Now you all lay off Scooter Libby, will ya ?"

[j-whitman]

sero5,,, I'm a good defensive driver & don't use the cell phone while driving,, I'm not that concerened about it. --
-- Just another reason to increase the support for our police & 1st responders we need more of & this administration ignores.

[alphaa10-2009]

Observe all the indignant comments from GOP groupies, many of whose families can tell similar tales of drug misuse and abuse. And please note, Bush and Limbaugh already have gone on record with their own personal stories about drug and alcohol misuse.

Even more surprising, after all the negative publicity about Bush2's daughters-- not to mention their over-age adolescent father (check *his* driving record!).

Doubtless, Gore3 already has one count against him-- POTUS will not intervene on his behalf to commute any judicial action as "excessively harsh".

[perception5]

I'm sure our corrupt liberal MSM wolfpack will RUSH this story through in a few hours..............so they can get back to smearing, distorting,and lying about how bad the Republican party is to this country.

Conservatives and Liberals bring, for the MOST part, their children up differently...... that's just "one" of the big differences in the two parties.

[iceman_1960]

Al Gore III in that mugshot looks like a certain actor I've seen in films, but I can't place the name just now.

Not Gary Sinese, but somebody like that.

It's the UK you're thinking of, that has a Liberal Party and a Conservative Party. Also Australia, I think.

We have Republicans and Democrats.

[iceman_1960]

Do the children of liberals tend to do better in school than those of conservatives, academically ?

That would explain why universities like Harvard and Wellesley have the reputations they do, as bastions of liberalism.

I don't know if any unbiased studies have been conducted about this, that would effectively eliminate other factors.

The Blue States do outshine the Red States as a group, in educational standing. (e.g. Massachusettes runs rings around Oklahoma in that regard.)

[rudy654-2009]

It's a shame to see people throw away their lives in addictions. These problems affect people of all social levels. I have seen the best of parents have one child that left them at their wits end when it came to substance abuse. It's also a shame that so many of you use these events as an opportunity to play politics, because as we have seen, it's a problem with people of every stripe, as we have seen even in the case of a certain radio personality.

Gee I sure hope so, I get bored reading the nonessential news.
It's better when you have to roll up your pant legs so you don't get republican bull shiit on them.

Kids! Whata ya gonna do?

[hedonist3]

What a little idiot; what a waste of the privileged life into which he was born. As for the pot, if he was going 100 mph, it must have been less than stellar.

[ronaldstark]

Going 100 mph at 215am with a car full of pills and herb. He must've been upset with his father.

[tnt1954]

type all the many words which rhyme with gore.
there may have been more gore if gore had
won in the year 2000. who can really say.
can you turn back the hands of time.
al gore's son and millions of others wish
they could too. never taken the first sip
or puff. it's too late now. ya know he
doesn't look like a stoner. maybe the
whole thing is political. he was framed.
targeted. they planted the dope on him.
it happens. the l.a.p.d. has changed oodles
since i worked there during the transition
to raygunism period. gettin ready for raunchy
ron.

[samthetvcat]

This is the Gore kid that ran out of Al's hand and got hit by a car and they didn't think was going to live. Not trying to excuse his behavior but I could understand it if the Gores were more indulgent with him than they should have been - I've seen that happen on SuperNanny before . . .

[drummer94]

He's what,24? And did this, How many times till he got popped? And his 'ol man is who? Somebody else could use that air. Sheesh, another one.

[jolsonbear]

Thank goodness this only happens with the children of politicians and celebrities.


Give me a break. If you posters really knew what your kids were up to, you'd keep your judgmental mouths shut.

[kirstinharr]

The timing couldn't be worse. The people who might be positively impacted by the upcoming Live Earth celebration will be turned off by this story. This is a grown man making his own choices in life. Gov Jeb Bush has a daughter who has been arrested multiple times and in rehab repeatedly but the Right Wing won't think about that...Don't even get me started on Rush Limbaugh and his pill bottles.

[kirstinharr]

Hey, ainttaken, not a pardon--a commutation. They are so-o-o different, ha ha.
