Inquiring minds want to know: Did he inhale?

The fact that this story even broke this quickly and was covered by mainstream press in this country is somewhat of a "miracle", considering the media's past track record.
Media in Gore Jr. DUI Bust Cover-Up - Sept. 14, 2002
Excerpt
In August 2000, the then-Harvard bound high school senior was nabbed for speeding on a North Carolina highway - news the media held for days so as not to embarrass his father, who was in the midst of being nominated for president at the Democratic convention in Los Angeles at the time.
At the family's request, the press also declined to report young Gore's 1996 suspension from the tony Washington, D.C., prep school St. Albans after he was discovered smoking marijuana in the cafeteria.
"[Vice President] Gore called leading news organizations around Washington and asked them not to run the story, and all complied," reported Newsweek's Bill Turque in his book "Inventing Al Gore."

A search of the vehicle turned up a partial marijuana cigarette......... It's called a 'roach'.
.......and a soft drink can that also smelled of marijuana.
Toke-a-Cola
driving a vehicle without its headlights on.
No need for lights. .....THC allows one to see in the infared.

Al Gore is a waste of breath IMHO.
But just as I thought it ugly and unrelated to his political life and actions when Jeb Bush's adult daughter was busted for drugs, I will also not bash Gore for the actions of his son.
I have a child.
I do not think the actions of ones adult children should be held against the parent.
That smacks of maliciousness, IMHO.
Al Gore himself provides plenty of self induced targets for derision, without bringing the failings of his adult progeny into the mix.
I hope you have very few bumps on this thread.
I hope we are better than that.

I agree. A few jokes are OK, though...
To: sarasmom
On one level, I agree with you. On the other hand, the fact that this story broke in this fashion is amazing, considering the previous "cover-ups". Al Gore III is clearly in need of an intervention, especially considering he's been a user since the age of 13 (or maybe earlier......).
Maybe by this story going more public, maybe that will happen.
To: isitjustme
Al Gore III has broken the law many times. His arrest sheet is getting longer. And he's been "toking" since the age of 13. This guy needs help.
To: isitjustme
One other point, he was DUI and driving without headlights on. Would you like to have been in a head-on collision with him? This act made him a menace to society.
To: Grim
Gore is a goof- wanna jump and go BOO!!
Hey, your family sucks, and will soon be gone!!
