WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The son of former Vice President Al Gore was arrested Friday night on a marijuana possession charge after police stopped the car he was driving for not having its headlights on, according to a news release from the Montgomery County, Maryland, Department of Police Services.

Let the humor begin...

Drudge has this story. I'm amazed CNN is reporting it. Doubt the ABCNBCCBS will. Privacy, you know (except when it involves the Bush family).

"Son of a b!+ch - you mean I forgot to turn my headlights on? Ohhhhhhhhh maaaaaaaaan!

[mewzilla]

No wonder Algore endorsed Howie. The two obviously share the same parenting skills.

Algore invented pot.

Let the humor begin...

and maybe a prayer for his recovery.

The little I have seen of dedicated pot smokers leads me to think that pot will be found to be far more dangerous to mental and physical health than the apologists are willing to admit.

Hey, Al!!!!
You're piece-of-crap kid has been popped three times, and he's only 21!!!
My parents would've disowned me by now!!!
Let's publicly send his upper-crust ass to re-hab.
I hate little punks like yours who don't think the law should apply to them.

Next thing you know, there'll be a mysterious plane crash when nobody's paying attention.
Hell hath no fury like a Clinton scorned (and their willing accomplices at CNN, etc.).

Both of my vehicles have an automatic way of turning on the lights when it gets dark. If I got into an older vehicle under street lights I would probably forget also.Just how old was this Cadillac he was driving that the lights didn't automatically turn on or did he intentionally turn them off for some reason.

I am sure CNN will over compensate for this severe breach of "Protect-the-Democrats" at all cost and publish this headline by the end of the week:

"Scandal in East Room! Bush Twins Sipped Red Wine during Christmas Meal!!!

[OldFriend]

Who cares!

[genefromjersey]

Would that make him,like,a....uh...Libertarian, man ??

[LoudRepublicangirl]

Maybe his son should keep his weed in " a lockbox".

I've recently quit smoking pot after 27 years of mostly 3x a day habit. My drive and and ambition are returning, but I'm much angrier, pot does dull the anger from daily living. Now reading the news enrages me every day ( being taxed to pay for others is enraging.)

It can't be easy being the son of Al Gore.
