The son of renowned climatologist Al Gore, Al Gore III (Who knew there were 109 Al Gores before these two?), was arrested Wednesday for speeding and drug possession. Police reportedly clocked the younger Gore's Toyota Prius at over 100 MPH (!), incredible but for the fact Gore had replaced the hybrid power plant with a Chrysler Hemi as an act of rebellion against his father. "He can force me to drive this little crap-box, but didn't say I couldn't personalize it," said Gore III. "It's got 420 horse power and gets about 10 miles to a gallon now, I hope Dad's buying a butt-load of carbon credits from somebody."
The elder Gore was noticeably shaken when told of his son's arrest, saying to reporters, "I can't believe he was going that fast. Somewhere in Antarctica he murdered a penguin, the little bastard." When asked about the younger Gore's drug problems, his father said, "They don't harm the environment half as much as that speeding car." And of course, he's right.
Scooter peace out.
PS: I'm sorry, I just realized that was 3 capital "i"s behind Gore's name, not 3 ones - my bad.
109 Al Gores? Dude, don't scare me!
Af all the many threads (with hundreds of replies) on Free Republic regarding AGIII, this - by far - is the funniest!
Here’s the transcript from the arrest:
officer: Sir, do you know how fast you were driving?
Gore: I was driving? Oh crap, I see blue lights. I need to pull over.
Officer: Sir, you are pulled over. Can I see your drivers license?
Gore: Sure, it’s under my bag of weed in the glove compartment. I was cleaning the seeds with it. Hold on.
Officer: Sir are you aware I am a police officer.
Gore: Really, I thought you were a really polite skycap. I don’t want to miss my flight. What concourse is this?
Officer: Sir, have you taken any drugs?
Gore: No, I missed a few.
Officer: I said ANY drug, not EVERY drug.
Gore: Do you know who am I?
Officer: No sir I do not.
Gore: Too bad. I’d really like to know.
Not to mention Caligorela...
Having a famous father prevented AGIII from his his truly deserved lot in life, much as it did for AGII.
:)
Guess he felt if he went there in a Prius it wouldn't be so bad if someone saw him. Boy was he ever wrong.
By the way in another article they added to his drug list in the car a drug name Soma. Never heard of it. Kid definitely needs to pick up meditation instead. He needs serious chillage without the drugs.
