...I really hope his son gets help...

Funny you should post that to me...I was just going to come back and post the same...

The "kid" needs help. I read yesterday that he was hit by a car when he was younger. He may have some issues with pain. I sincerely am pulling for him to get through this.

If he has issues with pain, he should go to a doctor and get real prescriptions instead of doing illegal drugs.

Did he “buckle up” when he got in the car?

Funny you mention that as his kid getting hit (circa 1983) is when I first lost all respect for Gore. The accident occurred in front of Memorial Stadium in Balto. after an Orioles game. His kid ran out into the street without looking from in-between 2 parked cars.

In all of the initial interviews, Al said that it wasn't the drivers fault. His son had just let go of his hand and started running across the street and there was nothing the driver could have done to avoid hitting him.

Two months later, he was suing the driver of the car. I knew then that he was a lying, hypocrite. Up until then, I was a Gore fan (what can I say, I was 20 and stupid!!!)

He also may have some issues with his accident being used by his Father to garner sympathy and votes.
