Gore's son pleads guilty in drug case
By GILLIAN FLACCUS 6 minutes ago
Al Gore's son pleaded guilty Monday to possessing marijuana and other drugs, but a judge said the plea could be withdrawn and the charges dropped if he successfully completes a drug diversion program.
Authorities have said they found drugs in Al Gore III's car after the 24-year-old was pulled over on July 4 for going 100 mph in his Toyota Prius.
He pleaded guilty Monday to two felony counts of drug possession, two misdemeanor counts of drug possession without a prescription, and one misdemeanor count of marijuana possession, the district attorney's office said.
Jaime Coulter, senior deputy district attorney, said Gore's sentencing will be continued until Feb. 7. If he has complied with all the conditions of the diversion program, the sentencing will be continued again for another year, with charges possibly being dropped in 2009.
"At that point, he will be able to withdraw his guilty plea as if he never entered it," Coulter said.
Deputies who pulled Gore over said they discovered less than an ounce of marijuana and a variety of medications, including Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and Adderall. Authorities said Gore did not have a prescription for any of those medications.
Gore also was charged with a traffic infraction for speeding.

He should have bought some sobriety offsets to cover his inebriants footprint.
Dang. Good plea. I bet any kid from the projects could get the same thing.
To hell with that. Let this punk do the time. I am sick and tired of celebrities and their punk kids getting off with a slap on the wrist for felonies. Toss his fat ass in prison for a couple of years.
Jail is for the peasants.
The guys is either the supplier for all his friends or has some serious pill addiction going on. I hope he gets clean.
I thought he had already been through a treatment program?
Sweet deal! I bet everybody gets that......
Still no explanation for how he got a Prius up to 100mph. He must have really been trying to keep his dad from getting his Xanax back.
GLOBAL WARMING RESPONSIBLE FOR DRUG ADDICTION-FILM AT ELEVEN!
The judge was later seen in his chambers stuffing carbon offsets into his briefcase.
Drugs (and driving) are legal ..... for those who are politically connected.
Those who suffer from cancer, on the other hand ...
Two felonies plus three missdemeanors equals six months (including twentyeight days on the farm) of having someone else pee in a bottle for him. That boy had himself one good lawyer!
And man-made global warming deniers.

Figures. No consequences for the arrogant, pompous ruling elite aparachniks.

Something about this statement reminds me of John Kerry.
It’s called ‘The Swimmer’s Cleansing Program’.
Doesn’t he have a prior? (Admittedly in another juridiction.)
Pretty sweet indeed.
