Gore Goes Guilty (Won't do time even if he wants to)

Al Gore III pleaded guilty Monday to possessing marijuana and other drugs, but a judge told the former Veep's son he can withdraw that plea and have the charges dropped if he successfully completes a drug diversion program. What a bargain!

Cops say the 24-year-old was going 100+ MPH in his Prius on an Orange County freeway when they pulled him over. Multiple drugs were found in his car.

3 strikes and you are out unless you are the child of Pope Al Gore.

Such a deal!

[rod1]

I though he had priors??

That’s just a bumper sticker slogan. John Edwards thinks that bumper sticker slogans are bad because they get the public to buy lies, like reasons for going to war.

Gore pleaded guilty to two felony counts of drug possession, two misdemeanor counts of drug possession without a prescription, and one misdemeanor count of marijuana possession.

2 felonies and three misdemeanors. He walks. Wonder what would happen if it was me in chair instead of gore III.

But, did he inhale?

[weegee]

He did.

This is totally different from 'deferred adjudication'!

Does this mean I get to go 100 MPH in Orange County next time I am there? Sweet..... (with all the traffic I get each time I am there, I find it hard to hit 70 MPH, much less 100 MPH).

[Yaelle]

Seriously, does ANYONE else get these deals?

You'd look up and realize that Fat Albert was your dad and you'd start taking drugs

[teddyballgame]

Two Americas indeed!

[From One - Many]

lil’gore will not do time even if he kills someone while going 100 mph, cause ‘there is no controlling legal authority.’ I remember hearing that somewhere, sometime, yet a name, face, and date eludes me. I know I was angry with the statement when it was made, though....it appears more and more true today.

[fish hawk]

Are the Gores somehow related to the Kennedys that we don’t know about?

[vpintheak]

Hey, he’s just a good kid that made some bad decisons. It’s alright. That and algore being his dad.

[teddyballgame]

Biggest revelation out of this news is that you get you can get 100+ MPH out of a Prius.

[kinoxi]

Yeah, see ya next decade right?
