Gore Goes Guilty (Won't do time even if he wants to)
TMZ ^ | 7/30/07 | TMZ Staff

Posted on 07/30/2007 11:20:20 AM PDT by teddyballgame

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.

Well, this can be on the shoulders of the Judge should this air head have another accident while under the influence or possession of drugs. Let’s just hope an innocent person does not die in the meantime. If one does...there will be an outcry of how the “celebrities” get off easy.

You would be in jail. PERIOD. However, I think you would have learned a lesson and adjusted your lifestyle and behaviors accordintly. This fella is NOT going to change. It’s just a matter of time before he does this again just like spears, lohan and ritchie. Making a mockery of the drug rehab centers and...the law. Let’s hope not lives are lost in the process.

Sure. Anyone can get those deals. I suspect, however, that it helps to have a good lawyer.

What often happens is that the perp does only one week of a one month program, and lands back in jail.

Seriously, does ANYONE else get these deals?

Rich skank ho's. Look at the four days Nicole Richie got. And anybody expecting Lindsay Lohan to do over a week is on more drugs than she is!

“He went 100 mph in ORANGE COUNTY??”

On the toll road in SOC. At 2:00 am (approx).

You wonder how the CHP decides who to pull over?
