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.
The more I hear about the beautiful people and politicians
Famous maybe but beautiful????????????????

drop it out of a C-130, and it MIGHT be able to go go 100 mph
Maybe Vick needs a change of venue and so does LiLo!
With Al Gore on board, now you have a good start.
I think it means...
I’d rather push a Hummer than drive a Prieus
Whatever it means is lost on the external accessories.
What often happens is that the perp does only one week of a one month program, and lands back in jail.
