Gore: Son's arrest is 'a private family matter'
Updated: July 5, 2007 08:08 AM EDT
NEW YORK (AP) -- Al Gore says he's dealing with his son's arrest in California "as a private family matter."
Al Gore the Third, who is 24, was arrested early yesterday. Sheriff's deputies say he was driving about 100 miles per hour on the San Diego Freeway. They arrested him on suspicion of possessing marijuana and prescription drugs.
The former vice president and Democratic presidential nominee appeared on the "Today" show on NBC this morning. He says he's glad his son is safe and is "getting treatment." He also says he's thankful no one was hurt.
Al Gore the Third completed substance abuse counseling to settle pot possession charges in suburban Washington in 2003.

He’s just like his parents. Both Al and Tipper have always been heads. Probably today no different.

I don't believe he said that Bush's DUI decades ago was a "private family matter" shortly before the 2000 elections, did he?
I don't recall that either. I remember Democrats back in the late '90s/2000 saying about then-candidate Bush, now-President Bush, that his DUI and license suspension for a year or two was a serious reflection/indication of Bush's character. I also recall it being brought up when his father was running for election as if it was his father's fault (similar to how the Democrats wanted to blame the Bush twins' problems with alcohol and judgement on their father), but I don't think much information about President Bush's arrest was available back then.
Funny how it's a private family matter when it's a Democrat's kid.

The media should ask Al if his son should be disqualified from public office for the rest of his life for his DUIs.
Too bad they would rather cozy up to Al and feed him the questions he wants...

I fixed that for you I was referring to what they should cost, not what they cost now. If it costs more than $20,000 the economy is already lost, unless gas gets up around $5.00/gallon. How is your Prius running after 4 years? I talked with a guy who has a 2003 a few weeks ago. He said he averages 50 mpg for combination road/street driving and still loves it.

Al can be our first mentally handicapped one... Imagine an America with Algor President and Hillary VP....that's like a cold shower isn't it.

The blow hard that almost became our president and is hopelessly convinced we are all gonna die from global warming UNLESS we buy carbon offsets.
I don't know his son well enough to pass judgment on. Getting caught speeding with illegal drugs in the car is not a good start...
