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.
Once again we get to witness first hand one of the primary mechanisms by which the Drug War operates.
And that is?
So now the story is over the media has the talking points (its a private matter) so “leave it alone” You watch the story is now dead
I wonder if AlGore will ask Bush for a “pardon” for his son?
Surely this arrest means jail time?
Family matter?? He could have killed someone!!
I wish Al Gore was a private matter.
The kid must really hate his dad and hate life in general. I do feel kind of sorry for him, like the poor little rich kids I went to prep school with. They had big cash, sure, but not the love and support of their family. Algore is way too busy with his cause du jour to worry about his own home. Sad.
Breaking News! Algloat is stuffin cotton in his jowls!
LOL, just what I was thinking. What’s the point?
Why didn’t Algore claim that
Manbearpig
planted the evidence on his son?
totally serial!
How awful! Operating a vehicle at 100 mph cannot be efficient. /s
my 12 yo said this AM, well i guess if algore was your dad, you WOULD be messed up.
You have a smart kid!
The kid even looks like a cake-eating prick.
