The article failed to mention that "young" Gore was kicked out of St. Alban's for weed when he was a freshman, and Friends School was strongarmed into taking him. "Young" Gore broke the Gore tradition of Alban's alumni. He is a troubled kid, no doubt. This story will only appear in the WT. All the alphbets will ignore it. Yet another double standard by the press on display. Remember how they skewered Jenna and Barbara. Their bias is not longer something they try to hide.

...will get a wrist slap, no doubt

And this is surprising how? You expect them to throw the book at him? Do 'hard time' like Jeb Bush's daughter? Face it, politicians from both parties will pull every string they can to keep their little Al juniors or Jebbette's out of jail.

Sept 5th and this is the 1st time we hear about this. If one of the Bush daughters were caught, there would be breaking news.

and this is much worse then what the Bush daughters did, they did not drive.

Where’s the news, where’s MADD. GDF Libs.

Oh no... I guess that means he can't run for President like daddy... After all for Bush it was bad, bad, bad...

[alisasny]

Sickening! He must be disenfranchised..LOL

Anyway after the constant harping on Jenna, Laura and Noelle Bush I hope this gets some traction. Huge difference from underage drinking and a DWI while underage.

I guess Jr is trying to be cool like his Daddy, an Alpha Male.

[alisasny]

Mr. Cabrera stressed that Mr. Gore was alone in the car and was not speeding.

Is this somehow supposed to be the defense of his drunk driving? Was he profiled as if he was NOT speeding why was he pulled over?

Why don't they just get this kid help? His mom knows all about MENTAL ILLNESS.....right????

[lexington minuteman 1775]

Well, lets see if the press plays up this story as much as they did the Bush Twins.Nah, hes a democrat, end of story.

[bulldawg]

Don't Tipper and ALGOR realize it takes a village to raise a child?

[BlueNgold]

Um, lets give the other side the consideration we all demanded when young Jenna got into some trouble. I am for taking the high road on this one and not linking the sins of the son to the father.

[Cicero]

Anybody's kids can go bad, and you can't blame the parents for trying to straighten them out without jail time.

But there's a difference between this case and the Bush twins. DWI by someone who goes 97 MPH isn't funny. I tend to differentiate between someone who has a drink and carefully drives home and someone who gets drunk and speeds.

This kid is going to kill somebody if he isn't straightened out. The Bush twins were just naughty. He is potentially dangerous.

[MadIvan]

This I can understand. Being the son of Sore Loserman would drive anyone to drink.

Trouble for Gore? He might lose his teaching job?

NewsWeek Headline

"Son of popular vote winner in conference with Government Law Agency"

-or maybe -

What did Bush Know and When did he KNOW it ?!

[uglybiker]

At least he wasn't using TOBACCO! < /sarcasm>

[Living Free in NH]

Man, this'll be ALL OVER the nightly news tonight, huh?

[NYCVirago]

How typical -- little Gore gets busted for DWI, which is significantly worse than anything the Bush daughters have ever done, yet this story gets virtually no coverage.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I just sent the info (dirent Wash. Times link) to Bill O'Reilly. We'll see if he brings it up on his show.

"Beyond that, they are dealing with this privately as a family."

I love the way the commission of a crime - a crime that could have had deadly consequences had he hit another car - becomes a "family matter" to these people. Contrast that with Jeb Bush. Not once did he send out a spokesman to say that the Bushes were dealing with Noelle's arrest privately as a family. Rather, Jeb has made statements about how she must take responsibility for her actions.

[Brian Allen]

Must be hard being a Goreleone and at once the kid of the most publicised mentally ill mother on Earth and of the criminally-inclined lying looser and repressed-poofter who was once the world's most dangerous dullard!

Guess it drove the poor schmuck to drink and drugs.
