Al Gore III goes "GREEN" (oopsie!)

[dclary]

Al Gore III busted for marijuana possession, among other charges.

Gore the Younger got caught going 100 MPH in a Prius (that's personally my favorite part of the story). Cops smelt the ganja, found what sounds like about 1 joint's worth, along with a collection of favorite medicinals: adderal, valium, etc.

That's probably a bit more inconvenient than Senators Al Jr. or Al Sr. would have liked.

[maestrowork]

A joint? Big deal. Call me if he has, like, a pound of it.

[dclary]

Ok, ok, we'll call!

Every politician has family busted for drugs or are known for heavy drinking.

Come to think of it, every family has someone who does drugs or drinks heavily.

As epidemic as drug and alcohol abuse is, it affects everyone at some point.

Oh, but it didn't make it in the news that Chelsea Clinton has not been busted for drugs, and doesn't have a drinking problem.

Just sayin.

[dclary]

I agree, which is why the 100-mph-Prius angle is the true winner here for me.

Have you seen that car? How did he get it that fast? Drop it off a cliff?

[poetinahat]

What a disappointment.

I misread the title. I was expecting "Al Green goes Gore".

What's goin' on?

[tourdeforce]

100 mph.

420.

The Prius marketing team couldn't buy PR this good.

[TheGaffer]

I admit the Prius angle does make it kind of fun.

[dclary]

It's like a scene out of a sitcom.

SON!

Dad?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID?

I'm sorry dad!

(BIG HUG)

I'm so proud of you boy! You're the successful merging of the Clinton-Gore bloodline we've been engineering for centuries. You are the Clarygaff Haskirach. The sleeper must awaken!

[maestrowork]

"Prius Sales Go Through the Roof" is tomorrow's headline.

Those cars are fun, but yeah, 100MPH is pretty funny/impressive/weird.

[Celia Cyanide]

Yeah, there was some big deal about Ashton Kutcher saying in Rolling Stone that he saw the Bush Twins smoking pot with his friend in his dorm room. Why am I not surprised?

[Don Allen]

Only Gore's kid could get busted hyper-extending an enviormentally friendly hybred automobile to the point of distruction. Priceless.

[My-Immortal]

I was amazed by the 100mph claim too....I really didn't think they would go that fast. I'm guessing the gas mileage isn't as good at that speed....wasteful
