Spawn of Goracle Cops Guilty Plea

Man, it must be great to be a spoiled child of privilege.

Any one of us who were careening down I-5 in a mobile pharmacy, stoned out of our mind at 2 am, would probably be looking at serious jail time.

But I guess when you're the offspring of the mysteriously quiet Algore, you can do as you please and get a cushy spot in a celebrity rehab joint in Malibu.

Al Gore III sentenced to drug program this morning

LAGUNA NIGUEL – Albert Gore III, the son of former Vice President Al Gore Jr., pleaded guilty in Orange County Superior Court this morning to unlawful possession of prescription drugs and marijuana, and was allowed to enter a drug diversion program.

If Gore successfully completes a 90-day residential drug program in Malibu his convictions will be stricken from his record.

Defense attorney Al Stokke said Gore, 24, received no more or no less than anybody else charged with similar crimes.

Bulls**t. If you had several priors, then were caught with no less than five different kinds of drugs while doing 100 mph in a Prius, you'd be facing time, even if it's a meager few weeks, Paris Hilton-style.

This punk no doubt was forced by his family to get this out of the way, not that the media wasn't complying by dropping this story from the radar as quickly as possible.

Being a Democrat always has its privileges. A 90-day stretch in Malibu, and then this offense vanishes from history.

Hat tip: Radical Ron.

Spawn of Goracle Charged With Drug Possession

Another inconvenient truth. Next thing you know, The Goracle and Tipper will be lecturing us about drug abuse.

Gore's son charged with drug possession

LAGUNA NIGUEL, Calif. - Al Gore's son was charged Friday with possessing marijuana and other drugs that authorities say were discovered in his car after he was pulled over this month for speeding.

Al Gore III, 24, is free on $20,000 bail and scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 1 in Superior Court in Laguna Niguel.

He faces two felony counts of drug possession, two misdemeanor counts of drug possession without a prescription and one misdemeanor count of marijuana possession, the district attorney's office said in a statement. Gore also was charged with a traffic infraction for allegedly driving faster than 100 miles per hour.

Prosecutors said he could be sentenced to a maximum of three years and eight months in prison if convicted on all counts, though he might be eligible for a drug treatment program instead of prison.

Kalee Kreider, a spokeswoman for Gore's parents, said the family had no comment.

The charges stem from July 4, when Orange County sheriff's deputies say they pulled Gore over for speeding.

Gore was allegedly driving a 2006 blue Toyota Prius at about 100 mph. Upon searching the car, deputies say they discovered less than an ounce of marijuana and a variety of medications — including Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and Adderall. Authorities said Gore did not have a prescription for any of those medications.

I still can't figure how he got a hunk of junk like a Prius to go 100 mph.

Nonetheless, don't expect this spoiled punk to ever do a minute of jailtime. He's the son of an elitist leftist, and they have special privileges.

Goracle Claims Son's Drug Bust 'Private'

No doubt the blockheaded blowhard would like everyone to ignore the fact his son is a public menace, even though he was driving an allegedly environmentally-friendly piece of junk like the Prius.

Still, I'd be remiss if I didn't remind the Keeper of the Planet that when the Spawn of Goracle is careening down I-5 in a mobile pharmacy, it's everyone's business, especially law enforcement.

Gore: Son's pot bust 'private'

NEW YORK -- Former Vice President Al Gore said today he's glad his son is safe and getting treatment a day after the 24-year-old was arrested in California on suspicion of illegally possessing marijuana and prescription drugs.

"We love him very much," Gore told NBC's Today show, adding, "We are going to leave it as a private matter."

Well, I'm not. Maybe when your son was getting in trouble with the law as a minor back in the days before blogs, you had a willingly compliant media always willing to sweep it under the rug. Those days are over. You, your family and your son clearly have larger issues to deal with, and wouldn't it be perhaps a better idea that you spent time with them rather than traipsing around the globe preaching endless doom and gloom while inflating your ego, wallet and waistline?

Some trans-fat-free food for thought.

Gore, who appeared on NBC to publicize this weekend's Live Earth concerts, also briefly discussed politics.

He called President Bush's decision to commute the perjury and obstruction of justice sentence of former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby "disappointing" and reiterated that he has no plans to run for president, saying: "I don't expect to be a candidate again ever."

"I've kind of fallen out of love with politics," Gore said. He said the best use of his experience is to bring awareness and a sense of urgency to the issue of climate change.

Sure. I see his emotional grief hasn't diluted his ability to parse words in mealy-mouthed fashion.

Gore laughed when asked if he was ready to endorse a candidate for president. He said his evaluation would be based on what each decides to do about climate change.

"Some of them have made good, positive statements, but it's still treated as a side issue. I will predict for you that within the next 500 days that this issue will be the Number One issue on the agenda," he said.

It may be his Number One issue, but the rest of us have larger priorities, like staving off Islamofascist terrorists who want to murder us all.

It speaks volumes of a man who sat by as Vice President and did nothing to fight terrorism while pushing an environmental hoax on children and gullible adults.

UPDATE: Fishwrap links, with other assorted reaction as well.

Seemingly, the overwhelming response to this story is the revelation the Prius can get it up to 100 mph.

Son of Goracle Busted on Drug, DUI Charges

This punk has had numerous run-ins with the law, but since he's the spawn of The Sainted One, you never hear much about it. Now he's back in trouble.

LAGUNA NIGUEL, California -- Al Gore's son was pulled over for speeding on a California freeway early Wednesday and arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana and prescription drugs, authorities said.

Al Gore III, 24, was driving a blue Toyota Prius about 100 mph south on the San Diego Freeway when he was pulled over by sheriff's deputies who said they smelled marijuana, said Sheriff's Department spokesman Jim Amormino.

The deputies searched the car and found less than an ounce of marijuana along with Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and Adderall, which is used for attention deficit disorder, Amormino said.

"He does not have a prescription for any of those drugs," Amormino said.

Gore was being held in the men's central jail in Santa Ana on $20,000 bail

Some of his previous troubles go back a ways.

This is the second time he was arrested on a marijuana possession charge. Police in Montgomery County, Md., pulled over Gore in December 2003 and noticed the smell of pot and open windows and sunroof despite the freezing temperature.

Gore and his two male passengers at the time were charged with a misdemeanor count of possession of marijuana and released. Gore was also ticketed for reckless driving by North Carolina police in August 2000, and military police arrested him for drunk driving near a military base in Virginia in September 2002.

So we have three prior arrests, and he's still out on the street, endangering the lives of innocents, doing 100 mph while under the influence.

Next time his father lectures us all on how to live our lives, just think of the wonderful job he's doing as a father.

Al Gore's son busted for drugs in hybrid car

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The 24-year-old son of former Vice President Al Gore was arrested for drug possession on Wednesday after he was stopped for allegedly speeding in his hybrid Toyota Prius, a sheriff's official said.

Al Gore III -- whose father is a leading advocate of policies to fight global warming -- was driving his environmentally friendly car at about 100 miles (160 km) per hour on a freeway south of Los Angeles when he was pulled over by an Orange County sheriff's deputy at about 2:15 a.m.

So forget he's endangering his and other people's lives. He was driving an environmentally-friendly vehicle, and that's all that really matters, isn't it?
