The Nut Doesn't fall to far from the Tree.
What kind of gas mileage do you get in a Prius going 100 mph?
Helluva way to celebrate the Fourth.
The kid obviously has problems.
Can a Prius really go 100 mph?
He looks a bit like Steve Howe...and he’ll be lucky if he doesn’t suffer a similar fate.
He’s a young man in need of a lot of prayer. Perhaps folks here could take a moment to offer a quick prayer for young Mr. Gore’s sake.
“If young people have emptiness in their lives, if they have a lack of respect for the larger community of which they’re a part, if they don’t find ways to feel connected to the adults who are in the community, if they feel there’s phoniness and hypocrisy and corruption and immorality, then they are much more vulnerable to the drug dealers, to the peers who tempt them with messages that are part of a larger entity of evil.” So spoke Al Gore in February 1999, denouncing illegal drug use by young people.
Phoniness? Hypocrisy? Corruption? Immorality? Those four words nicely sum up the Clinton-Gore “anti-drug” policy.

Back in my druggo daze I knew better than to violate the law while carrying.
Speeding in a Prius? Must have been the turbo-nitro model with dual magnetos.
What an idiot.
Looks more like Tipper...
Gore has long admitted that he smoked pot, both during his stint in Vietnam and for a “brief while” after his return. He claims that it was only a few times.
Here again he seems to be lying. Former drug buddies of Gore’s have come forward to say that he was a heavy smoker, right up until his first run for Congress in 1976. In college, Gore was said to be hanging out in the basement of his dorm, getting high and watching TV most of the time. After his return from Vietnam, friends such as John Warnecke say that got high with Gore as often as 3 or 4 times a week, listening to Grateful Dead albums and talking about what they would do if they were president. “Al Gore stoned was a mix of expansiveness, melancholy and paranoia,” Warnecke said.

Sure. First you attach a JATO (Jet Assisted Take Off) to the back of it, then find a long straightaway to the desert...
“speeding in his hybrid Toyota Prius”
Nothing says ‘moonbat’ quite like a Prius.
Heck he’s made of tougher stuff than me. If Al was my dad I’d take Drano.
“I inhaled the internets.”
I can’t wait until SNL spoofs this...isn’t it funny? It is so hilarious to see someone addicted to drugs and alcohol....oh wait...its only funny if its RUSH or Bush’s daughters???? oh....my bad.
He needs to share a jail cell with his son for this fraud he commits everyday.
Scum, all of them.
I remember watching him being medevaced out of the parking lot at Orioles Opening Day in 1989. I heard his skull was pretty much crushed in that accident.
Al Gore III busted after raiding Al Gore Jr.'s Medicine cabinet and going for a drive.
It's OK. I sold him some of my carbon credits.
