Albert A. Gore III, the son of former Vice President Al Gore, was arrested last night in Bethesda, Md. for possession of marijuana.

According to Montgomery County police, Gore was driving a dark-colored Cadillac through downtown Bethesda around 11:30 p.m. with the car's headlights off.

Police officers who were conducting a campaign against impaired driving during the holiday season stopped the car and noticed that despite the freezing temperature, all the car's windows were open as well as the sunroof.

When the officer spoke with the driver, Mr. Gore, he smelled the odor of marijuana coming from inside the car.

When officers searched the car, they found what appeared to be a partial marijuana cigarette near the center console area. They also found a baggie of suspected marijuana inside a cigartette box and a crushed soda can with an odor of marijuana coming from the interior of the can.

Gore and the two passengers in the car were charged with one count of possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. All three were released pending trial.

Local Channel 4 reported this on their 6 o'clock news, but there is nothing online as of yet.

[wylenetheconservative]

Is this real?

[Howlin]

So, he gave up drinking for dope, eh?

Obviously whatever the punishment was that he got for his last "infraction" didn't stick.

[EggsAckley]

The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.

How stupid is this kid to be driving around at eleven PM with no lights? He might as well put a target on his back.

[Clint Williams]

Did he inhale?

[OldFriend]

He was expelled from private boarding school for dope, long time ago.

[kristinn]

Yes. I got a copy of the police department's press release, which I based this report on after seeing the local news earlier.

[Sub-Driver]

I'm shocked, where's the working family values. I bet tax cuts made him do it.

[A. Morgan]

HAHAHA!

[It's me]

Noooo! I don't believe it! He couldn't have done such a thing!

/sarcasm

[07055]

And I am sure this will get as much publicity as the legal problems of the Bush girls, right?

[Quilla]

Yes, and when the officer stopped him, he inquired, "Son, do you know how fast you were going?" Young Gore responded "50?" The officer replied " try 15."

[Kevin Curry]

It appears he's well on his way to a stellar career in the Democratic Party.

[eddie willers]

How stupid is this kid to be driving around at eleven PM with no lights?

That's why they call it "Dope".

[BulletBobCo]

The media is keeping this quiet as nothing has appeared on google news search.

[kristinn]

I'm surprised (not) that other news outlets haven't reported this. It reminds me of his speeding arrest that was covered up by the press right before the Democrat's 2000 convention.

[Ann Archy]

Didn't his father INVENT marijuana??

[NeoCaveman]

If OwlGore was my dad, I'd get high all the time too!

[wylenetheconservative]

Oh hell yeah!!!!!!! I'll bet the press won't pile on him like they do the Bush daughters, though. Al jr., just like his dad, is a dope addict.

[ValerieUSA]

How old is Junior now? 24?

[BulletBobCo]

Didn't his father INVENT marijuana??

No....he invented DOPE.

[LibWhacker]

To give these ratty neo-fascists a taste of their own medicine, Al Gore's house should be vacuumed for additional drug evidence, trace or otherwise. If any is found, he should be imprisoned and his home confiscated.

[Keith in Iowa]

I bet the media give him the same treatment they gave Jeb's daughter in Florida...NOT!

[ValerieUSA]

Opps, Junior is Daddy -- the youngest is the Third.

[Just another Joe]

Unless he had the marijuana on his person one of the others will take the fall.

If it was just in the car one of the others will claim that it was his and Goreboy will get off.

[Young Werther]

Didn't Algore invent STUPID?

[mhking]

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[ValerieUSA]

Chief Moose's men bagged a baggie.

[visualops]

Bethesda, my home town.
I remember the Montgomery County cops too lol
I violated the right-of-way of a cop car down in Bethesda my senior year of HS. Lucky for me a polite repentant smile and lots of "Yes, Sir" got me an admonishment to "be more careful". I didn't even have get out of the car.
Back then it was still a bit like a small town. It's all DC sprawl now, I wouldn't even know my way around I'm sure. There's always been lots of VIP and assorted other rich kids getting caught in various forms of rebellion, so this wasn't any big deal I'm sure. But, sounds like Al Jr. ain't too bright driving around Bethesda like that LOL

[NeoCaveman]

Didn't Algore invent STUPID?

Nope. But he perfected it.

[PJ-Comix]

I don't blame the son. If Algore were my father, I would be smoking crack to kill the pain.

[river rat]

This acorn doper, didn't fall far from the tree....

Stupid is as stupid does...
And these assholes want to run the country, again!

Semper Fi

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

Isn't this the second time this has happened?

[whereasandsoforth]

It wasn't a tobacco arrest so there shouldn't be any problem in the Gore house.

[NativeNewYorker]

despite the freezing temperature, all the car's windows were open as well as the sunroof

Been there. Done that. But I stopped when I was a teenager.

[Hildy]

Come on, we didn't like when they did it to the Bush girls and we shouldn't make a big deal about this.

[MEG33]

How can you compare the harmless smoking of an illegal substance while operating a car with the headlights off at night ...with underage drinking in a restaurant?/sarcasm

[wylenetheconservative]

Al Sr. = Segregationist
Al Jr. = Coward and Dope Addict
Al III = Dope Addict...with more years to live up to the family name.

The classic Democrat family.

[BSunday]

Stupid is as stupid does...

[leadpenny]

Hey Kristinn, David Kendall and some of Hillary!'s other "Researchers" live in the Bethesda area.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Maybe Dean can heal him through some kind of therapy.

[Frohickey]

Again? This guy is turning out to be a real dopehead.

[DeFault User]

Didn't his father INVENT marijuana??

Actually, Gore was a narc who tried to eliminate the weed by smoking as much of it as possible. What a guy!

[DoctorMichael]

........ssssssssssssssssssssssssssstt.......Oh wow, man.

[EGPWS]

Yes, and when the officer stopped him, he inquired, "Son, do you know how fast you were going?" Young Gore responded "50?" The officer replied " try 15."

So he was driving as fast as his father talks? Gee's he should get 15 years minimum just for being an annoyance to the public.

[ErnBatavia]

but there is nothing online as of yet.

Well, there is now...right here! I'll bet FReep gets a lot more viewers than almost any "Channel 4"...

[el_chupacabra]

He just made himself a frontrunner for the libertarian nomination.

[Clint Williams]

I wouldn't expect the iberal media to follow up on this...

[mylife]

If AlBaby was my daddy I'd be loadin the bong too!

Seriesly this isnt that hugh!
