Why wasn't former VP Al Gore's house invaded and ransacked in the quest for finding all of Al III's doobage?

The substance abuse diversion program is standard for first-time drug offenders, he said.

Reportedly this isn't his first drug offense.

Global warming made him do it. (Because it was so cold in NY when Al jr. made his last speech.)

Well well well.....Mr. Gore's drug posession conviction and sentence (not his first) is not much more harsh than Jenna Bush's sentence for underage drinking!

President Bush's niece's run in with the law over drugs got much more press.

Trying to buy beer in Chuy's is equal to driving a caddie drunk? Only CNN would think so.

He said there was no favoritism shown Gore because of his family's political stature.
"Regardless of who the defendant is ... we treat them in the exact same way,"

Too bad Rush doesn't live in MD.

Oh, wait, silly me, Rush starts with "R", and votes "R".

Never mind.

For Montgomery County MD that is a harsh sentence. In most cases he would be sentenced to serve on the County Council when stoned.

Searched for many variations, including just the word "Son". FRs search engine need a little tweak (or 12).

It does make a difference who you are, especially if you're 21, and mommy goes to court with you.
