Heard on TV news this morning that Al Gore's son, Albert the third, was picked up in Calif. for going 100 mph in his Prius. Had a small amount of marijuana with him, plus Vicodin, Valium, and something for ADD (I forget what). He's been picked up before, so this may be serious for him.
This fool boy! I feel bad for the Gore family. It's true that there are few families in this country without some sort of rascal, but in this case he could really hurt his father's chances of election to the Presidency.
On a lighter note, this should put to rest any concerns auto buyers have about the Prius's power! We have to answer questions all the time from friends about our car's power; they seem to have the impression that it's not so great. It's extra great, actually, and we pass people right and left, even going uphill.

No chance he's running in '08.
He'd have to lose a TON of weight first. LOL LOL LOL He has his phony image to uphold you know.
And yes, roadsmith, great job you did of TRYING, but failing, to minimize the actions of gore's son. Having a father like that would, imo, DRIVE a son to abuse any substance.

Al Gore's Son Arrested For Drug Possession
Wednesday, July 04, 2007
Al Gore III, son of the former vice president, was arrested in California early Wednesday morning for suspicion of possessing marijuana and prescription drugs.
Gore III was allegedly driving a blue Toyota Prius at speeds over 100 mph when he was pulled over around 2:15 a.m. on the San Diego freeway south of Los Angeles. Smelling marijuana, police searched the car and found less than one ounce of marijuana and prescription drugs Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and Adderall, Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesman Jim Armormino said. The last pharmaceutical is a treatment for attention deficit disorder.
"He does not have a prescription for any of those drugs," Amormino said.
Gore, 24, was released from a men's jail in Santa Ana after posting $20,000 bail.
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. Police were also tipped off by the open windows and sunroof despite the freezing temperature.
Gore, who at the time was a Harvard university student, and his two male passengers were charged with a misdemeanor count of possession of marijuana and released. The youngest of Al and Tipper Gore's four children then completed substance abuses classes as a pretrial diversion program, before settling the charges.
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. Gore III now lives in Los Angeles and is an associate publisher of GOOD, a magazine about philanthropy aimed at young people.

Linda has a problem with people that are overweight now. I guess she believes only skinny people or people of the proper weight should be allowed to be president. Does Linda base her decision for President on the way a person looks?
Linda, you're so vain.

Speaking for me again, yep it's a liberal trait alright.
I have NO problem with overweight people...and have expressed that on these boards before.
What I have NOTICED, through observation is that EACH time gore's runs for political office he drops a TON of weight.

Gore's son is 24 years old so hardly a 'boy' and is old enough to take responsibility for his actions.
I think Al Gore's intelligence is an issue with the far right. They seem to prefer the dummy leaders who beat the war drums and can't form complete sentences because they can identify with them more.
posted on July 5, 2007 08:05:29 AMYes, as they have with you, you inventor of the internet.
More lies from the right.
Media perpetuate myth that Gore claimed to have "invented" Internet
In recent days, major newspapers and media personalities have revived the myth that, during his presidential run, former Vice President Al Gore claimed he "invented" the Internet. Although these media outlets persist in repeating or alluding to it, this falsehood has long since been debunked. Gore did not say he "invented" the Internet. In the March 9, 1999, interview on CNN's Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer that gave rise to the myth, Gore actually said: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."
In the past year alone, The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Associated Press have all published columns, editorials, or articles that repeat or perpetuate the myth that Gore said he invented the Internet, ignoring their own reporting to the contrary:
On January 12, Washington Post columnist Al Kamen wrote: "We all know that Al Gore invented the Internet." Just one day earlier, Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote: "The term [prebuttal -- which Milbank defined as "the act of rebutting an opponent's speech before the speech is delivered"], like the Internet, was apparently invented by Vice President Al Gore." By contrast, Richard Morin and Claudia Deane reported in an article in the August 1, 2004, issue of The Washington Post Magazine: "For the record, Gore never claimed to have invented the Internet, rather that he 'took the initiative in creating the Internet' while in Congress."
More recently, in an "Innovators Quiz" on June 29, 2006, the Post asked: "Who is most closely associated" with the Internet -- Vinton G. Cerf, Robert Kahn, or Al Gore? In the Answers section, the Post wrote: "Former vice president Al Gore gets a lot of flak for supposedly claiming to have 'invented' the Internet; actually, he said he took [the] initiative in creating the Internet, and in fact he did introduce legislation in Congress that helped spur its creation."
In a January 7 op-ed (subscription required) for The New York Times, conservative commentator Ben Stein described Gore as "none other than the founder of the Internet himself." About a year before, on February 6, 2006, the Times' Stuart Elliot had thanked (subscription required) Gore "for inventing the Internet." However, on March 21, 1999, soon after Gore made his original comment, the Times accurately reported: "[Gore] said in an interview with CNN that while a member of Congress, 'I took the initiative in creating the Internet.' "
In a December 26 article, AP entertainment writer Jake Coyle wrote: "Here are a few of the loose ends and oddities left over from a year of clicking around on Al Gore's Internet." But on August 31, 2000, the AP had reported that "[t]he vice president has often joked that his biggest mistake in this campaign was his March 1999 comment on CNN: 'During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.' Gore has since said he meant only that he took the lead in laying down the policy that helped develop the vast computer network."
In an April 27, 2006, editorial, the Los Angeles Times wrote: "The goal [of the Information Policy Action Committee] is to give lawmakers, all of whom were born long before erstwhile colleague Al Gore even dreamed of inventing the Internet, a taste of unbridled technological innovation." But on September 20, 2000, the Los Angeles Times had reported that "Gore did not say he was the Internet's inventor but in 1999 he did say, 'During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.' "
A number of television personalities have also made similar comments in the past year.
On the June 15, 2006, edition of MSNBC's The Situation with Tucker Carlson, host Tucker Carlson said he "did know" Gore invented the Internet:
MAX KELLERMAN (HBO Boxing commentator): Don't you know Al Gore invented the Internet, Tucker?
CARLSON: I did know that.
KELLERMAN: Haven't you been paying attention?
CARLSON: A wonder he didn't get elected president. Max Kellerman. Thank you, Max.
KELLERMAN: Thank you.
On the May 26, 2006, edition of CNBC's Kudlow & Company, co-host and Wall Street Journal editorial board member Stephen Moore referred to Gore as "the guy who invented the internet":
MOORE: Myron, I'm surprised that you're saying that Al Gore is stretching the truth. After all, this is the guy who invented the Internet. But let me ask a question.
ROBERT REICH (co-host): That is a -- that is very low blow, Stephen Moore.
MOORE: That's what we're here for.
REICH: You're a friend of mine. We want to elevate debate -- elevate debate.
On the May 15, 2006, edition of ABC News Now, ABC News correspondent Dan Harris said Gore "invented the Internet":
HARRIS: Our research department says there actually is no Six Flags Tehran. By the way, there is a Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey --
We move to yet another Al Gore invention: the seatbelt. Just kidding -- he only invented the Internet. But a lot of people are shunning safety these days and going unbuckled.

But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system

Why would a person who could not carry his own home state in a presidential election want to run again. Gore is about as well thought of in Tennessee as Clinton is in Arkansas. And before you holler, I live not too far from Arkansas and have many friends there. Ask Bubba's classmates in Hot Springs what they think of him.
posted on July 5, 2007 09:22:08 AMLOL He said HE created the internet.
Wrong again. He did not say that. That is what you want to believe. Gore said I took the initiative in creating the Internet."
If Gore really wanted to take credit for the internet or internets, why didn't he just say "He created"
Initiative:
1. an introductory act or step; leading action: to take the initiative in making friends.
2. readiness and ability in initiating action; enterprise: to lack initiative.
3. one's personal, responsible decision: to act on one's own initiative.
1. The power or ability to begin or to follow through energetically with a plan or task; enterprise and determination.
2. A beginning or introductory step; an opening move: took the initiative in trying to solve the problem.
Gore took the beginning steps in the creation of the internets. Linda needs to learn how to comprehend the words in Gore's statement.
If you do a thesaurs search for initiative, create does not come up for a word meaning the same thing as initiative.

GO complain to the liberal MSM papers then. LOL
"In the past year alone, The Washington Post, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Associated Press have all published columns, editorials, or articles......
It certainly appears I'm not alone then. Just those who are so to not notice that those 'supposed' intellectuals saw what gore said/lied about in the same fashion.
funny. Maybe they too used the 'wrong' dictionary. Maybe they too didn't understand the meaning of words.
LOL....anything but ADMIT gore said it himself.
==================
LOL at gore not carrying his own state. edwards couldn't even get re-elected to his own state. LOL

I agree. Probably has trouble even knowing who his father is...with as many times as gore's re-invented himself over the years.
