Al Gore's Son Arrested for Pot Possession

Sunday December 21, 2003 2:46 AM


WASHINGTON (AP) - The son of former vice president and 2000 Democratic
presidential candidate Al Gore has been charged with marijuana possession.

Albert A. Gore III, 21, was arrested Friday night after he was stopped for
driving a vehicle without its headlights on.

Two passengers were also arrested and charged with misdemeanor marijuana
possession. They were identified as Yann V. Kumin, 21, and Marc G. Hordon,
22, both of Cambridge, Mass.

A Montgomery County, Md., police officer stopped the car, a dark-colored
Cadillac, in Bethesda, a Washington suburb, around 11:30 p.m. Friday.

The officer noticed the car's windows and sunroof were open, despite cold
temperatures Friday night. There was also a smell of marijuana coming from
the vehicle, according to a news release from the police department.

A search of the vehicle turned up a partial marijuana cigarette, a cigarette
box containing suspected marijuana, and a soft drink can that also smelled
of marijuana.

All three were released pending trial.

In September 2002, the younger Gore was ticketed for driving under the
influence. He was pulled over and ticketed by military police just outside
Fort Myer in suburban Virginia, but was not taken into custody.

In the summer of 2000, Gore was cited by the North Carolina Highway Patrol
for driving 97 mph in a 55-mph zone. Under an agreement with prosecutors, a
reckless driving charge was dropped in the North Carolina case, but he was
fined $125 for speeding and his driving privileges in the state were
suspended.

If Gore were President, it would probably be legal by now.

In that case, Harry would probably say,
"Care for a toke, Doc?"

(insert trouble makin grin here)

If Gore were President, we'd probably have decriminalized possession of
small quantities of pot by now. Instead, we have a criminal as a president.

There is a major difference between possession and toking as you tool down
the road. Seems as if you were obnoxious on the Bush girls drinking, and I
do not remember them being arrested while driving.

Oh, my god, the horror of it all! They should give Gore the death
penalty, right away! Hey, NOYB, it's 2003. Quit living like it's 1953!
