A Prius can go 100 mph?

He's stoned at booking, no doubt. If he's driving in my community at 100mph and stoned, I want him jailed for felony time...even though I completely agree that the "War On Drugs" is a miserable failure that's become abusive.

He wasn't charged with DUI 23152(a)CVC though.

If little Gore was smart about it, he refused to perform FST's and refused a chemical sample (blood, breath or urine). The officers could have 'forced' him to submit a blood sample, but if they didn't.. DUI will never stick.

Officers apparently used "the strong odor of marijuana" as PC to search the car, but if he wasn't driving under the influence of marijuana.. he hadn't been smoking marijuana. Ergo there was no smoke for the officers to smell. Unless Al Gores son can smoke weed and be unaffected by it.

"The deputies said they smelled marijuana and searched the car, Amormino said. They found less than an ounce of marijuana along with Xanax, Valium, Vicodin and Adderall, which is used for attention deficit disorder, he said.

"He does not have a prescription for any of those drugs," Amormino said."


and driving 100mph increases your carbon footprint.

Ok... i think we may have found a connection here..

moray... you don't see the hypocracy of driving a prius past the speed limit?

What kind of mileage does that thing get when that tiny little engine is strained to the limit pushing 5,000 lbs of plastic and batteries around?

Hypocracy is saying or doing something and then extolling another action as being "proper".  I've never seen Al Gore's child talking about anything at all in the public eye...therefore his actions cannot be construed in that way.  My point is, commenting on what someone else's GROWN son chooses to do is ludacris.  He's 24 years old, and in possession of soft drugs.  I would venture to guess that 60% of 24 year olds in this country are in possession of some kind of soft drugs these days.  That's why it's called the experimentation age.

You have a right to pick Al Gore apart for this as much as I have a right to pick apart you for something your 20-ish adult children choose to do.... exactly zero.
If you choose to pick someone apart for drug use, your president was well known to use cocaine in his twenties.  But you won't go there will you?
THAT'S the definition of hypocracy.

I'm with you lazs... (feels forehead to check for fever)

But I bet it still gets better than a GMC Yukon doing 55... (narrowly misses having my lefty card pulled).

Much could be said about George Bush and his problem children..

moray... maybe I missunderstood.   I thought the car belonged to the son.

If so, he fits the description of someone saying, or, representing himself one way and acting the differently.   It is presumed that a person who buys a pious is doing so to "help"... if he then negates all the "good" the car is capable of...

He is then only driving it for looks.   It is like his father chiding us but having a huge wasteful home.

It is like you calling people "stupid" and participating in "dangerous behavoir" when not wearing a seat belt or helmet yet swimming without wearing a flotation device despite the number of drownings every year.
