I couldn’t believe it when I heard the news this morning.  Al Gore III, the son of Eco-Alarmist Al Gore was busted in Southern California.  His Hybrid car was a bit TOO green:

Al Gore’s son arrested on drug charges

Al Gore’s son was arrested early Wednesday on suspicion of possessing marijuana and prescription drugs after deputies pulled him over for speeding, authorities said.

Al Gore III, 24, was driving a blue Toyota Prius about 100 mph on the San Diego Freeway when he was pulled over at about 2:15 a.m., Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jim Amormino said.

I pause to admit I was impressed that he managed to take that little eggbeater car up to triple digits.

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.

Apparently marijuana green is too green.  PETA would be happy, it is completely animal product free.

The son of the former vice president and Democratic presidential nominee also was pulled over and arrested for pot possession in December 2003, in Bethesda, Md., while he was a student at Harvard University.

He completed substance abuse counseling as part of a pretrial diversion program to settle those charges.

The youngest of Al and Tipper Gore’s four children and their only son, Gore lives in Los Angeles and is an associate publisher of GOOD, a magazine about philanthropy aimed at young people.

Apparently one of those philosophies is “better living through Chemistry”…

Now.  Quiz time.  Here we have a famous liberal busted on drugs.  Where will he go?

Rehab.

The fools at Democratic Underground  are claiming that it’s just a plot by Bush an to make Al Gore look bad. (HT Texas Fred)

Now we know where Al Gore III got his stash.  Smoke another bowl gang….
