Al Gore's Son arrested for speeding and drugs

[Rudey]

1) Who the heck speeds with a Prius?
2) Normally I'm against any drug arrest, especially for pharmas, but that's one heck of a goody bag Al had with him.
3) Why isn't the dad bailing him out? I felt bad for him until I saw the Roman Numeral at the end of his name and then I was like "ef him".

Al Gore III, 24, was driving a blue Toyota Prius about 100 miles an hour on the San Diego Freeway near the Crown Valley exit in Laguna Hills when he was pulled over by an Orange County sheriff’s deputy at about 2:15 this morning, a sheriff’s department spokesman, Jim Amormino, said.

The deputy smelled marijuana and searched the car, Mr. Amormino said. In the search, the deputy found less than an ounce of marijuana and a clutch of prescription pills that included the narcotic Vicodin, addictive sleep and anxiety aids Valium, Xanax and Soma, and the amphetamine Adderall, which is approved to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder but is also a powerful stimulant.

daaaaaaaaaaayum that's quite a collection. Personally, kudos to daddy Gore if he can stay out of this and let his son explain why precisely he had the need for weed and a mini-pharmacy in his car.

A Prius can go that fast?

The fact that he was speeding in a Prius is the part that cracks me up. Are we sure this isn't Onion-generated?
