Bad Week For Algore

[Conan71]

I see in the Tulsa Whirled today, two notable snippets on our former VP.

The Live Earth concert in Rio has been cancelled due to security concerns and his son got busted for drugs out in California.

Only good news seems to be that his son was driving a hybrid when he was stopped. [8D]

I don't really care if Al Gores son was poking smot or not.  I mean, it is newsworthy just because of who he is... but it doesnt effect my opinion of Al (or his son really).

I do not agree with Al's politics, but I kinda feel bad for him this week.  I think he thinks he is doing what he thinks is right, I think.  Which I think I respect. []

Didn't change my opinion of Gore one bit.  I still think he's a dolt.  

I found it interesting that they happened to note in the newspaper story that his son was stopped while driving a Toyota Prius.  "He's a dope smoker, had numerous pills without a 'scrip, but he is doing his part for the enviornment." [}:)]

He was driving in excess of 100 mph...what a bad*ss![}:)]


These dorkmobiles can exceed the speed limit?  Who knew?

The car was on crank...It was arrested and impounded....

Rio concert is back on.

[Conan71]

So they managed to find enough federales to police it.  Good for them.

What is the band line-up for Rio?

I find it funny and very convenient that it is considered hip for me to drive a 20,000 dollar, half engin-ed car.

How about little Al getting picked up from the pokey in a Maserati

Just another example of the "do as I say, not as I do" mindset of this family

[Conan71]

I hope they are keeping track so they can stay paid up on their carbon credits. [xx(]

Maybe he carpooled home from jail. You know, four people in a Maserati gets better gas mileage than one person in a hybrid.

Half-engined or two-engined?  That's what honks me off about those things.  Some people might say that a car with two drivetrains is a waste and poor use of finite resources.  I am certainly some of those people.
