not so fast

July 4th, 2007 by Michelle

Al Gore’s son, 24-year-old Al Gore III, inadvertently plugged the Prius by driving it 100 mph on the San Diego Freeway in the wee hours of this morning. Did anyone know this spiffy little bit of green machinery could go so fast? Unfortunately for papa, Gore was stopped by the cops, who found pot and a number of prescription drugs in the car. This just days after Jenna Bush was seen sweetly hugging children (and seeming perfectly natural and content in the act–she is, after all, an elementary school teacher) in Africa. Gore’s son misbehavin’ while one of the Bush twins makes good? Seems more like April Fools than the Fourth of July.
