Former Vice President Al Gore's son, Albert Gore III, has been arrested for marijuana possession:

Two passengers were also arrested and charged with marijuana possession.

Police noticed the car's windows and sunroof were open, despite cold temperatures. There was also a smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle, according to the police department.

More "news" about the drunk and/or drug abusing children of politicians. Ok, so Albert allegedly likes the chronic, but so do millions of other people out there. Let's just legalize and tax the weed and maybe, just maybe, this kind of thing will stop being news.

As for the driving under the influence part, if that turns out to be a charge, that is disturbing and demands a much stiffer penalty. Imagine if these alleged stoners hit somebody crossing the street because there were no headlights on, now that would be news. So if they didn't have a designated driver then I hope they throw the book at them.

If President Bush has a lush for a daughter, Clinton has a creative cigar dipping fetish, or former Vice President Gore has a stoner son, how much does this really impact their job performance?
