Hey everyone. I hope all of you had a happy and safe 4th of July. Everyone count their fingers now to make sure all your digits are there. There is one person who didn't have such a safe and happy 4th. Let's take a looksee.
Damn the bad luck...
This has to be chalked up to just plain bad luck.
Al Gore's son busted for
drugs in hybrid car;
Wed Jul 4, 2007; Reuters
The dry ball's son seems to have run into a little problem.
The 24-year-old son of
former Vice
President Al Gore was arrested for drug
possession on Wednesday after he was
stopped for speeding in his hybrid Toyota
Prius, a sheriff's official said.
Quick, someone check to see if the Prius is
all right (big smile). Guess that's not
necessary.
Al Gore III -- whose father
is a leading
advocate of policies to fight global warming
-- was driving his environmentally friendlly car
at about 100 miles per hour on a freeway
south of Los Angeles when he was pulled
over by an Orange County sheriff's deputy at
about 2:15 a.m.
I wonder how environmentally friendly 100mph is.
The deputy smelled marijuana
and searched
the car, said sheriff's spokesman Jim
Amormino. The search turned up a small
amount of marijuana, along with prescription
drugs including Valium, Xanax, Vicodin,
Adderall and Soma. There were no
prescriptions found, he said.
A few more different types and he could have
opened up his own drug store.
Gore was arrested on
suspicion of drug
possession and booked into the Inmate
Reception Center in Santa Ana, about 34
miles south of Los Angeles, on $20,000
bail.
Anyone notice anything just a little bit strange?
Although he quickly identified himself as the
son of the former vice president, Amormino
said Gore received no special
privileges.
Anyone catch what's going on here? Come
on Eye, you cynic. Can't you see he was not
given any special treatment? Give the guy a
break.
The youngest child and only son of the
former
vice president, Gore has had previous
brushes with the law. He was arrested in 2003
for marijuana possession and in 2002 for
suspected drunken-driving.
Have you caught it, or do I have to spell it out to you? You're just trying to rub it in
Eye. You are such a schmuck.
Let's look at the story. On the surface it seems like straight forward reporting of the news. If that's what you're thinking, you're correct. A straight forward report of Algore's offspring getting his head handed to him.
That's the problem. Every news outlet is reporting this story. WHY? Anyone hear of his 2003 arrest? (Nope) Anyone hear of his 2002 arrest? (Nope) Why this one (huge smile)?. Because it's
news Eye. Don't you know that?
You had to scour the internet to find out the other busts. Just like you had to scour archives to find out the busts of Roger Clinton, the Ex-impeached-President's brother, for his cocaine trafficking and drunken driving arrest shortly after Billie-bob pardoned him. Those things are not reported widely in the news, except for now.
Why is
that Eye?
Algore has been getting a huge amount of press coverage and notoriety for his stupid movie. He also has thoughts of running for president again in 2008. Ol' Broom Hillary and Billie-bob are just making sure the press fully covers the Gore story. Better take him out now before he gets too ambitious. The Witch Hillary doesn't need the competition.
Speaking of that Loving Couple. . .
As we move through the last half of the year, you will see more and more articles on the Lovebird Clintons. This stuff is going to make you puke, but get used to it. It ain't even started yet.
Clintons Push for Another Four Years; Jul
3
07:40 PM US/Eastern; By NEDRA PICKLER;
Associated Press Writer
Now if that headline doesn't scare you, nothing will (cringe).
The force dubbed "Billary"-the duo of
former
President Clinton and his leading Democratic
candidate wife-argued on Tuesday for a third
term in the White House, telling Iowa voters a
return to the Clinton years is the best remedy
for the Bush era.
I don't think they really get the idea that people really don't want to remember the Clinton years. I don't know who is advising the Bobsie Twins but a reminder of the Clinton years does not conjure up great memories in most Americans.
In a joint appearance, the Clintons sought
to
give Hillary Rodham Clinton the advantages of
quasi-incumbency while portraying her as an
agent of change. It's a difficult balance in
Iowa, site of the first caucus and where Sen.
Clinton faces a tough challenge from two
fresher faces: Barack Obama and John
Edwards.
I don't know for sure, but I think this is the first time they've appeared in public together since they left the White House (with half the furnishings in tow). Fresher faces? You might mention that John Edwards has had a fresh haircut. The last one cost him $1275. (Pssst. The Clintons made sure that story got out too.)
"I know that some of you are very excited
about the fact that we have a chance to
make history together and elect the first
woman president in the United States," she
said, drawing the most enthusiastic applause
of her half-hour speech. "Well, I'm excited
by that, too. But I'm not running because I'm
a woman. I'm running because I think I'm the
best qualified and experienced person to hit
the ground running in January 2009."
Anyone ever examine her qualifications? Her resume padding has one entry, "Wife of the only elected impeached president". In the minds of the liberals, I guess that is qualification enough.
The former president made sure to try to
keep the focus on her, making a glowing
nine-minute introduction at the rally, then
stepping off the stage during her
performance. She used her time to criticize
President Bush's record. The New York
senator, born in the Chicago suburbs, also
talked about her family and Midwestern
values.
Notice the lack of information on where she had been living the previous 25 years before stealing their way into DC. I guess Arkansas doesn't count.
In a brief telephone interview with The
Associated Press, Hillary Clinton drew a
distinction between Bush's decision to
commute the sentence of White House aide I.
Lewis "Scooter" Libby-which she has harshly
criticized-and her husband's 140 pardons in
his closing hours in office.
The distinction is quite simple, but has also been left out. Billie-bob sold his pardons. Ask Marc Rich. His donation to the Clinton library and Massage Parlor wasn't without strings attached.
