This is meaningless, but I have the dubious distinction of being AG3's fifth cousin (AG1 and my grandmother were third cousins).

Anyhoo, our nation's history of presidential and vice-presidential children being involved with drugs goes back to Ford (at least).

Up until now I had chalked up Chelsea not being in the news as a result of her seeing what a big f***ing mess her father made of things with his personal-life choices, and learning better. Sigh.

The conservatives who are getting a bunch of schadenfreude out of Al Gore III's arrest should grow the fuck up.

Keep that in mind the next time some...progressive bring up any of the younger Bushes indiscretions, or maybe Mary Chenney's sexual orientation...

On the other hand, who knew a Prius could do 100 MPH?

If I paid that much attention on the foibles of the Left I'd never get anything done.

AGIII got in the cross hairs when the Gore people leaked W's 1976 DUI arrest(after it was expunged) and used it as an example of someone who got preferential treatment because of his daddy. We all know he had the book thrown at him and the leaker that committed a felony by passing around an expunged file was never even charged with a crime. AGIII was arrested for reckless driving, driving under the influence and driving at an excessive rate of speed(40mph over the limit) in Aug. 2000, and when the case was processed, conveniently after the election, he DID get preferential treatment with the serious charges dropped($125 fine). AGIII repeated the pattern with 2002 and 2003 arrests. Funny how the media can't even get that straight. ABC does manage to go on about W's daughters in the story of AGIII's current arrest though, and I suspect they're not the only ones. Forgive the Right if they have no choice but to rage against the machine of Leftist media domination and bias.

That said, AGIII's problems are his own. And AGII's life, words, and actions are sufficient to generate all the negative copy ever needed. And then some.

I must go purchase a carbon credit now to atone for my cigarette which is the principal cause of Global Warming, you know.

It never hurts to point out the foibles of those who claim not to have such foibles. They're hypocritical, elitist snobs and it should be pointed out.

The correct response to those who point to any advantages G.W. Bush enjoyed due to his father's position is to point to the advantages Al Gore, Jr. enjoyed by virtue of being Al Gore, Sr.'s son—and there were plenty of them.

The correct response to publicizing the hijinks of the the Bush twins is eye-rolling. Or, perhaps (in extreme circumstances) muttering the term "Kennedy clan" under one's breath.

Joy,

I agree with you.
