Likely he'll grow up to be just like Scooter Libby. And, hopefully, a Democrat will be President so any future sentencing can be commuted. 0 -
Robert,
This boy needs help and fast, or he's not going to see the next president from either party.
I guess if Al II was my father, I would be a druggy too.0 -

I'm not quite getting the title to the thread "another arrest" ?
The July 4th arrest has already been widely reported including a thread on this forum dated July 4. Where does the term "another" come in to play?0 -

Yeah, just like Rush needed all that Oxycontin to deal with the headache Dubya has given him.0 -
Why is everyone so upset? Dont we know that al gore invented all those medications, so it would only be natural that a few were found in the car? 0 -
We're beating a dead horse, here. But I gotta say, what if it was your kid? I'm a conservative, but I don't think Al Gore is the devil. I strongly disagree with his politics, but I believe he and his wife are good people. Al III will probably straighten out in a few years, but not until he runs his parents through the wringer.
Remember, a dead liberal is one we can't convert.0 -
I don't believe it one bit.
