 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into Al Gore. (Discuss) Proposed since October 2006. |
Albert Arnold Gore III (born October 19 1982) is the son of former United States Vice President Al Gore and Tipper Gore and the grandson of former United States Senator from Tennessee Al Gore, Sr. He is best-known for being mentioned in an emotional vice-presidential nomination acceptance speech by his father during the 1992 Democratic National Convention. Gore graduated from Harvard University, his father's alma mater.
In April 1989, Gore was the victim of a near-fatal car accident while attending a baseball game in Baltimore, Maryland. Because of this and the resulting lengthy healing process, his father chose to stay near him during the recovery instead of laying the foundation for a presidential primary campaign against eventual Democratic party nominee, Bill Clinton. Albert Gore III, and the accident, is the subject of a chapter in Al Gore Jr.'s 2006 book, An Inconvenient Truth. Gore is also prominently mentioned in the 2006 documentary of the same name.
Legal trouble
- In August 2000, Gore was ticketed for reckless driving by North Carolina police when he was clocked going 94 mph in a 55 mph zone.
- On September 5, 2002, he was arrested and ticketed, but not taken into custody, for driving under the influence by military police near Fort Myer, Virginia
- On December 19, 2003, he was arrested and charged with marijuana possession in Bethesda, Maryland. A plea deal was reached in February 2004 and he was sentenced to a substance abuse program.
