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.
Background
As a child, Gore attended St. Albans school. In April 1989, Gore was the victim of a near-fatal car accident while attending a Baltimore Orioles baseball game in Baltimore, Maryland. As a result of the accident, doctors were forced to remove approximately 60% of his spleen. He also sustained a concussion and fractures to a leg and a rib, as well as bruises to the lung, kidney, and pancreas. His father chose to stay near him during the recovery, bypassing a possible presidential run in 1992. This was discussed in his father's 2006 book, An Inconvenient Truth and in the 2006 documentary of the same name.
Gore sustained an ankle injury while playing lacrosse in 2000. In order to accompany him during his treatment, Tipper was forced to miss a campaign trip through Tennessee. Her daughter Karenna Gore Schiff replaced her during part of the bus trip, appearing at a rally in Nashville, while a latter portion of the trip was cancelled.
On December 19, 2003, Gore was arrested and charged with marijuana possession in Bethesda, Maryland. He was pulled over by an officer because he was driving without having his headlights on. A plea deal was reached in February 2004 and he was sentenced to a substance abuse program.
Gore graduated from Harvard University in 2005.
Current
As of October 2006, Gore works as an associate publisher of Good magazine, a recent start-up published in Los Angeles.
Gore commented in a December 14, 2006, article in the New York Observer: "I know that has no plans to run in 2008 Well, I guess I have to add his addendum. I think the way he always says it is, 'I don't see any circumstances under which I would run for president'."
On July 4, 2007, Gore was arrested in Laguna Hills in Orange County, California for speeding over 100 MPH in a Toyota Prius. Gore admitted to recently smoking marijuana and was found to be in possession of a small amount of marijuana along with prescription pharmaceuticals. Police reported that Gore had not been prescribed the pharmaceuticals.
