Al Gore III, the ex-veep's son, seems to have a bit of a reckless streak. He's been arrested after driving his Prius under the influence, going 100 mph, with an impressive stash of weed and pharms -- "a small amount of marijuana, along with prescription drugs including Valium, Xanax, Vicodin and Adderall, said sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino. There were no prescriptions found, he said."

This isn't a one-time stupid mistake, either; he's been arrested on similar charges before. The spokesman says he "quickly identified himself as the son of the former vice president" -- no word on whether he used the "Do you know who my father is?" line.

Perhaps the real news here, though, is that someone was able to get a Prius up to 100 mph.
