Al Gore III, son of former Vice-President and current global warming evangelist Al Gore, today copped a guilty plea to two felony counts of drug possession, two misdemeanor counts of drug possession without a prescription, and one misdemeanor count of marijuana possession.

And as one would expect Gore III got off with not even a slap on the wrist, which one defense lawyer who is not involved in his case pronounced as “passing the sniff test”.

Gore was busted back on July 4th, going 100 mph in his Toyota Prius, possibly trying to outrun global warming.

Or maybe he was just trying to get complete his drug run before the fireworks shows started.

Anyhow, if Gore III behaves between now and February 2009 he will be home free, just like he had never been busted.

In the meantime he continues to hang out at a live-in treatment center where he has been since his arrest.
