What's More Interesting?

So, Al Gore's kid got pulled over in a car for speeding. He had a bunch of drugs with him. The linked article, in prominent part:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The 24-year-old son of former Vice President Al Gore was arrested for drug possession on Wednesday after he was stopped for speeding in his hybrid Toyota Prius, a sheriff's official said.

Al Gore III -- whose father is a leading advocate of policies to fight global warming -- was driving his environmentally friendly car at about 100 miles per hour on a freeway south of Los Angeles when he was pulled over by an Orange County sheriff's deputy at about 2:15 a.m.

The deputy smelled marijuana and searched the car, said sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino. The search turned up a small amount of marijuana, along with prescription drugs including Valium, Xanax, Vicodin, Adderall and Soma. There were no prescriptions found, he said.

Gore was arrested on suspicion of drug possession and booked into the Inmate Reception Center in Santa Ana, about 34 miles south of Los Angeles, on $20,000 bail. Although he quickly identified himself as the son of the former vice president, Amormino said Gore received no special privileges.

The question one is forced to ask: what is the most interesting portion of this article?

Certainly not the fact that another kid of a wealthy, powerful person is living rebelliously.

No, it's that a Prius can hit 100 mph.

Sad, no? (But, really, was I the only one who was shocked to hear that you could do 100 in a freakin' Prius?)
