Al Gore: "Thank God it was a Prius"

When Al Gore's son, Al Gore III, was pulled over for DUI, drug possession, and speeding at 100 mph on the San Diego Freeway , he was driving a Toyota Prius.

"Thank God," his father said.

"He could have been driving a Hummer."

(The above is a made-up quote, which although false like the forged CBS Texas Air National Guard letters about George Bush, serve as Dan Rather said to "illustrate a greater truth.")
