Mariachi Band Leads Elephants Across Rio Grande
Hat tip the Godfather™:October 11, 2006 Reports of an elephant crossing the river or people trying to smuggle an elephant across were rampant Tuesday while an elaborate political stunt was taking shape near the mouth of the Rio Grande. It was a while later that the stunt, which was a photo shoot, was abruptly met by federal agents. (emphasis added) The elephant never made landfall into Mexico, but I tell you something, he could have made 15 laps back and forth, but no one showed up, said Raj Peter Bhakta, a former star on the NBC show The Apprentice, who also is a Republican candidate for the 13th District U.S. House of Representatives seat in Eastern Pennsylvania. (emphasis added) Send that guy some cash! He was in Brownsville to raise funds with friends and decided to get a first-hand look at border security while he was here, he said. In Brownsville, he witnessed half a dozen men swim under one of the international bridges with complete immunity which in turn prompted him to take the immigration issue to the next level. Bhakta decided to see if he could get an elephant accompanied by a six-piece mariachi band across the river. To my surprise, (but no one else's) the band played on, the elephants splashed away, and nobody showed up, Bhakta said of the stunt. Im astounded. ------------- Someone reported to the Border Patrol that people were smuggling elephants, he said. Bhakta was getting on a plane Tuesday afternoon shortly after the USDA released the elephants and they began their journey back to Maybank. He said he was staggered by what happened on Tuesday and was planning on sharing the story with his potential constituents. If I can get an elephant led by a mariachi band into this country, I think Osama bin Laden could get across with all the weapons of mass destruction he could get into this country, Bhakta said. The mariachi band was not immediately available for comment. ROFLMAO! Posted by: Barbara Skolaut 2006-10-13 |
