Border insanity
Raj Batka, who was on the show Apprentice and is running for Congress in Pennsylvania, crossed the American border with Mexico on an elephant, with a Mariachi band, and no one stopped him. Watch the video, wow.
Raj is having a fundraiser in NY on Saturday, October 21st. View the evite here and donate money to this guy. He deserves it after an eye-opening stunt like that.

This reminds me of Steve Martin's parody of El Paso by Marty Robbins. All the girls at Rosa's Cantina were chimps and Steve escaped on an elephant.

The elephants were quarantined and sprayed for ticks. The Mexicans had their papers in order and presumably were not.

Posted by: Jeff Lemmon at October 14, 2006 01:42 AMBetter not tell el Presidente Jorge W. Bush and tio Roveo (I mean, what's the point of the fence bill if we can't fund it as even Sen. Corywn says it won't be) that there is a Republican who actually stands with the vast majority of the American people on the immigration invasion. Time to get the national guard to do their duty and protect the American people (as opposed to say the Iraqi) and man the border.
