The Tears of a Moose 3

Rocky was always a big liberal but like a lot of liberals he wasn’t around when people really needed help. He was always conveniently “out of town” when he had to step up to help his friends. I remember when Wile E. Coyote got arrested for smuggling Speedy Gonzalez into the country in the back of his Acme moving van and the Border Patrol wanted to put him away. Bullwinkle pulled some strings with the Gerald Ford administration and got him off. He had a pipeline into Dick Cheney even then when he was chief of staff. Of course Rocky always claimed that he did it but he never did. He was always going off to protest with Caesar Chavez and the grape pickers but he didn’t do it for the poor people. He did it for the weed.
