Pete Puma found drunk in local park.

Pete, probably most famous for his role as a sugar-addicted, cross-dressing predator in the Warner Brothers' extravaganza "Rabbit's Kin", was found early this morning by local members of the TIS (Toon Intervention Squad).
TIS had been searching for the actor since learning sometime yesterday that he had left his home in Warner Woods with a large exploding cigar and a mallet.

A videotape of the presentation contains footage of Jenkins identifying three members of the U.S. House -- Cantor, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis. -- as future movers and shakers in the GOP. All are white, as is Jenkins.
"So don't, you know, lose faith if you are a conservative," Jenkins said in Hiawatha.
There's always room for blacks at the back of the Republican bus.
