Charlton Heston chewed through debates like a drunk cow gnaws at grass.
“Not only did I play Moses, but I could win this election with a camel as a running mate.”
Afterwards, he was asked to clarify. “No, I’m not speaking metaphorically. An honest to God live camel. I’ve got one on the ranch, and if it isn’t more fit to govern than my opponent, then this cow’s had too much vodka.”
Only after the election did the voting populace realize Charlton Heston had died in 2008. And that’s the story of how a camel became President of the United States.
