General is violates them as well? i don t know. it seems silly to me. these pictures are amazing. to me, it s amazing that the that the elephants are doing that work. i don t see any pictures. i would like to do that work. i don t know. look at the size. i just don t have a problem with it. only danger would be if the elephant got hurt but obviously, they ve got that harness. it looks like everything is just fine. what do you think? do you think it s appropriate that the picadelly circus would be using the elephants to help move the debris. elephants makes more sense to me than the guy showing up in the clown outfit helping. do you have to wear your costume when you re helping people in joplin, missouri? only outfit you travel with. maybe. not sure. here s another story that might get you upset this morning. a lawsuit has been filed against a texas school district to stop prayer during graduation. we all know growing up, you know, if you went through the graduation pr ....
Love her and like her, but they don t want to vote for her necessarily. so i don t think she s going to be ahead of the pack for the g.o.p. she might be the head of the pack for the tea party portion of the g.o.p. heidi, i ll give you the final word. yeah, i don t know if she s going to run. i don t know if she s taking this bus tour so she can gauge her popularity. that would be my guess but ultimately when it comes down to it, i m not sure she will. she has a few more months to decide and everybody is going to turn their eyes to somebody else in the g.o.p. if she doesn t jump in. stand by, everybody. let s see what happens. amy holmes and leslie marshall and also heidi harris, we thank you all for joining us coast to coast, ladies. thank you. thank you. thank you. have a great week. all right, coming up, critics say on the circus. should it be letting elephants do heavy lifting? clearing debris in the wake of joplin s killer tornado. and then cancel the prayer or the cere ....
It s interesting, though, apparently the picadelly circus was to be in joplin to perform at a time when the tornado hit and then, apparently, what they decided to do is they decided, as you can see from the videotape here is to use some of the elephants to actually move some of the heavy equipment and this has caused some people in that town on both sides to say, that is inappropriate. it is dangerous for the elephants. it s exploitation. others say it s just dandy. it s great they could do it. look at that, the elephant actually helped move that suv right there. what do you think? here s some people in joplin. i think that the circus people generally want to help but i think this is a bad idea. i think it s a publicity stunt and this is a bad idea. this is no publicity stunt. they can throw up a big sign and banner for that. if you re unappreciative of the help and you re not affected and you don t live here, maybe you should go help somewhere elsewhere you re not going to sit her ....
