Title: Governor takes Moon Rocks
Post by: Smithsonia on June 02, 2010, 03:42:55 PM
In Colorado our state owned moon rocks were taken by a (now former) Governor. While no one's accusing him of stealing. People are curious as to how and why he wound up with $5 million worth of moon rocks. This one actually is Hysterical History. SEE HERE: http://www.denverpost.com/ci_15207033

He says he's happy to return them, if they will be displayed ..

Oh the irony. It's sitting in a place where hardly anyone can see it now.

WTH!?!

Right, the display should have not been taken in the first place.

I can't believe the part about he'd offered it to schools and museums in the past and no one showed interest. Moon rocks? Maybe they thought he was smoking dope.

I think you are thinking of Governor Moon Beam, not moon rocks.

C'mon, it was an honest mistake, it happens all the time.  Just ask Bill and Hillary...
