    I think angry Fox News defenders need to learn a little about Oscar's culture. The Grouch National Anthem clearly states:

    Grouches of the world unite
    Stand up for your grouchly rights
    Don't let the sunshine spoil the rain
    Just stand up and complain

    Let this be the grouches' cause:
    Point out everybody's flaws
    Something is wrong with everything

    Wait a minute, Glen Beck and Oscar have more in common than I thought. #sesamestreet

    How come they didn't raise a stink when it first appeared (and Obama wasn't president)?

    Eh. Sesame Street has nothing to lose by making fun of Fox and featuring Michelle. Conservatives want to eradicate public TV altogether; I don't think the content matters to them one whit. Critics' claims of politicization is such a red herring, and so politicized in itself, that I can't imagine anyone believes them beyond the usual 18-percenters who are likely having their kids watch for-profit Jesus-approved purpose-driven-life programming anyway. I for one am happy that Sesame Street doesn't accede to that kind of nonsense -- they've got more spine than most Democratic politicians these days, and that's a good example for the kids.

    They're just mad because the Bushes didn't get asked.

    And the only time I remember GWB reading to kids was on the day his press office told him the WTC and the Pentagon had been hit, Sept. 11, 2001. I guess he thought he could scooch down behind one of the kids' desks and no one would notice him.

    "(This was later relaxed after it developed that 'Maria' lived in our neighborhood and I was starstruck.) "

    Cuidado, Sadie! If you're not vigilant, those communists are going to have you singing "Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood" in Spanish.

    @Rooo sez BISH PLZ: I think that Elmo has appeared with Ms. Bush. She was a librarian and I think that she was doing a bit about reading. It's pretty par for the course for the first lady to appear on the Street. I remember her in her nice southern accent talking with Elmo about how reading is fun. Infact, here is proof: [politicalhumor.about.com]
    And more proof: [www.muppetcentral.com]

    Shut up conservative crazies. All of the first wives make an appearance with Elmo. #sesamestreet

    I never watched Sesame Street because of a fear I had of not being able to see an adult's face, but I dunno. If I understand it correctly, isn't Oscar the Grouch supposed to hate everything? Does Pfox not fall under that category? I mean yes, with an adult perspective you can see it because he didn't follow up with commentary on NBC and CNN and whoever, but kids probably won't. Pfox is the only pfunny name! #sesamestreet

    I don't doubt that Sesame Street has a subliminal leftist agenda. Once, I watched like three episodes in a row, and afterwards I befriended like four black people, two kids in wheel chairs, a deaf lady, a family of Central American immigrants who taught me about how to say color words in spanish, and went on a magical field trip to Thailand, where a friendly girl my age showed me what school was like there. Then I sang a song about getting along and helping others and how it's important to not eat too much candy. No wonder Fox News thinks it's terrible. Sesame Street is fucking un-American. #sesamestreet

    The Obama's ploy to get Conservatives to denounce anything and everything they are involved with, thus painting the GOP as massive dicks who hate everything is going according to plan. Between Obama and Al Franken, they've tricked the GOP into speaking out against healthy diets, staying in school, public service and singing and in favor of teabagging, rape and racism. Bravo, reactionary twits. #sesamestreet

    Sesame Street was put on my list when Cookie Monster announced that "Cookies are sometimes food."

    Fuck that shit.

    But on a serious note, how can conservatives find a problem with this? Oh wait, Bert and Ernie are gay.
