    2008!
    How come they didn't raise a stink when it first appeared (and Obama wasn't president)?

    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 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

    Doesn't she realize America succeeds because of large agri-business? If we all shop at local farmers markets, the small family farms will be taking business away from the corporate farms. Then what? #sesamestreet

    If Fox News didn't want to be mocked as trashy, then they shouldn't be trashy and shouldn't have a name that rhymes with "Pox."

    In reply to Sesame Street Disavows American Apparel "Collaboration"
    FWIW, American Apparel's bread and butter is actually in the promo world where they print up promotional T-shirts for clients, so I assumed that AA simply produced generic Sesame Street shirts. I work for a magazine that had promo shirts made by AA (ironically enough, the late Clamor magazine had AA print up promo shirts after running a damming expose of the company a few years ago). #sesamestreetamericanapparel

    I just came across the first ad for the collaboration. It looks like Animal would just....chafe.

    Why I can't say that I am surprised that American Apparel would lie through its teeth, I'm not sure how they thought that they would get away with it. Did they really think that they could send out a completely fictional press release and Sesame Street wouldn't find out? I guess it further proves my theory that there is a dearth of intelligence at AA headquarters. #sesamestreetamericanapparel
