Remember "The Count" from Sesame Street?

Can one of our creative members do a sketch of "The Count" listing Romney's lies.

He'll say:

"Romney Lie 1 ..." and then laugh, " Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha."

"Romney Lie 2 ... " and then laugh, "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha."

And list each of/all of Romney's lies in tonight's debate.

Could be an effective ad, no?

Or a count of all the flip-flops he's made?

Come on, let's do this for Big Bird!

And for the sake of the presidency!

Hey, the voice of Kermit died too--didn't stop him. Shouldn't stop the Count either!

Stand up, Count, and be counted!!!! Stand up for Big Bird, and tell us how many ways Mitt rMoney is an asshole!!!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven....seven ways Mitt is an asshole! One for every day of the week!!!

I don't remember when Mr. Cooper died, but I do remember when Mr. Rogers talked frankly about death. Kids shows didn't used to pull punches and talk down to kids like they were stupid. Kids are a lot smarter than we give them credit for.

Jerry Nelson did recently pass away, but he'd been retired from performing for years. His characters have been taken over by the next gen of Muppeteers, just as Jim Henson's and Frank Oz's have.

it makes Romney look like a complete fool.

Tonight the initial take on the debate being spread by the MSM is that Romney was in command and won.

We'll, we can change that quickly if we jump on the idiotic Big Bird zinger, and use it to DEFINE Romney's whole performance.

We can change perceptions before they become cemented. We just have to get on it right now, all day tomorrow.

Big Bird, Big Bird, Big Bird.

The Sesame Street Debate.

The Count ... counting all the lies!

Romney needing to learn his ABC's on how the economy works, on what really creates jobs.

Romney on his numbers not adding up.

All the above fits in with the Sesame Street theme!

always frustrating Bert.

I think the president was Bert last night ... fed up with Romney's lies, flip-flops, etc.

The only difference, the president didn't blow his top. He kept his cool.
