Re: Sesame Street censured
 
Yeah, you shouldn't do it through kids, Mr. PBS Ombudsman, and more to the point, you shouldn't do it through a taxpayer subsidized television station with a reputation as being a government funded liberal mouthpiece.

What's next for Sesame Street, a new character named "Teabagger Tom"?

Tancredo is no match for Shuster and Moulitsas. Sure, it was a dirty shot from MM, but storming out was weak. Ron Christie should have been there to even things out.

Re: "FNC visits the set": For me, this negates the "Pox News" joke. The "Sesame Street Shout-Outs" video was very nice.

I agree with ObserverDan about Tancredo.  
 
As someone who has campaigned and won public office, he's encountered tougher opponents than Markos.
 
He should have stayed and mopped up on both Shuster and Markos.  
 
Tancredo knew that his purpose was to serve as "lunch" when he walked into the studio.
