Let's be honest, of all the characters on that show, Elmo absolutely IS the one who's the enemy of the people. That little turd totally ruined that show.

If they used Big Bird, or the count, or maybe Snuffy as an example...

"Show me where on touch-me Elmo Elmo touched you"

I mean, raising kids in the Elmo days, after growing up on a Sesame Street without him? Damn right Elmo hurt me. He's not quite Caillou bad... but he nuked the show's enjoyability.

You know, if republicans responded to the elmo sign with a Caillou sign saying "No money for PBS if they show this little asshole", they'd have a point.

The best advice on this I could ever give you is, do not ever, even for a second, rely on Republicans telling the truth ever.

EVER.
