Elmo Testifies on Capital Hill

[Gonzo]

They just had a news blurb on the Today Show--it showed Elmo in a suit and tie testifying before a Senate Education Committee, encouraging them to appropriate more funding for music and music education. It was pretty funny. It's sad when a preschool Muppet can teach your Senate a thing or two about education. Hopefully they listened.

There's a Kevin Clash profile linked on this page as well.

Actually, my puppet has been running for President for the past 2 elections. We went to Wash. D.C. and put up signs for him while we were there. He'll be campaigning on my website in 2 more years, so if any of you wants a puppet President, vote for "Scary" Larry Wolf! Thank you...
