You guys are nuts. SAM EAGLE for president.
Well, some folks are convinced. What was that I heard recently (sorry no cite) about some religious right folks forbidding their kids watching the Muppets because of “sexual tension” between Kermit and Miss Piggy?
Time to trot out one of my favorite quotes:
“They’re Muppets! They don’t exist from the waist down!” - Muppeteer Steve Whitmire’s response to a question on Bert & Ernie’s sexuality.
Didn’t that already happen?
FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!
They’re hangin’ at the Moulin Rouge.
I was under the impression that Sam the Eagle was working for FOXNews.
You guys do know that Elmo was called to testify at a Congressional hearing a month or two ago. C-Span covered it.

Most Ridiculous Congressional Hearing Witness EVER!!

Nope…They revealed on one episode of The Muppet Show that he was not really swedish.
This is one of the most insightful things I’ve ever read on this board. 
Actually, from what I remember of Kermit’s job performance when he occasionally worked a lowly reporter on Sesame Street, I’d say adding him as a regular commentator on MSNBC, FOX News, or CNN might represent a distinct step upward for those networks. 
Kermit: And now for a Muppet News flash. Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep!
Bill O’Reilly: Lost sheep, must be because of the Clinton Legacy and Ludacris endorcing Pepsi
Kermit: Uh, okay, hey, look here is the sheep now!
Wolf in sheep’s clothing: Where is Little Red Riding Hood?
Bill O’Reilly: Sexual Predators, must be the Clinton Legacy and Ludacris endorcing Pepsi!
Kermit: Sheesh
Bill O’Reilly: In other news, Bill Clinton fell out of a plane today and BAM!!!::Bill Clinton falls on O’Reilly::
I’d love to see a complete tape of the time Kermit hosted the Tonight Show. I’ve often wondered what the guests that night were thinking.
I would like to thank my fellow Dopers for making one of the greatest threads ever.
Kermit as a real anchor? Perfect!
As for our administration … well I’m almost certain Rumsfeld is really Dr. Strangepork.

Ooner myself, Gorgon Heap & Gonzoron would like a quiet little word if you don’t mind.
They are real. After the “Swedish Chef” retired from the show, he took up coding. Here’s proof:
Wait just a damn minute. Are you people suggesting that all politicians ARE NOT muppets?!? You take a close look at Dubya and Strom Thurmond (and in Canada, Jean Chrétien and Joe Clark) and honestly tell me they’re humans. Don’t make me laugh Hah! Hah!
(Please let them be muppets. Please let them be muppets. Please let them be muppets.)
ralph … perfect.
Me too! How could she even look at the bacon on her breakfast plate? It could have been a relative. Yikes!!
Hunh. I thought someone by now would have asked the age-old question: “What’s green and smells like bacon? Kermit’s finger.”
