Elmo's Puppeteer On Leave

[ATB]

Kevin Clash has taken leave from Sesame Street.

If you've seen Being Elmo, you see that this man  is a very talented, but also very sad and melancholy figure.  Elmo has entertained my kids for years, and I hope however this shakes out everyone ends up being ok...whatever that looks like.

I am a bit shocked by the whole thing really.

I recently saw Bert and Ernie coming out of The Jackhammer in Boystown and they told me to expect some shocking news from The Street any day now.  I just assumed it was about all those rumors floating around concerning the Cookie Monster and a rather infamous gloryhole site off route 9 in northern Indiana, but I wasn't expecting anything to happen to Elmo.  He's always seemed the very model of heterosexuality.  Hell, even Romney left him alone during his campaign.

Well that was quick.

Resigned and sued.

Well, this will put a crimp in the new "Diddle me Elmo" toy line.
