Mon, 9 Nov 2009 19:26:40 +0000

Oscar the Grouch doesn’t like Fox News. Sort of. At least that’s what the wacky right is spouting off about just in time to grab the coattails of the Sesame Street 40th celebration. Technically the cranky green monster doesn’t give two wits about Hannity or O’Reilly. He was reporting for GNN ...
