Mitt Wants to Put Big Bird in His Place

GOP Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is in Iowa today discussing all the things he’ll cut if he gets elected to the White House in 2012. Among them, a certain large bird from Sesame Street.

“We’re not going to kill Big Bird, but Big Bird has to have advertisers,” he said, explaining that he plans to strip PBS of government funding.

C-SPAN captured the speech here.
