Says Blow in this wonderful testimony to Sesame Street and NPR: "Governor Romney does not understand the value the American people place on public broadcasting and the outstanding return on investment the system delivers to our nation. We think it is important to set the record straight and let the facts speak for themselves."
A sample of Mr. Blow's wit:
"Big Bird is the man. He's 8 feet tall. He can sing and roller skate and ride a unicycle and dance. Can you do that, Mr. Romney? I'm not talking about your fox trot away from the facts. I'm talking about real dancing."
Since 1969, Big Bird has been the king of the block on "Sesame Street." When I was a child, he and his friends taught me the alphabet and the colors and how to do simple math."

"Do you know how to do simple math, Mr. Romney? Maybe you and the Countess Von Backward could exchange numbers."
