Caption Sebelius and Elmo

Posted on 09/01/2009 1:54:31 PM PDT by Lucky9teen

Health and Human Services Department Secretary Kathleen Sebelius (R) speaks to members of the news media as Sesame Street character Elmo stands besides her in Washington, DC in May 2009. As US kids go back to school facing a likely resurgence of (A)H1N1 flu, the US government Tuesday enlisted Sesame Street muppets Elmo and Gordon in a new health campaign.

>>Get Elmo to teach the little kids to wash their hands. <<

We have turned into California Condors because instead of having the parents do actual parenting we have to handle kids with “Puppets”

Guess we can call it the: Condor Culture.....

Elmo appears with Sebelius in a last minute scheduling change after a restraining order was placed on Cookie Monster for confusing Sebelius’s hair with a sugar coated cookie.

HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius attempts to rehabilitate her credibility

Does anyone else find it funny that they have to put (R) to let people know she’s the one on the right and not the giant fuzzy red thing on the left?

There is a factory in America which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arm. A new employee is hired at the Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 0800.
The next day at 0845 there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman from the assembly line throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule.
The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself so the 2 men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up. At the end of the line stands the new employee surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's.
She has a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles. The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs. The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter. After several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches the woman.

"I'm sorry," he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, "but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday"................ Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles".

As a Kansan, I must say, I prefer her stinkin up a muppet rather than a Jayhawk.
