The Colbert Report - Roosevelt Franklin is the Greatest American "Roosevelt"

[theprawncracker]

That's right. Stephen Colbert has declared Sesame Street's own Roosevelt Franklin as America's greatest "Roosevelt." Since the contest between Franklin Roosevelt and Theodore Roosevelt ended in a tie... the obvious choice (to Stephen Colbert, anyway) was Roosevelt Franklin. "Sesame Street's borderline-racist Muppet from the 1970's..." Stephen even displayed Roosevelt's "oratorical skills" with a clip of Roosevelt "EVERYBODY TALK LOUD!" and "Everbody talk soft..."

A WONDERFUL clip and reference! I seriously freaked out! TOO cool!

WHAT? Was that on TONIGHT? Sweet, cause that hasn't aired for me yet. Totally watching it in an hour!

I'm sure I've said this before dozens of times, but... I <3 Stephen Colbert.

Aw dang. Missed it. Now I'll have to watch this when switching away from Elmo's World during the new episode tomorrow morning... Or maybe one of the afternoon airings. Sure hope he doesn't lose that Emmy to Cookie Monster's tummy like the Peabody.

No way. Thats awsome, and unexpected.

I watched it! It was adorable. ^__^ It's funny how he and his writers would include that, let alone even remember him!

 

[The Count]

Remember to vote for Roosevelt Franklyn this coming election year. He represents both the blue states, and the red states... In that he is purple.

Oh-wow-oh-wow! I was watching his show today but missed this part! Those is so awesome and so funny at the same time!

Roosevelt Franklin got the COLBERT BUMP!

I've had a running gag going about Roosevelt Franklin and Waldorf running for president this year, so I was very shocked/pleased to see Roosevelt Franklin praised on The Colbert Report!

In case anyone is interested, the clip is here along with some pictures I drew and some other "Muppet Election" videos and links...

I saw it last night! It was so cute He seems to like the Muppets, what with Cookie Monster's appearance and all.
