Herry rigs carnival game ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

Remember Herry, the furry, blue monster on 'Sesame Street' with a voice like Patty and Selma of 'The Simpsons'?

That Herry must be a big Republican: Much as the GOP rigs elections, Herry rigs carnival games.

Ernie should have known Herry's game was a rip-off, because the prizes are nowhere in sight.

Also, notice at the end of the skit that Ernie appears to start to pick his nose. I guess he figures he's entitled to pick his nose in public after being scammed so unjustly. It's kind of like the tradition of throwing garbage in the street on election night.
