______ Me Elmo

You can ask how to get to Sesame Street...just don't ask the the accused pedophile who lives there.

Kevin Clash, best know as the voice and puppeteer of Elmo, has taken a leave of absence from the program after a 23 year old claimed he began a sexual relationship with Clash seven years ago.  And thanks to the program, we can all do the math and show that 23 - 7 =16, and that's not quite right if you're 45.  If this doesn't give Republicans ammo to try and stop funding public television, nothing will.

Clash, who is gay, has acknowledged to TMZ (the bastion of journalistic importance) he had a relationship with the young man, but insists it only took place after his accuser was an adult.  We'll have to wait and see if this is a jilted ex or something more serious, but in the meantime, there will be plenty of hand-up-ass and don't-tickle-me jokes.
