Big Bird and the rest of the fine people at Sesame Street don’t give two craps about Mitt Romney’s politics — but they’re PUMPED he gave BB a shoutout during last night’s Presidential debate … despite the whole “Death to PBS” thing.

Sesame Street released a statement this morning following Romney’s Big Bird reference, saying, “Sesame Workshop is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, educational organization. We do not comment on campaigns, but we’re happy we can all agree that everyone likes Big Bird.”
