Muppet Communists? Fox News' Eric Bolling Challenges Kermit To A Debate

Emboldened by the reaction to his accusations that the Muppets are far-left, anti-capitalist felt radicals, Fox Business Network's Eric Bolling has doubled down on his position. He's now challenging Kermit the Frog to a political debate.

"Apparently I said somethings that offended little Kermit and Miss Piggy the past few days, and I apologize, I didn't mean to say anything to offend you guys," Bolling said. "Froggy, Miss Piggy, if you wanna debate this any time, I'm all for it."

He's even asked Donald Trump to moderate. In that case, expect Gonzo, Fozzie and Rowlf to drop out.

Eric Bolling is filled with green envy because no one likes him,no one pays attention to him. In other words,he is a human puppet-for Fixed Nonsense.

They normally debate sock puppets. The switch to hand puppets shouldn't be too challenging.

When Jerry Fallwell told people that the teletubbies were queer then when Pat Robertson began predicting earthquakes and hurricanes based upon gay rights legislation... rational people came to the final conclusion that these two religious fanatics had lost their minds and crossed over from being harbingers of doom to being headbangers.

By attacking the Muppets for expressing anti-corporate, therefore pro-communist sympathies, Fox Business Network's Eric Bolling, (former big time commodities trader — mostly nat-gas if I remember correctly — crossed that line. Bolling, the narrow-minded self-serving zealot, has moved from being a heavy hitter to becoming a punch-line.

Faux News is a joke; they trade in double-talk that is written to impress people with no money; to the extent any media is of use in timing financial decisions, investors watch Bloomberg.
