Kermit the Frog To Wolf Blitzer: ‘I Have To Tell You, Newt Is From The Swamp’

video
» 48 comments

Kermit the Frog appeared on CNN in an exclusive interview with Wolf Blitzer and told the news anchor though as a frog, he could not vote, he still was “proud to be an Amphibian American.”

The iconic muppet spoke to Blitzer about his plan to speak with President Obama.

“I am taking a certain issue to discuss with the president if I can,” Kermit explained. “That’s interspecies dating which evidently Miss Piggy is for — I’m not so sure about.”

“So you’ll raise that issue when you see the president?” asked Blitzer.

“Yes, sir, I will. I want to tell all of the animals out there in the world and any people who might date out, folks.”

The topic eventually turned to politics, and Kermit’s opinion of Newt Gingrich.

“I have to tell you, newt is from the swamp,” Kermit exclaimed. “There are other newts in the swamp, too.”

“The next time I Interview him, maybe you’ll join me in the questions,” Blitzer proposed.

“You bet I will!” responded the Muppet.

    Kermit for president!

    I thought Kermit worked at FOX “News”. Why is he on CNN?

    It won’t be long before Newt is asking for an apology from a hand puppet.

    Further showing why CNN is irrelevant.

    The liberals are so desperate that they have turned to anthropomorphic lib shills to attack the conservatives now.

    What desperation they have.

    Of course its a well known fact that conservatives have no sense of humor-the Muppet Movie is a heart warming family movie that draws on a long tradition of humor that has made many generations of people smile. Conservatives didn’t like the fact that antagonist in the recent movie was a Sarah Palin Drill baby drill joke and clearly are smarting from a little jab from a “green” puppet. And Wolf-as straight man-did a good job here. After moderating several GOP debates its obvious that he’s quite comfortable dealing with “puppets.”

    It is obvious that Kermit’s IQ is far above yours.

    Wow another angry conservative! What an astonishing find. -snicker-

    You guys have Frank Luntz (who doesn’t look nearly as human as most Muppets) and we have Kermit.

    Go back to your sewer- BTW, that is just a joke from Kermit.

  • Anonymous

    Gee Mediaite way to take a comment and turn it into false sensationalism…

    You tried to make it look like some kind of lefty insult from the muppets when it was just a muppet kids joke.

    Are you guys that desperate?Not getting enough hits?

    Wolf can now retire having reached the pinnacle of his career.

    Didn’t you say that you were going to leave me alone yesterday? Thought so.

    Mark will never be done with you. He’ll keep showing up even though he promised to not talk about you or mention him. Yet, he will continue to make fun of you while he’s not talking about you. Libs are weird.

    mark is just another angry liberal wart.

    Sounds like Miss Piggy is for interspecies dating. Kermit, being a conservative, sounds like he’s against it. What a douchebag.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Williams/100000431800956 Mark Williams

    Yup-you’re a humorless sourpuss.

    And Delusional.

    Well, he’s interviewed The Banking Queen, Barney Frank too. Talk about having a hand up your ass…

    That … was C. N. N.

    I’m old school. I remember when Ed Sullivan started in with his weekly bit with the puppet called Topo Gigio and it’s “Tock me een, Ahddie!”. Creepy and stomach turning.

    I thought the Jim Henson redeemed puppetry on TV when he put old dudes like Ed into the audience as get-off-my-lawn old dude Muppet critics Statler and Waldorf. Thanks to Henson, I got over the puppet betrayal.

    Then Murdoch gave Roger Ailes an entire offshore tax haven’s sackful of tax exempt cash and ‘gave’ us FNC: Fuppet news, Fuppet views, Fuppet punditry, Fuppets interviewing Fuppets, and Fuppets with cheap brassy blond looks & hip-hugging skirts & legs to the North Pole, all reasonable like-like, close to human, and with some disturbingly close approximations to actual anthropomorphic behavior, every day, 24/7 (Proving why you really do have to take that full course of antibiotics the doctors prescribes, or else you get a life long disorder like FNC.)

    And yet – I find myself despising Blitz Wolfer as the real phony – not Sullivan, not the Muppets, not the Fuppets, but Creepy’s BFF Blitz.

    (Anyone else miss Jim Henson’s voice in Kermit? This new guy sounds sort of like Michael Moore, who I life for a number of reasons but sure not for the quality of his speaking voice.)

    I think you have had far too many hands up your rear, Mark Williams- you must own stock in KY jelly.

    Yet poof! there you are acting like the delusional one.

    Now heed your advice and leave me alone and don’t mention me. That is clearly delusional.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Williams/100000431800956 Mark Williams

    Please don’t delude yourself into thinking I take orders from you. When I feel like addressing your often silly and nonsensical posts I will do so.

    I see you telling many people not to talk to you-you could end that problem by simply not posting here.

    But you wouldn’t do that now would you, you delusional sourpuss.

    Isn’t it amazing that all the stalkers on Mediaite are desperately lonely liberals who no one wants anything to do with?

    God, they need love and can find none and so come here to stalk people.

    It is quite sad and disquieting. They need 6 months observation in the best hospitals they can afford.

    Mark Williams- go haunt some other blog, you loser.

    Mark, have you ever kissed a girl? I maen where money was not involved?

    Do you know what a girl is?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Williams/100000431800956 Mark Williams

     See Liz? This guy could be your love connection! Beat the rush and claim him for your own before some other lucky gal does!!!!

  • Anonymous

    Mark, have you ever kissed a girl without paying, I mean?

    I didn’t think so.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Williams/100000431800956 Mark Williams

    Yup-It seems I really a nerve. Instead of not replying the delusion sourpuss decides to play second hand delusional games. Nothing new here. She seems to do this all day long with a variety of posters-who she thinks are all the same guy following her from blog to blog.

    Sure, there’s nothing delusional about that.

    Notice how she ends her message with her favorite pathology. Its a defense mechanism.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Williams/100000431800956 Mark Williams

    Come on Liz-last chance for a love connection!!!! Surely you can’t pass this guy up!!! He’s one part political genius and one part Robert Lowell! Get him while the gettin’s good!

    Mark Williams is a lonely desperate liberal stalker who has never kissed a girl- how funny is that?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Williams/100000431800956 Mark Williams

     Going once, going twice-that’s it. Sorry Liz-you have now officially missed your chance to start a amazing relationship with this incredible genius! You’ll be kicking yourself later!! And don’t blame me!

    Mark also thinks everyone uses subways.

    I expect them (one) to get more delusional as the election nears.

    I think Kermit should facilitate the next Republican debate.  Hi to my friends at Occupy Baltimore.  Off to Occupy Honolulu

    Reason onemillionsevenhundrednintythree why no one watches CNN.

  • Colecturia

    MSNBC has higher ratings than CNN, that means that friends and relatives of CNN employees are only watching.

    Why doesn’t Wolf wear a wolf’s head and preside over a political round table with Barney the Dinosaur, H.R. Pufnstuf, Max Headroom, the arrogant Na’vi mother from “Avatar” and a pile of sand?

    Wolf Blitzer has the substance of a puff of smoke.

    He’s an mental flyweight who’s risen to the level of his maximum incompetence and is forever destined to read copy written by others.

    He can’t complete a sentence without saying “Ah.” Maybe his brain can’t hold more than 4 words at a time or he’s never taken a public speaking class.

    Kermit works for Der Maus now.

    Because Miss Piggy was not available.  Bwahahaha, so much for the Megyn Kelly critiques.

  • http://www.facebook.com/gregg.dudash Gregg Dudash

    Kermit is confused. Obama MARRIED Miss Piggy. Newt is NOT from the swamp. Happy to clear that up.

  • Anonymous

    Funny…tongue-in-cheek…hardly worth making a big deal about or getting worked up over. Anyone who finds this more
    harmful that that is clearly looking for something to be outraged about. 

    Gregg, me think you need to chill out a bit. Just a suggestion.
