Big Bird Votes Obama [View all]
I checked with the head of the elections division, and he said that, no, it is not illegal to vote in a Big Bird outfit, said Ginny Ballard, a spokeswoman for the Travis County clerks office.
Just putting the suit on back at the house was a challenge. I had to ask my wife, Kay, to help me put the thing on because I couldnt figure out what went where. Ive had less trouble with a tux. The bird suit is a three-piece, and if you put the pieces on in the wrong order, as I did, you end up being held prisoner in the suit. Also, there was no place to put my car keys.
Youve got it on upside down, Kay said. These are the arms, and this is the tail. Who knew? I did not see this in my future, Kay added.
I didnt pull this stunt because Im a big fan of Big Bird. Nope, this one is Mitt Romneys fault. If the Mittster hadnt said during one of the presidential debates that he loves Big Bird, not likes but loves, I might have rented a Daffy Duck or a Tweety Bird suit instead. I prefer those two birds to Big Bird.
