Posted: Between the B and E headboardsSESAME STREET -- In a surprising announcement today, Peter Orszag, director of the Office of Management and Budget, admitted that he is the love child of Sesame Street regulars Bert and Ernie. The secret was discovered on a casual friday when Orszag went to a budget meeting wearing a yellow, orange and blue striped v-neck sweater with a white turtleneck.
"I forgot I had that sweater," Orszag said. "I couldn't hide it anymore. Dad-E agreed it was time to tell people. Then Dad-E played his drums every time Dad-B tried to talk. I love my family."
As a result of this announcement, Bert and Ernie have traded their two single beds for a queen-sized bed with "Orszag" written on the headboard. They also signed a book deal with Penguin books and plan to purchase a condo with more than one room.
When asked for comment, Bert and Ernie's longtime neighbor, the Count said, "Two! Two gay puppets! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
