You could be forgiven for having missed it. For one thing it took place on the rarely seen Fox Business Channel. For another, it was lost amid all the Fox “News” Phony War On Christmas hysteria late last year. However, back in early December Bully Boy Eric Bolling went out on a very shaky limb and asked, “Is liberal Hollywood using class warfare to kind of brainwash our kids?” and “Where are we, Communist China?” when he intimated that The Muppets were Commie Pinkos, who created generations of Manchurian candidates, remarks he was eventually forced to walk back. While walking it back he challenged Kermit and Miss Piggy to a Donald Trump moderated debate; a brave move since he knows he has no hope winning such a one-sided match against sock-puppets. Still, The Muppets still took the high road and did not respond to Bolling’s troll bait. However, at a recent press conference the question could not be avoided.

There’s a couple other reasons, Yakki:
None of the Muppets have the names Foley or Limpballs . . .
