Note: Mr. Met at the Debate
By Matthew Cerrone - Oct 16, 2008 11:29 am

According to a dozens of e-mails sent to me today, Mr. Met was seen working the crowd last night at the Presidential Debate at Hofstra University.

What’s more, he was seen on-air, in the crowd, holding a campaign sign, in back of the Fox News post-debate discussion, which was hosted by Greta Van Sustrand.

If you have this on video, and can capture as a digital file, please e-mail it to me – as I would love to post it on MetsBlog.com.

Well, that is disappointing.

First of all, that is not the real Mr. Met.

Second, I can’t believe they made him take off his head.  I mean, nobody wants to see that.

thanks to Fred, and hat tip to Deadspin for the video

Apparently, this is the Mr. Met from Late Night with Conan O’Brien, which makes this all the more hilarious.

    That is so funny…he looks so sad walking away after they take his head off.

    Kind of reminds me of that scene in Empire Strikes Back where you see Darth Vader with his helmet off while it’s getting waxed/shined.

    This is like the Zapruder Film

    Would have been great to see the guy light up a cigarette and toweling down his head or something.

    Why did’nt Mr Met run? At least we could have a real man to vote for! Yes, we could have!

    You know, he didn’t look all that different when they took the head off.

    So who was he supporting? That’s a glaring omission of information, not in keeping with this blog’s usual candor.
