Video: Mitt loves Big Bird and only likes Jim Lehrer

At the debate, Mitt laid out his test for whether the government should fund any particular program. That test? If money has to be borrowed from China to pay for it, the program is shut down. Yeah, that's rhetoric he will have to do a lot to live up to but when he spoke about ending the PBS subsidy, he realized moderator Jim Lehrer worked at PBS. At that point, he delivered one of the best lines of the night:

"I like PBS, I love Big Bird. I actually like you too."

The look on Lehrer's face after that adds to the humor.
