Thank you to all of those who commented and sent us e-mails about our latest Kissimmee Puppet Commission Theatre episode. We had a lot of fun putting it together and we are glad so many of you enjoyed it. While we know not all of our readers are into that kind of silliness, it fits our personalities just fine.We were a little disturbed to find out that we were no longer the only 'Kissimmee Centric' puppet show in town. We stumbled across an Orlando Sentinel article today that is about a fight that is going on between City of Kissimmee Commissioner Carlos Irizarry and a gossip style television show in Puerto Rico. The show is accusing Commissioner Irizarry of marital infidelity because of some pictures that Commissioner Irizarry had on his own FaceBook page. The pictures showed him hugging a woman that was not his wife. The WayneWho staff had to laugh at the absurdity of the whole thing because why would Commissioner Irizarry post photos that would get him in trouble on his own website? Not really very plausible. Second, don't most politicians hug on people to try to win votes? This is just kinda-sorta how the game is played in American politics. We think the story is nothing more than a bunch of hype.
What really struck us as odd, and almost sad to the WayneWho staff, was about the main host "La Comay" of the show Super Xclusivo, who is a life size puppet. The 'puppet' and host Héctor Travieso spread rumors about Puerto Rican celebrities and elected officials. What made us a little upset was the fact that in videos of the show posted online, Commissioner Irizarry can be heard calling into the show and arguing with this 'puppet'. After seeing them argue back and forth, we just could not bear to watch it anymore because of the deep sense of betrayal. Commissioner Irizzary has never called, e-mailed, or openly yelled at our WayneWho puppets, and yet runs right out and starts having a little tryst with some TV 'puppet'. We guess that we should have known that Commissioner Irizarry couldn't be with just one puppet. And besides, politicians will do anything to get on TV.
Don't worry about us. We will be fine. Another gallon of Chunky Monkey and we will probably feel a lot better. Besides, that other 'puppet' is not that pretty anyway.

Carlos was at the County Commission meeting this past Thursday night. He was there with his wife. Do you honestly think he would put something on his facebook and that his wife would not know anything about it?
Come on, wives are smart. Don't you think she looks at his facebook, myspace and twitter?
Can u post the link of him calling in the show?
Sorry just saw u posted it, thanks
I don't think Carlos is having an affair. If he was don't you think that BA would be all over him by now?
B.A. Otero might be able to take that puppet. I think the puppet is really a guy dressed up like a girl puppet which would probably push B.A. into frenzy. There is no place for cross dressing puppets in this day and age.
