It has come to my attention, by chance and modern events, that my most cherished childhood TV star is a card-carrying member of the Republican Party of the United States. I am, of course, speaking of the highly esteemed, lovable goofball, Pee Wee Herman!
No, I don't mean Paul Reubens. I'm not sure of his political affiliation, and I am not really concerned about it, either. However, the character, Pee Wee Herman, is a dyed-in-red "Red Stater"... There is no doubt in my mind!
I'm sure that by now, you're all wondering how I came to this conclusion. It's simple, really. Pee Wee's most used catchphrase is being used by the Republicans. Obviously, they learned this phrase by association. And, just what phrase is it that I'm speaking of? Well, everybody's favorite childish comeback, "I know you are, but what am I?".
Today, after President Obama criticized the GOP today for their attempts to block a Wall Street reform bill, claiming that they're "out of touch" with the American public, the Republican leader in the House of Representatives pulled out a good ol', "I know you are, but what am I?" statement in response:
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) fired back at the White House Wednesday, arguing that "they're the ones who are out of touch" with the American people while defending his critique of the financial regulatory reform bill as excessive regulation.[1]
Is that the best a leading member of Congress can do? A comeback I used when I was five? I'd act all shocked and the like, but at this point, I'm not really that shocked about it!
Right about now, you're all thinking I'm crazy. However, folks, the things Pee Wee has in common with Republicans don't just end there! If memory serves me correctly, Dick Cheney's entire reason behind hiding from the public during his tenure as Vice President was due to the fact that he was a loner and a rebel. I also vaguely recall learning in history class that Ronald Reagan often ate Mr. T cereal and talked to his pancakes.
Sure, sure, perhaps this is all just conjecture based on pure coincidence, folks. But I'm a believer, so I'll leave you with this: Somebody had to teach Tucker Carlson to proudly wear that bow tie with style and pizazz!
