HiJinx, I am somewhat surprised and disappointed in your post.
THAT was stolen from an opening monologue of Dragnet 1969!!! Yeah, back then, Joe finally "came out of the closet" as they say.
The full context was, "It's cool, it's cloudy, a threat of a misty rain wind blowing, here it is May and I only wore my short pants on time this spring., L.A. is the land of diversity, cultural experimentation and open doors. When Republicans attack our people, I go to work, I carry a badge".
DUM DEEE DUM DUM DUM...
