Don't forget the rather unfortunate usage of a bunch of people cruising around in the Confederate car all being named "Duke."
See, there was once a man named David, who was the leader of a wacky little group of goofballs back in the '70s. That li'l jokester even went so far as to get everyone to call him a grand wizard, which is such a zany thing to ask people to do, but people totally did it with a straight face
Anyway, I wonder if it's a coincidence. Who knows?
He was leader in 1989. The first episode was in 1979, a decade earlier.
Wikipedia seems to disagree. I believe you may be thinking of when he took political office, not when he started as Grand Wizard of the Idiot Brigade.
