Right Pundits

Brace yourselves for this bit of bad news, good people of Right Pundits. After undergoing a double-hernia operation, the Yellow Wiggles “Greg” has announced his retirement from Team Wiggles. Shhhh, don’t tell my little ones or I’ll have to prepare for the next temper tantrum.

The lead singer of the hugely popular children’s group The Wiggles announced Thursday he will stop performing after being diagnosed with a chronic condition that causes dizziness, fatigue and nausea.

In a video-recorded statement, Greg Page said a little-understood disorder called orthostatic intolerance had left him debilitated.

“It’s not a life-threatening condition by any means, but it is one that’s going to be with me for the rest of my life,” said Page, 34, who is known for bright yellow T-shirt. “It means that I’ll no longer be able to sing and dance as I want to, and as a result I’ve decided to stop performing with The Wiggles.”

Page, who helped found The Wiggles in 1991, handed his yellow T-shirt over to his understudy, Sam Moran, who has been performing with the group for more than a decade as a backup singer and dancer.

“I’ll miss being a part of The Wiggles very much, but this is the right decision because it will allow me to focus on managing my health,” Page said.

Hard to believe the famous Yellow jersey just gets passed to the next guy like nothing happened. Can’t they retire his number color, or at least donate it to the next Star Trek series?

In case you’ve been living in, well, Arkansas or somewhere, Yellow Greg is that fella in the yellow shirt. And he ain’t just any Wiggle. He is the star and the only one who actually seems to sing into that microphone mouthpiece thingy that is permanently glued to his face.

The Wiggles are on the television every morning at Ranch McCain, but I cringe every morning just the same. They are not exactly my vision of the Ideal Man. And when they aren’t on the telly, they are on the CD player, creating a wild Wiggles dance fest in the living room when I want to watch football. That is, unless we are driving in which case they are blasting in the car when I’d rather hear Steppenwolf. However, at a time like this, one shouldn’t be disrespecting the fallen. Long live Yellow Greg!

This brief biography of Yellow Wiggles Greg Page is below courtesy of tv.com.

Greg’s love for music started at a young age. When he was just a wee boy he use to climb into his parents bed in the morning to listen to his favourite station, 2CH. It was from this young age that his love for music grew. His favourite musicians are Crowed House and Elvis(he admits that his favourites do change)His sport of choice would be Cricket. He played from ages 12-18 but had to stop when The Wiggles started. He is also a very talented magician, if you’ve seen him on The Wiggles you know what fun it is to watch Magic Greg try to pull a rabbit out of his hat. His favourite foods include pizza, pasta, tacos, chicken w/cashew nuts, and roast pork. His favourite colors are yellow(of course) dark blue and burgundy.

OKay, now back to that terrorism stuff.
