Redemption: Pee Wee Herman -- after being raked over the coals, is back




He was definitely a victim of a his own bad personal decision in an adult theater, but it was hugely magnified by the press into a fever pitch -- and even the story of mass murderer Jeffrey Dahmer was forced to 2nd tier headlines...

Finally, Paul Reubens appears to have emerged bigger than ever... I guess time truly does heal all wounds.

From what I can recall, all he did was jerk off in an adult theater. He's not like a child molester or rapist or anything. He didn't poison an entire city for years. He didn't start a war, kill millions, and unleash angry fanatics.

Of course, if I read he's Republican, all bets are off!

I mean it was embarrassing of course, but were they arresting men every night?
