Time travel and Proxmire tend not to go well, for him.

It's possible that Senator Proxmire acted the way he did because a time traveler from the future did come back to pants him. In which case, Skippy may be predestined to do it in order to close the time loop.

Have you read Larry Niven's short story, "The Return of William Proxmire"?

In brief, Proxmire travels back in time to kill the space program by curing Heinlein's tuberculosis and keeping him in the Navy. When he gets back he finds that Admiral Heinlein has put a colony on the moon and is planning a mission to Mars.

“Gangham Style”

You might mean Gangnam. I sense a conflation of Gingham and Gangnam. ;-p
