If obsessively clicking through your elected representatives’ Flickr accounts is your thing, you may have noticed a wind-up monkey toy appear over and over in photos of House Speaker John Boehner’s (R-OH) office.
The monkey is apparently such an integral part of Boehner’s U.S. Capitol chambers that his office released a video Tuesday paying homage to its “second most photographed subject.”
Staffers gave the monkey to Boehner as gift, after he joked in a 2011 interview that his tight schedule made him feel like a windup toy.
“Every 15 to 30 minutes, they come in and wind me up and I do my thing,” Boehner says in the video.
