Whether it’s the People’s Convoy or the “average Joes” Salena Zito loves to interview (who all turn out to be GOP operatives, strangely enough), it is SOP for most of these guys to fall into either the Fraud or Fool category. Usually when the truth comes out it’s boringly predictable.

That’s a big reason I for one am glad George Santos is on the scene because his insane brazenness makes him both unpredictable and the only Republican I can think of who has ever made me laugh. I mean, come on, “I never claimed to be Jewish, I said I was Jew-*ish*” is god-tier, George Costanza-level bullshitting.

“Yes, I lied about who I am and my entire past. Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had told me when I entered politics as a Republican that sort of thing was frowned upon…” And you know, the man makes a valid point.

Excellent! Thanks!

Bob Bolus sounds like something that could be wrong with a chicken.

-"That chicken ain't layin' no eggs. Bolus gets all bobbed up you might as well change their name to Sunday Dinner."

"Soft handed sissy fake." When Trump first got nominated for president Anthony Bourdain talked about how Trump and his ilk ( a word without negative connotations that is always used as though it has them) had the softest hands imaginable. Someone else mentioned he probably had never trimmed his own toenails. I am reminded of Lewis Blacks riff about billionaires having someone on staff to wash their balls because they could.
