Earlier today, freshman NY Rep. George "Pinocchio" Santos recused himself from the committee assignments he had just been given days ago by House Speaker Kevin "The Body Snatcher" McCarthy, in the face of an increasing number of reports of his pathological lying to just about everyone.
One thing Santos won't do-----yet-----is pack it up, admit he essentially cheated his way to Washington, and resign his post, which of course would prompt a special election to fill the remainder of his term.
As everyone knows, even Pinocchio, after trying to run away from his problems, eventually manned up, became a hero and a human. Santos, though, comes off more like Joe Isuzu, or even a notorious scammer who got his 15 minutes here in the 518 many moons ago.
Maybe you've heard of.......Bob John Ray?
The year was 1979. Ye scribe was in high school. Bob John Ray, assuming that was his name on his birth certificate, became an overnight sensation when he drifted, literally, into Mechanicville, offering to buy cars at Jack Byrne Ford & Mercury.
Unfortunately, after nearly a week, BJR never fulfilled his end of the bargain, and was escorted from town by train back to Canada.
He might actually be old enough to be Pinocchio Santos' dad, for all we know.
Kidding aside, the upside is that Santos either straightens up, flies right, or gets side-barred out of Washington before the Nationals' home opener in April. And he has only himself to blame. He's another Donald Trump wanna-be, a pathological liar, just like the Sultan of Spray Tan himself. And while Citizen Pampers is slowly suffering from mental deterioration in front of the world with his daily, unhinged attacks on perceived "enemies" such as author Bob Woodward, Trump also offers a cautionary tale to clones like Santos, who needs to heed the warning before it's too late.
