Up the chimney he rose

Santos Claus ain’t comin’ to town no mo’. Not if the town is DeeCee, anyway.

The House lit him up and he’s nothing but a bad smell, with no salary, no pension, and 23 felony charges. Cast out, like a leper with herpes, running sores, and the heartbreak of psoriasis, into the cruel political wilderness.

In other words … he’ll probably be just fine. He’ll be hosting “Saturday Night Live.” Yeah, that’s the ticket. …

  1. Yea, for a while he will make a few bucks from being a famous liar and con artist. Make the CONservative media rounds probably starting with hammity. Then he probably goes to the slammer. I don’t think a jury will have much sympathy for this pile of shit.

  2. It’s interesting to think about the moral base that a congressman must have to vote “NAY” to expel Santos. Oh that’s right, they’re politicians. What was I thinking? As long as governments allow this shit to take place, I will never fully trust them. But then I believe the scoundrels that gathered together back in the late 18th century to formalize our union, already knew this. If you trust a politician, you’re a fool.

    1. Oh, I dunno. I’ve met a few politicians I consider honorable. My old buddies Chris Coursey and Charles Pelkey come to mind. Both have faced trying times in their own lives and having worked through them may help them bring some empathy and problem-solving/survival skills to the gig that your average con man, grifter, and self-aggrandizing performance artist might not possess.

      I think we have to remember that even for the best of them, practicing the art of politics requires negotiating a complex web of transactional relationships, which means we’re not gonna get exactly what we want from them 100 percent of the time. But if we try sometime, we just might find, we get what we need.
