The short, bizarre congressional career of George Santos has come to its predictable, ignominious end. He should be proud -- he's made history! -- only one of six members of congress in 234 years to be ousted prematurely from the US House.
We should all be so memborable.
Earlier this week, outside Santos' district office in Queens, news crews lined up outside on multiple days, waiting for this moment.
I don't know what kind of news they thought they'd find there but, down in DC, news -- and history -- was most assuredly made:
Santos is now doomed to become a curiosity of history, a weird factoid and abberation of our times.
He'll probably go to jail but get out relatively soon, wind up working in right-wing media, spend the rest of his miserable life claiming that he was the target of a dark, vast, nefarious Deep State/Uniparty/Swamp/Establishment -- pick your favorite GOP buzzword -- conspiracy that directly targeted a gay, "Jew-ish" dark skinned immigrant Republican and his deep conservative values. He'll basically be a lifelong professional victim -- and not just the sleazy conman who lied about everything to everybody, broke the law, got caught and rightfully paid the price.
