Clean up after the dog?! I think he is missing the bigger ass and the mess coming from it…

Why does everyone avoid using the obvious and correct words in identifying behavior?

Garrett is guilty of Public Corruption in the Waste; Misuse and Abuse of Taxpayer resources.

But why did these voters elect him? Are they all crooks? Shouldn’t they be held responsible too?

I would call him a piece of dogshit, but then I would just be making more work for his aides.

Garrett has the usual “holier-than-though” look on his face to make people think his own dogshit doesn’t stink.

And as you are flushed down the Toilet of Politics, Tom, please refrain from leaving skidmarks on the bowl.
I am so sorry that I keep making these scatological remarks, but Republicans make it so easy!

A Garrett spokesperson declined to address Politico’s list of accusations, saying, “we see no reason to respond to anonymous, unfounded allegations primarily targeting Congressman Garrett’s wife, made by Politico’s ‘unnamed’ sources. It is easy to spread untruths and even easier to exaggerate and imply wrongdoing when none exists.”

It would have been far briefer and more accurate to just admit the allegations.

They just wanted the press to let everyone know her name is Flanna. As in: “Flanna Miami tomorrow.”

At least he wasn’t hitting on the interns. Or is that tomorrow’s news?

…rumors flew that he was considering dropping his reelection bid.

This is really unfair: the hoi polloi shouldn’t have any say over whether or not a man’s family belongs amongst the nobility.

It’s a slippery slope. First you’re cleaning up after the dog, the next thing you’re wiping his ass.
