His mother did survive the 9/11 attacks. Just like all the rest of us.

“As Santos himself noted at a bitterly cold press conference Thursday morning, he’s the first member to be jettisoned who has not been convicted of a crime or supported the confederacy.”

He’s got a point. Supporting the Confederacy wouldn’t get you expelled these days.

“The future — the future is endless,” Santos said, smiling, as he wrapped up his Thursday press conference, the sun breaking over the House office buildings. “You can do whatever you want next. I’m going to do whatever I want.”

If he could sing I think the lead in a revival of “The Music Man” would suit this deluded clown well.

Just when you think the GQP will fail, they actually do one thing right.

I don’t think this story is over, but it sure has taken an interesting twist.

Needed 290, got 311.

“The future — the future is endless,” Santos said, smiling, as he wrapped up his Thursday press conference, the sun breaking over the House office buildings. “You can do whatever you want next. I’m going to do whatever I want.”

If “whatever you want” is code for “spending the rest of my life under federal supervision”, then Santos is correct.

That’s the kind of can-do attitude that got him into trouble in the first place.

I’ve stopped being shocked at republicans’ terrible, horrible, no-good behavior, but doing something right for a change is quite a shock. Not expecting anything else like this any time soon, however.

Reminds me of this Jack Handey quote:

Mom always told me I could be whatever I wanted to be when I grew up, ‘within reason.’ When I asked her what she meant by ‘within reason,’ she said, ‘You ask a lot of questions for a garbage man.’
