Has There Ever Been Anyone Like George Santos Before?

I’m not sure if I should be proud or scared that @irasdad and I thought the same thing.

I said previously, that in certain ways Santos reminds me of Woody Allen’s character in his movie Zelig .

Zelig is a 1983 American mockumentary film written, directed by and starring Woody Allen as Leonard Zelig, a nondescript enigma, who, apparently out of his desire to fit in and be liked, unwittingly takes on the characteristics of strong personalities around him.

Santos seems to accumulate the experiences, successes, and characteristics of the last person he spoke to. Someone he spoke to played volleyball, so George claimed that he was a volleyball star. Someone he spoke to had a knee replacement, so George had two knew replacements, etc…

He can’t help himself. It’s who he is.
