After a little over a week working with embattled Rep. George Santos (R-NY), Derek Myers was informed that he would not be getting a permanent job. During that tense conversation, Santos also offered some parting advice.
Should we expect otherwise?
This is the absolute logical outgrowth of dark-money oligarchs funding “candidates” recruited from talent agencies and escort services, only this time the GOP grifters themselves got snookered.
I hope to see some NY Dems who are prepared to use Santos’s utter ridiculosity against their in-state GOP foes. This shit is too good to waste.
Meantime, Colbert’s writers are once again high-fiving and realize that they should have started smoking post-script weed four hours ago.
An office filled with clown shoes.
I’m not sure who is more pathetic and scary. This guy STILL wanted the job?!?
So, now he’s decided he’ll get his fame, dishing on the inner Santos circle.
I think I need a shower after all this crap
“You’re George Santos!”
What a burn.
Nothing would please me more than if Santos’ name became shorthand for being a useless fuckstick who had to make shit up just to be that. Much the way Santorum’s name has become infamous. Where’s Dan Savage when you need him?
It is, and it isn’t.
I mean, he sort of isn’t George Santos.
The Heisenberg member of Congress.
I doubt it. In that part of Queens and Nassau County, being a complete fucking moron is a badge of honor. That’s Joey Buttafucco territory.
“Don Lemon just texted me — I’m sorry, I’m listening to you — Don Lemon just texted me!” Here’s the thing, you see: There’s you. And then there’s ME
But Myers was having fun, so not really fair to fire him.
A huge part of the job of any member of Congress is constituent service.
Anyone think that is happening in the Santos office?
Myers seems like quite the character himself… getting mad about getting fired for recording conversations as he records the conversation.
the biggest lie?
“He feels terrible about lying, he feels terrible that he got caught,” Myers said of Santos.
The wierd part?
“I spend a lot more than that on Botox, but I trust the people,” Santos replied.
Like, Vitamin B?
This is such bullcrap!
“I trust his judgment more than my own judgment,” Santos added.
You’re a pathological liar, you scumbag.
I couldn’t even finish this article. OMFG.
There needs to be at least a baseline psych evaluation of any representative and any staffer before they can work in Washington. This shit ain’t normal. And if it is, it shouldn’t be. They are both barking mad.
ETA: I don’t think it was cut-price botox he was looking for in Colombia.
The petulance and sheer boneheadedness on display here is EPIC! I must admit, my favorite detail is that Myers flies down to Columbia to save money on Botox.
I was particularly caught by the, My Botox costs more than your Botox, comment
And he’s supposedly 30 years old? And Santos is 34, and he does Botox as well?
Hilarious.
Shallow, uninteresting people. And just the kind of banality one would expect. That said, they and the people who vote for Republicans are all dangerous to democracy because of that banality.
