I have now been enshrined in late night TV history with all these impersonations, but they are all TERRIBLE so far. Jon Lovitz is supposed to be one of the greatest comedians of all time and that was embarrassing— for him not me! These comedians need to step their game up.

^ 1010 is the AM radio

In reply to "Where's George?" campaign

^ 1010 is the AM radio station everyone in the NYC area uses when they need breaking news - it's obnoxious to listen to for longer than 10 minutes because it keeps repeating every 10 minutes and has no other content except breaking local news, traffic and weather. But if you need one of those 3 things, you go there.

"Where's George?" campaign

"Where's George?" campaign off and running, including using social media and legacy media (first off, he has not bothered to set up an office in the district he is supposed to be representing):

This morning we launched the "Where's George" campaign to locate our missing Congressman George Santos

If you see George in the district, take a picture of him and upload it with the hashtag #WheresGeorge

If Santos wont come to the residents he serves, then we will come to him https://t.co/uGmgvCe7R7

the stories keep coming (Hollywood script?)

In 2019, George Santos introduced himself as Anthony Devolder, the founder of “United for Trump,” during a Q & A session at a “Walk Away LGBT” event in NYC.

Asked McCarthy about entrusting nation’s secrets with George Santos — who has legal problems in Brazil and lied about his past — since Santos will have access to classified briefings. “I don’t see any way he’s going to have top secret … he’s got a long way to go to earn trust.” pic.twitter.com/nT4u2iZgty

But he won’t call on Santos to resign. “The one thing I do know is you apply the Constitution equal to all Americans. The voters of his district have elected him …He is part of the Republican conference. There are concerns about it, so he will go before ethics.”
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) January 12, 2023

“If anything is found to be wrong, he will be held accountable, exactly as anybody else in this body would be. That is the fair way to handle anything, and that’s how I’ll deal with any single issue …” McCarthy said. (The district could be a D pickup if Santos resigned)

Ironic but a low bar.

In reply to Bill Kristol & TPM:

Ironic but a low bar.

Hoping the 4 investigations turn up at least wire fraud.

Still, the GOP would let Santos video stream his vote from Rikers. (I'd give him the Jeffrey Epstein suite in MCC, but they closed it. Maybe bunk with Sam Bankman-Fried in Brooklyn's MDC?)

^ should add this context - while the national party has not done much, the NY State GOP is screaming bloody murder today, and he is basically responding to them there:
