Rep. George Santos stars in 28 Days Later

     Thank God we dodged that bullet.

     Well, it's been 28 days since the 118th Congress began. According to that Danny Boyle timeline, the last four weeks have given us a pretty clear indication of what to expect from what is already shaping up to be the worst Congress in US history.

     At the same time that Kevin McCarthy had booted Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell off the Intelligence Committee (which he can do since it's a select committee and the committee assignments are the sole discretion of the Speaker) and is trying kick Ilhan Omar off Foreign Affairs Committee, he's also had to deal with George Santos.

     After a late night meeting with McCarthy last night, Santos announced that he would recuse himself from the Science and Small Business committees on which McCarthy had placed him. Earlier today, chased by reporters who always smell blood wafting from Santos, he arrogantly said it was his own decision and that nobody tells him what to do... including the Speaker of the House, apparently.

     Strictly by coincidence, Elise Stafanik, Liz Cheney's replacement as the number three House Republican, has already begun the inevitable crawl away from Santos' putrefying political corpse and essentially blamed the voters of NY-3 for swallowing his lies and electing him.

     The thing is, Stefanik busted her ass to get Santos elected, including brokering some lucrative fundraisers, one of them hauling in $100,000. In fact, a senior Republican strategist told CNN that a donor told him he only donated to Santos because of Stefanik's endorsement.

     As one can expect, Santos is in hot water not only with his own voters but Stefanik's own constituents aren't too thrilled with her these days, either, for selling them a rotten bill of goods.

     Add to that OAN, OAN of all places, held Santos' feet to the fire for his lack of contrition.

     Stay tuned for the next scandal. Because you know, with Santos, it won't end here.
