As the saying goes, “Great minds think alike”. I just came across this story about how Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman purchased a “Cameo“ from recently expelled Congressman and future “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” contestant George Santos. Fetterman, who it appears, paid the updated price of $200 up from the $75 he was charging before he got the boot from office. As it is now Santos’ only source of income. Seeing as stealing money from campaign donors was also abruptly removed from his earnings portfolio.
The recipient of Fetterman’s comical gift was disgraced Democratic Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey. Menendez like Santos, is currently under indictment and is facing mounting pressure to resign from Republicans and Democrats alike. Although Fetterman’s intention was most likely for Santos’ “Cameo” to be a cautionary tale for Menendez. It looks as though Santos took the opportunity to give his fellow indicted Congressmen a pep talk as if he were a shady Tony Robbins.
Just yesterday, it was reported that the stack of gold bars, that were seized at Menendez’s home from the FBI, can be traced back to a robbery back in 2013. So I’m assuming Menendez required some consolation even if it was from one of the top two most despised people in the country. That “Saturday Night Live” parodied quite nicely might I add. The use of an oversized cape-like jacket to mock Santos’s real-life fleeing of the Capital with his coat flimsily draped over his shoulders was a nice touch.
What makes this story, of Fetterman soliciting George Santos for his “Cameo” services, hit home. Just this morning, before I came upon this story, I was asked by family members to make a list of possible gifts I would like for our annual Christmas grab. Even though everyone knows that I ask for the same thing every year. A gift card to the department store where I purchase most of my clothes. (No Free Ads!!). That way I won’t have to pretend to be excited about getting something that would be two sizes too big for John Fetterman, with a design so out of style even Marjorie Taylor Greene would consider it a bit much. However this year, I decided to spice up my list by sarcastically adding some items that my family would immediately know that I would not accept at gunpoint.
As it turns out, I wasn’t the only one who found the humor in a George Santos “Cameo” as a holiday joke. John Fetterman apparently, had beaten me to the punch. For as much as I appreciate being an original thinker, I don’t mind being on the same page as the Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania. Now, if it was Santos whom I had matched wits with. Not only would this column have never seen the light of day, I would have been in the market for a new family. Because the thought of being lumped together with Santos is a fate no man deserves from his loved ones. Unless of course, you’re the corrupted Senator from New Jersey, Bobby “Gold Bars” Menendez. the moral doppelgänger of George Santos. Who now, thanks to Fetterman, Menendez has a one-of-a-kind message from.
