News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
WASHINGTON, DC — Tensions among Republican members of Congress are on the rise after Utah Senator Mitt Romney confronted New York Congressman George Santos in the House chamber prior to President Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday night, with Romney reportedly telling Santos that there is only room for one fake Republican in Congress.
“Who does he think he is?” Romney was heard asking his staffers yesterday in the hallways of the Capitol. “There are some of us who have worked our entire lives to be fake conservatives! We’re the ones who have earned the right to sell out the Republican party, not this two-bit, fly-by-night con artist!”
When reached for comment, Congressman Santos seemed to take the high road. “While I’m disappointed to hear this from Mitt after the years I spent working as a Mormon missionary with his father, I understand that I am one of the new faces on Capitol Hill,” Santos said to reporters. “I’m coming in at the bottom of the totem pole, and I have to prove myself. When I helped Steve Jobs start Apple in his garage in the mid-70s, it was the same thing.”
When told of Santos’s comments, Romney was not amused. “This guy gives dishonest politicians a bad name, and I won’t stand for it,” Romney said. “George Santos — if that is indeed his real name — needs to leave the lying and fake conservative act to the experts.”
Go here to read the rest. The country dodged a bullet in 2012 and I never thought I would say that.

Pierre Delecto will say, do anything for the spotlight.
We all know that we are sinners. We all know that politicians are sinners. What we don’t like are the sanctimonious who ignore the first two propositions on the grounds that they don’t apply to them personally.
Meanwhile Chinese Biden in one and a half hours told more lies than Santos could in a lifetime.
I don’t know why.
There must be something in the water.
The Corporation had a field office in Utah, and I had to work with some of them cowboys. Very much not too bright.
Watch out. Willard is having some author write him a book which will come out this Fall. Then, he will be on all the lib talk shows and they’ll fawn all over him thinking he could be nominated and they could beat up on him like they did in 2012.
What a maroon.
TDS is real.
Clark Griswold, minus the wit and charm.
Good one, SOUTHCOAST. It was deceased Aunt Edna (Imogene Coca) on the station wagon roof not like the live, large dog on Romney’s car roof.
