Not George Washington

Santos fooled the folks as he spoke
George thinks mashing facts is a joke
This N.Y. House dope
Needs his mouth rinsed with soap
His diaper-rash words make me choke


Author's note: Why did voters in NY district #3 elect a bold-faced liar to Congress? Mr. Santos may have some kind of illness. Be that as it may, if a candidate freely lies, fools the voters, and receives no condemnation from his party's cohorts, it suggests the following: 

It's not about where the ship of state sails, but rather who resides on the top deck. If the hull leaks, we can all go down, so even top-deck denizens ought to be careful about who does what.

Santos is the one who lied about his CV giving false education details and false positions he held. If I am right as to who it is, they should delete him and bin him as per Google readers can when answering whatever on the internet - how on earth does he deserve to be in politics , but this happens world wide Duke. Great write about a suspect call of duty by the republicans to someone not worthy of the position he holds. Hugs and blessings Jennifer.
