...Eastern Queens is now George Santos's district.

Having lived there, I get it.

Of course, when I lived in San Diego, my Congress person for a time was Randy "Duke" Cunningham, who ultimately went to prison for corruption. He was a real right wing loser kind of guy as well.

In New Jersey, I got to have Rush Holt as my Congress person, in my opinion, the finest Congressional representative possible. His replacement, when he decided to leave the House, Bonnie Watson Coleman, is a fine Congress person, but she isn't Rush Holt.

I'd be embarrassed as hell if my Congress person was George Santos; I'm glad I escaped Long Island; I'm glad I escaped California and landed in nirvana, New Jersey.
