The Mad Centrist - The political podcast for the rest of us.
The MAD Centrist – named after the Kurt Vonnegut quote from The Monkey House, “A sane person to an insane society must appear insane.”
It seems apropos to drop an episode on the myth of George Santos and his removal from Congress by the Republicans in the House on April Fool's Day, but it makes me wonder about the Democrats in the Senate and Bob Menendez. Let's dig in to this one and maybe have some golden times along the way!
