Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican, needs a pooch if he desires to find a friend.<\/p>\n<p>Friends are in short supply for Gaetz as he faces allegations of improper sexual\u00a0 relations with an underage girl and &#8212; this is the worst part by far &#8212; whether he engaged in sex trafficking. Then there are reports from his colleagues that Gaetz has been showing &#8217;em nude pics of the women with whom he has taken a tumble.<\/p>\n<p>It really and truly stinks to be Matt Gaetz at this time.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong. Gaetz, who has been described as a political troll who is more interested in furthering weird causes than actually legislating, is one of the more detestable individuals serving on Capitol Hill. Media are reporting a decided lack of surprise among his congressional colleagues over what has been alleged.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, he&#8217;s got a few pals. They are fellow Donald Trump acolytes who, like Gaetz, continue to suck up to the ex-president. Gaetz is hoping, it appears likely, that Trump can parlay what little political stroke he has remaining to save this clown.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s instructive to me that Gaetz&#8217;s congressional communications director has quit, citing &#8220;principle&#8221; as his reason for resigning. Well, who else is going to abandon this nut job?<\/p>\n<p>Yep, Gaetz needs a pooch.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By JOHN KANELIS \/ johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com Someone once said if you want to have a &#8220;friend in Washington, get a dog.&#8221; My sense today is\u00a0 that U.S. Rep.
