Cameo is an online video platform with which you can pay a celebrity – “B”, “C”, “F” to “Z” – to send a video greeting to a friend or family. Former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) already is drawing fees four times what he earned just after he was expelled last week, and Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is buying. Fetterman paid Santos $343 to punk Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), according to Business Insider.

“I thought my ethically-challenged colleague @BobMenendezNJ could use some encouragement given his substantial legal problems,” Fetterman said of the U.S. senator charged with bribery, posting on X. “So I approached a seasoned expert on the matter to give ‘Bobby from Jersey’ some advice.”

Santos’ Cameo greeting to Menendez: “Hey Bobby … Look, I don’t need to tell you, but these people want to kick you out and make you run away – you make them put up or shut up. You stand your ground, sir.”

The Hill figures Santos doesn’t know who Menendez is, from this correspondence back to Fetterman: “Bobby from Jersey. I love this! I wish I knew the Bobby in question! LOL.”

Biggest surprise is that the congressman who tried to make a fashion statement on Capitol Hill still uses “LOL.”
