| Perhaps because Scott, a longtime politician (17 years and, um, counting), doesn't remember his basic math.
Bergen Record political reporter Herb Jackson sent, "a one-sentence e-mail inquiry to the press secretaries of the North Jersey delegation asking what their bosses are thankful for this year. One spokesman wrote back warning me to expect the longest sentence I've ever seen. Another asked if I wanted "a sincere or pithy" quote." http://www.northjers...
Everyone but Garrett responded, as anticipated, with a one sentence answer.
And what did New Jersey 5's Garrett say?
Rep. Scott Garrett, R-Wantage: "During this time of Thanksgiving, I couldn't be more grateful for my family. They love and support me through all the travails of my work and they endure my long and unusual work hours and weekly travel."
The sentiment is great. No debate here.
But we wonder about how Garrett counts that as one sentence.
Is that the same new math that suggests the national debt has declined on his watch?
