10 MORE reasons not to like John Cornyn

http://www.pnionline.com/dnblog/attytood/archives/001680.html

He was a strident George Wallace supporter in high school, he's friendly with GOPUSA, the Jeff Gannon folks, his pollworkers were accused of intimidating Latinos, and his staff drafted a speech comparing gays to "box turtles." And then there's Enron.

Read the whole thing.

1. So that's why someone mentioned box turtles on another thread.

I hope someone does something about what he said today.

6. I had forgotten about the box turtle statement

Remember how Jon Stewart ridiculed him with this graphic?

7. No, I had no idea the source.

I no longer have cable television, so can't watch Jon Stewart. I have seen that graphic on DU, knew it had something to do with homosexuality, but thought it related to Rick Santorum.

Thanks for telling me what it is, and I have saved a copy. (In case I write to Cornyn.) :)

2. So he's one of the normal fringe Texans

However, his placing judges and their families in harms way through his loose lips should be enough for him to resign.

3. He's a dirty scum bag.

No doubt about it. He was just one of the * lackeys while he was AG. He is not right in the head, really.

4. You are being kind

But this is a family message board.

Cornyn is worse than that, a follower of the Bushista's, not a driving force like DeLay. Intellectually and morally bankrupt.

5. Exactly

I have much stronger words. I wish I were smart enough to express my disdain for his kind without resorting to "colorful" language.
