The Whole Delivery

You know, before swiftboated was even a word. It is a feeling that is generated though for those who somehow agree with new Civil Rights leader John Cornyn's ridiculous opinion that Reid's comments (from almost two years ago by the way) were way more harmful than Lott's infamous support and praise of racist Strom Thurmond. "Frankly, I don't expect Sen. Reid to resign. What this is about is his hypocrisy and the hypocrisy of folks on the other side when Trent Lott said something that was far more innocuous than the racially tinged comments that Sen. Reid made," Cornyn said this morning on MSNBC. I don't know what was more impressive in this interview from Cornyn. His ability to use the word "innocuous" or his ability to somehow show himself more of an idiot that he already is. But don't thank Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie (on their debut show today) for giving this sad cowboy the platform to first explain his "Reid should resign...

You really can't Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) has accused the Democrats of using race as a wedge issue in the Sonia Sotomayor confirmation process -- that is, the Dems have been "giving cover to groups and individuals to nurture racial grievances for political advantage." "I don't think it influences people's votes, but what it does encourage is a very poisonous -- indeed a very toxic -- tone of destructive politics," said Cornyn. "They ought to be ashamed of themselves." The fact that this man is a U.S. Senator shows how sad a state this world is in today.
