Being a Texan is pretty cool sometimes. Forget about having the coolest salsa TV commercials. (“New York City!! Get a rope!”) How about having a relatively unknown US Senator who puts donkey dancers like John McCain in their place without batting an eye.

PLEASE read this article that tells the story about Sen. John Cornyn out-classing John McCain in a recent committee meeting.

Essentially, McCain comes in barnstorming a meeting on the immigration bill (the first time he’s been a meeting in months), being his usual high-and-mighty, photo-op-seeking, grand-standing, jerk. Using the worst kind of coarse language and thus proving himself to be nothing more than a school yard bully, McCain accuses Cornyn of trying to torpedo the immigration bill. Cornyn stands up to Mister-CNN-Sound-Byte and thoroughly puts him in his place, pointing out that he had not been in any of the months of negotiations on the bill.

McCain retorts with a limp, “Nuh huh” comment (more school yard bully tactics), using more profanity. Then, McCain proves Cornyn’s point by joining a big press conference on the immigration bill, then promptly skipping town and missing his 43rd straight vote in the Senate.

You go Cornyn! Texas!! Whoop!

(Incidentally, Cornyn trying to torpedo the ludicrous immigration bill just proves to me that he’s doing a good job of representing me in Congress.)
