Big Bad John

Oh, Senator John Cornyn, why? WHY?

This, dear readers, is absolutely real. Found it on Yahoo!, saw it on other pages, and let me tell you, it's absurdity at it's finest.

Watch, and then let's discuss.



Can you believe it? It sort of makes my skin crawl and my stomach turn, and then, I want to start it over at the beginning.

Some of my favorite lines:
"Makes lesser states squirm."
Coz, yeah, we like our senators to bully other senators?

"You're doing the Lord's work for Texas, and we got your back."
Thank God we've got Big Bad John on our side and not one of Satan's liberal minions.

"That place out yonder needs more men like you who shoot straight and talk straight and enjoy a good brew."
First of all, we have a woman senator, too. I wonder if Big Bad John's senior colleague appreciates all the misogyny and stupid good ol' boy rhetoric he's spewing?

This ad is idiotic. But, look at the product. And just because it's not paid for by his own campaing doesn't mean he didn't know what he was doing.

From the Fort Worth Star Telegram: "'This was a good-natured introduction we did at the Houston convention a couple of weeks ago.'

When the video was shown at the convention, Cornyn told delegates: 'My staff convinced me that it would be a good idea. Maybe I need a new staff.'"

Apparently, I'm a little late on this ridicule bandwagon, and it's already been on The Daily Show, but it sure doesn't hurt to continue spreading the word. Remember, this man is the one who tried to equate gay marriage rights to bestiality with his famous box turtle comment.

And just in case you forgot that quote:
"It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle. But that does not mean it is right ... [N]ow you must raise your children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife."

Please vote against this fellow Trinity alumnus in November. He's up against Rick Noriega, a Houston native and state lawmaker. At the very least, he can't be as bad as this idiot.
