1. If Cornyn was any denser he'd be a lump of lead.

[Probatim]

11. I was thinking neutron star dense. He's certainly as dull as lead.

[Deuxcents]

2. The look on his face is priceless

4. "An... An' where wuz this published?"

Meaning-- "Some staffer got this off some RW nutjob site, and I never even read it."

She stayed very polite-- politer than I would!

3. One of his aides will be blamed. Shit runs down.

[soldierant]

20. I'm sure at least one staffer was involved ...

there is no way that Cornyn could have found the article without help. The Harvard Crimson? What on earth is that?

If the staffer did not tell him it was satire, that may have been flattering to him, but it was obviously reckless.

5. Conservatives are too stupid to understand satire

6. I wish that had gone on another minute or so, would have loved to see his next comment.

12. It continues as the senator grips his troublesome left ear lobe and tears it off by its roots.

If they'd only had 20 seconds more tape we'd a got all the gory details. But they'll just paste it back on this pm when they recreate him in a QOP cybernetic ritual dating from the late 90's they call "spending more time with the family" wherein all Republicans are dismantled, re-fitted and reassembled per the newest days specifications.

7. I've asked many times - is there a smart RePutinican in Washington or elsewhere??

[magicguido]

9. Just another dumb republican feigning concern over a non issue.

[Marie Marie]

10. Ooops - never mind then.

[agingdem]

14. John Cornyn is Emily Litella

"never mind"...

[NurseJackie]

15. His very own "Emily Litella" moment.

[George II]

13. I guess the next few seconds were:

16. Next he asked her about "sax and violins on television".

Never mind.

17. What a chump. He tried that "gotcha" question crap with then Senator Harris...

once. She shot him down in flames too. He should be tired of being shown to be a dummy by Black women by now?

She knew just where he was headed and had her answer ready. That’s why she was so calm and polite, and that’s why he looked flummoxed. Hilarious. Medical malpractice defense attorney, state district (trial) judge, Texas AG and state supreme court justice gets his cojones handed to him by (gasp!) a woman. And holy Moses, a black one at that.

19. Oops!

He kind of ended up sounding like an ignorant racist.
