Big John (Cornyn, That Is)

During the State Republican convention, Sen. Cornyn's folks put together a little something-something to show the convention attendees: this laugh-out-loud introduction/refresher on "Big John" Cornyn. Only in about 15 seconds of the video is Cornyn shown without a cowboy hat, while a man with a deep bass voice tells us that John "is doing the Lord's work for Texas" (oh, God was against the updated GI Bill?) and a choir keeps singing in the background, "Big Johhhhhn."

Sen. Cornyn told the delegates after the video was shown, "My staff convinced me it was a good idea. . .Maybe I need a new staff."

See the Statesman to make your own comparison between this video and the introductory video for Democratic nominee for Senate Rick Noriega.

He voted against the GI Bill because of all the earmarks and sneaky additional crap that was added to it. Cornyn is a douche, but he's not that stupid.
