The Texas Observer has a useful piece on our junior Senator, John Cornyn. There’s a lot of detail, but I think they captured his essence pretty thoroughly in these three sentences:
No one has done more to propel Cornyn’s career than [George W.] Bush. In turn, Cornyn has offered near complete fealty to the president. No other U.S. senator has voted so reliably with the White House in the past six years.
Boy, what I wouldn’t give for a $10 million advertising budget. The ad copy’s just been written. Alas. Anyway, it’s a good read, so check it out.
