So many readers have told me how impressive Senator John Cornyn is. I’ve yet to see it. I’m sure he’s very bright, former judge and all that. I suppose he’s right on most issues. But I think he’s just bad on TV. Period. Yesterday’s performance on Fox News Sunday was just the latest example. Pains me though it does to say it, I think Charles Schumer [Cue cat shriek] ate his lunch. Of course it was an act, but Schumer came off as a reasonable, generous and informed guy acting in good faith. I can see why this might have knocked Cornyn for a loop, but he was caught completely unprepared and seemed to be without talking-points and eager to fight a strawman.

Senator Cornyn must be very impressive off-camera, because they keep thinking he’ll be good on camera. Think again.
