Reply #4: Cornyn is not very smart

[Gman]

He was a mediocre District Judge in San Antonio where he had a much less than stellar stint. It's not that he did anything bad or scandalous, its that his reputation was that he was not a thinker by any stretch of the imagination.

Cornyn did an absolutely mediocre at best job as Texas Attorney General. Nothing at all can be said that makes him stand out. But he found his niche in that he found it within his comfort zone to be a scripted, robotic right winger.

Cornyn has to have a script if he is to do anything. The GOP and right wing in general have found Cornyn to be a useful tool for spewing venom. All they do is wind him up, give him the script, and put him in front of a microphone.

Cornyn has NEVER had an original idea on government in his entire life. I'll give his predecessor, Phil Gramm some credit for his academic background (despite the fact he flunked in grade school 3 times). Cornyn is no academic, much less a thinker. He's simply a windup attack bot.
