    Cornyn, found


    Glenn Thrush says the question from the Senate floor this evening was "where was Cornyn," as the Texas Republican was the only senator to miss the crucial cloture vote on the stimulus package.

    The answer: He was at a New York gathering of prominent media conservatives and Wall Street Republican donors called the Monday Meeting, held at the Grand Hyatt hotel in Midtown Manhattan.

    Though not a fundraiser, the meeting is a hub of conservative money and buzz, a good place for Cornyn to tap into resources in his role as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

    There were no specifics in the clip you showed. I asked which bits you or whoever considered pork. Your clip in no way answers the question.

    We should heed TJ's advice.

    He knows full well the foibles of being a sheeple and buying into political manipulation hook, line, and sinker.

    a little bit. The fact that he bothered to respond at all gave me hope it might be something that came close to at least a partial answer, but apparently not.

    This is like an arsonist standing on the lawn of a mansion he helped set on fire telling the firefighters that they are putting it out in the wrong way the moment the water starts to trickle out of the hose.
