DISQUS

have you no shame, sir?

scytherius · 1 year ago

OK. That's it. You've convinced me. Republicans ARE aliens. They are too non-human to be otherwise. I mean human beings would see what they do (like this ad) as utterly bizarre. They seem to miss that.

Visual Viagra. I had at least three orgasmic eruptions while watching this masterpiece. What ever happened to the alleged judicial corruption charges against this bozo when he was a Texas judge? Just like Frist's illegal insider trading, the politicized Justice Department looks the other way when it involves a Republican.

kevinbgoode · 1 year ago

Good God - are all Republicans finally starting to reveal themselves as certifiable loons? Box-turtle Cornie has obviously spent too much time out of his sandbox.

"He's doin' the Lord's work for texas'?

They are certifiable nuts.

jonworks · 1 year ago

that was sooooooo bad. I couldn't watch the whole thing. I'm ashamed to say I live in Texas after that ..... like other have pointed out, it shows the 4-year old mentality of these people. Sigh.

Ksue · 1 year ago

OMG. That just effing sucks. Are you kidding me? They're invoking the voice of Johnny Cash in this commercial? How hideous.

As a Texan, I'm so very sorry that our senators are Big John and Kay Bailey Pageant Queen.

I have no one to write to.

Cpeterka · 1 year ago

Too bad the Senator can't change his first name to RICHARD.

Big Bad Dick !
ROFL

That was surreal. But it does give me a little more insight into the minds of these loony-toon republicans.

The Daily Show version wasn't a gay reference it was Big Jew... And very funny!

John Aravosis · 1 year ago

He made a gay chorus reference too

BorninUSA · 1 year ago

Funny? No. I have been thinking maybe the writers for the Daily Show are on strike again. The shows lately haven't been all that funny. Stewart can do so much better than that. His edge is off.

"Kept Texas on top and made lesser states squirm"

WTF does that mean? Is the Senate some kind of fight club where you go to beat up on smaller states?

Idiot!

houstonray · 1 year ago

Sounds like something you'd hear in a leather bar. Either that or Texas is a 'top' and all the other states are 'bottoms'.

He's been hanging out at the Ripcord too long, and with all that fringe on the jacket, I'd say big nelly bottom. Not that there's anything wrong with a big nelly bottom, necessarily.

TimK · 1 year ago

Also, it implicitly assumes that there ARE lesser states than Texas. Which there are not.

As porn goes, I'm no chubby-chaser but that was steamy. What a John!

Webster · 1 year ago

Good. Lord. Is there any way (once George moves back) that we can give Texas back to Mexico? Don't let Andrew Sullivan see this, he'll get all hot and bothered.

Milli · 1 year ago

I can't freakin stand Walker Texas Ranger!!!!!!!!!! But I'm all for bigger bathrooms if thats what he's getting at.

tlsintx · 1 year ago

ack.
this attempt at manipulative imagery backfires miserably...heehee!
Big John comes across less like John Wayne, and more like Barney Fife.

cowboys and POWs and fighter jet pilots, oh my.
(is anyone else's gaydar going off?)

BlueNTexas · 1 year ago

Oh hell. I am sending Rick Noriega more money right now. This asshat has to go.

Vote for Rick Noriega, while Texas still has a chance to save face!

I truely believe that Diebold was practicing for 2000 general election back when Chimpy took the governors office from our Grand Lady Ann Richards. That year everything started going to hell in a hand basket.

That sure is a purty blue shirt John has on.
LOL

John, from the sound of your remarks here it seems that you weren't around in the 60's (forgivable, because well, actually, hey, you weren't). The baritone in the ad sounds very much like, virtually indistinguishable from, the original (very) popular version of the song. And yeah, guess what? That's why the commercial will "resonate" with a certain demographic or two. As I recall, the song was again "very popular" as an "oldie" at least through the 70's. That's when you were born, right? Don't worry, it's every human's tendency to think, up through a certain age, that the world only began when he/she did.

nicho · 1 year ago

Well, I was around in the 60's -- and the '50's -- and the never mind.

I think this ad is just plain silly. Ridiculous, actually. The only demographic it will resonate with are in institutions.

John Cornyn - national laughing-stock
that just about says it all.

i bet they're trying to figure out how to get this out of the internet tubes...

sukabi1 · 1 year ago

Wow, that was so Johnny Cash meets Brokeback Mountain... I'm speechless!

Don't think it'll get the response he's hoping for though.... way too contrived and ssssslllllooooooooooowwwwwww.

He should stick to the box turtles.

tlsintx · 1 year ago

here's who's running against Big Bad John Cornball:

help us elect Rick Noriega-

petefitdc · 1 year ago

this is serious?
I honestly thought I was watching one of those Sat Night Live commerical parodies, seriously this is almost as gay as the SNL 'commericial' advertising "Scmitts Gay" with Chris Farley and Adam Sandler--a classic for those who missed it

I saw this ad two weeks ago or so and thought it was truly good soft core gay porn myself. The idiot yahoos down here will lap that shit right up. They adore Senator Cornpone....we also refer to him as Senator John Cornhole. Senator Cornpone is just a tad too butch and methinks this lady doth protest too much....awfully pretty, pretty hair, and oh them tight Wranglers round his purty ass just make me heart a flutter. Wish we could out this cowgirl. His homophobia is so over the top, it just smells, nay, wreaks of big old 'mo. And this TV ad really is a bit too hyper butch cowboy over the top. Senator Cornhole...go milk bulls on the Crawford ranch with Dubbya and let Noriega have your Senate seat.

The sad part of this is that the average Texas voter will see this ad and hail him as a real man with real Texas values.

Senator...fergit the horse and ride a cowboy!!!!

he's got a taste for leather and a taste for drag
and he'll kick your ass if you call him a fag
Big Doooong. Big Doooong....

More like "big bald John" the way they're cutting off the top of his head or having him wear a cowboy hat.

houstonray · 1 year ago

Great quote on our local news just a few minutes ago, a Democratic media consultant said:

"People don't stop to realize Cornyn is not the Marlboro Man, he's a plump, pasty faced politician in Cowboy drag".

I about fell off the couch!
