Big Bad John Needs a Hug

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) has been making the rounds on morning shows explaining all of the troublesome issues with donations to the Clinton Foundation. Yes, that would be the John Cornyn who put a hold on Hillary Rodham Clinton’s nomination for Secretary of State, then voted for her after 1) Clinton approached him after the inaugural ceremonies and 2) Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) took the floor to tell Republicans to support her.

The hosts of “Fox and Friends” asked Cornyn about his confrontation with Clinton yesterday, when she reportedly put her hand on his arm. “It was done in affection,” said Cornyn. The cameras cut away from him before he nervously handed over his lunch money to a gang of menacing Senate pages.
