John Cornyn (R-TX) on why Rumsferatu SHOULD NOT resign...
One scenario raised by some in the GOP leadership was that Mr. Rumsfeld and several other Cabinet ministers offer their resignations as part of the current administration shakeup. Over the past week, White House press secretary Scott McClellan has resigned and Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove has agreed to a role with reduced authority.

But the sources said the White House plans to hold on to Mr. Rumsfeld despite the pressure from the leadership. They said Mr. Bush feels that kicking out Mr. Rumsfeld would mean "open season" on the administration.

"It (Rumsfeld's resignation) would encourage demands for other members of the Cabinet or other people close to the president to resign," said Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

1. John Cornyn would rise to the fierce defense of Himmler if given half
a chance and a tv camera and microphone.

Grandstanding hard-ass nutcase.

2. Wait a sec is this that nut that likened gay marriage to marrying a box
turtle?



I bet if you gave this guy a golf club he'd probably try to fuck it.

5. Cornyn - One of the Senators that voted against the McCain
Anti-Torture Law.

He is contemptible slime. Texans deserve better.

11. Sounds like a variation of the domino theory
If Rumsfeld falls, other Bush appointees will fall too.

16. Cornyn allows KB Hutchison to retain her title:
The Less Insane Texas Senator. He's a worthy successor to the loathesome Phil Gram.
