Texas’ other senator, John Cornyn, is not as crazy as Ted Cruz, but he’s just as mean.

Cornyn has pledged that the senate will react to President Obama’s nomination to the Supreme Court by beating them like a piñata.

The No. 2 Senate Republican warned Monday that potential nominees to the Supreme Court should consider the battle they will be forced to endure if they are picked for the post, suggesting a high-stakes slugfest could damage their reputations in a fruitless pursuit of the top court.

“I think they will bear some resemblance to a piñata,” said Sen. John Cornyn of Texas.

Good to know that, John.  We’ll nominate your mother.

Let me remind John that you’re blindfolded when you hit the piñata, and that it takes a bunch of people looking like fools before that sucker gets hit.

Bring it on, John.  Bring it on.

Thanks to Mary for the heads up.
