John Cornyn Jumps On Alvin Greene Obscenity Charges
I have to agree with Hot Air's ALLAHPUNDIT here. I even feel a little sorry for the guy. Yeah, clearly he is moronic and bizarre beyond belief. But there is a degree of kookyness built into our politics anyway and Greene NEVER should have won.
It's always funny when Obama/Pelosi, Bush/Palin make fools of themselves. But when someone so out of his head gets over his head, I don't know. It just feels like we are laughing at the retarded kid. For most of us, that should be a very uneasy feeling.
Hot Air Video: America’s candidate finally starting to lose it
Actually this is more a case of Americas candidate continuing to lose it, isnt it? I fear the process started some time ago.
Seriously, though, is the GOP really going to use this guy as a midterm talking point against Democrats? As kooky as he is, I cant help having sympathy for him which is pretty much the opposite of the emotions evoked by the Democratic leadership. Leave Alvin alone!

John Cornyn Jumps On Alvin Greene Obscenity Charges
"We support the nominee and respect the right of the primary voters to make that selection," Cornyn said during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday." "I suppose the Democrats in Florida with Kendrick Meek and Jeff Greene running in a spirited primary down there, and in South Carolina with Al Greene, who has now been indicted on obscenity charges, who is running against [Sen.] Jim DeMint, I mean these sorts of things happen in the context of politics, but the American people will be able to render their verdict on November 2."
Cornyn has, somewhat remarkably, not discussed Greene all that often in the past. But that was before the obscenity charges were formally leveled. It wouldn't be terribly surprising if the South Carolina Democrat became even more of a fixture (both in GOP talking points and media coverage) the longer his legal troubles linger. As an illustration of the discomfort Greene causes, Cornyn's co-panelist, Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI) made a mad-dash shift away from the topic when asked whether a departure from the race should be in the candidate's future.
