The press corps on Capitol Hill knows John Cornyn to be one of the nicest guys around -- always ready to discuss the issue of the day, tolerant of un-informed questions, and in possession of an impressive pair of cowboy boots.
But who knew the good senator from Texas was so forgiving of bad behaviour? Cornyn has just endorsed John McCain for the Republican nomination, citing the need for a president "who will not buckle when the political waters become rough". This is the same McCain who, eight months ago, dropped the F-bomb in Cornyn's face during negotiations on the immigration bill in an episode that still sets tongues a-wagging.
I can't wait to see them embracing each other after McCain wins the Texas primary.
