Cornyn Camp Releases "Noriega-ism's" Ahead of Debate

Senator John Cornyn's campaign sent supporters an email this morning with "things to watch for in tonight's debate" between the Senator and the state Rep. from Houston. It's clear the Cornyn camp has paid close attention to every word uttered by their opponent. They prepared a list of Noriega's malapropisms and cliches to listen for tonight:

"We need to kill the snake while we have the hoe in the hand."
"That's a penny wise and pound foolish."
"That dog won't hunt."
"We know what tail wags that dog."
"He's all hat and no cattle."
"Walk the talk."
"He reads the Constitution as 'me the people,' not 'we the people.'"
"Answer the call."
"People need to decide whether they buy a gallon of gas or a gallon of milk."
"Rubber stamp."
"We hold an 18 year old Army Private to a higher standard than a United States Senator."
"Like any job the junior Senator should have to go through a review process. And we as Texans have to decide whether we're going to rehire him."
"I'm fed up."
"Washington double talk."
"We've been told 2+2 = 5, and it just doesn't add up."
"This is a David and Goliath race. But I like David's chances. Nobody likes Goliath."
"The President goes hat in hand."

Stay tuned, we'll see if Noriega releases some Cornyn-isms, too!
