Cornyn, Costco and Booze
In addition to being a member of the U.S. Senate, one of the world’s great debating societies, John Cornyn is a member of Costco, one of the world’s great shopping societies.
And, we learn from The Reliable Source column in The Washington Post, Costco seems to be the place where Cornyn stocks up on adult beverages. A Cornyn trip to Costco was among three Texas-related items in today’s column under the “Hey, Isn’t That…?” section.
The Texas senator and wife Sandy were seen “loading up on Amstel Light and wine at the Pentagon City Costco Friday afternoon, the Texas Republican wearing - whoo hoo! - a Hawaiian print shirt. What was the occasion? Just a rare summer weekend in D.C., said his rep.”
Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan was seen “squeezing into one of those Southwest seats on a BWI-St. Louis flight yesterday. Must be a drag after the years on Air Force One.”
The final Texas-related note reported that Lynda Bird Johnson Robb and one of her daughters were seen “laughing through the ribald ‘The Witches of Eastwick’ at Signature Theatre in Arlington Sunday afternoon. The former Va. first lady wore a very classic white sweater and is apparently a series subscriber.”
