Cornyn Booed At Austin Tea Party

Evidently, John Cornyn’s image among the Teabagging set isn’t what it used to be:
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn drew boos from a crowd outside the Texas Capitol this afternoon as he spoke at a “tea party” rally organized by the Texas office of Americans for Prosperity.
Cornyn was booed at the start and close of his remarks, which assailed actions in Washington; there were no boos while he awarded a Purple Heart to a Copperas Cove resident injured in Iraq in 2006.
“You’re the problem,” a crowd member hollered.
Another crowd member yelled that Cornyn voted for the initial federal bailout of Wall Street approved by Congress last year, the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
There is even video of Cornyn being booed:

Is there any mention in your article of the number of attendees and/or the number of those who were booing? If not, is there a reason you chose not to report these facts also?
