Don’t give me a donation, then you must be trying to bribe me

Rep. Corbin sounds like he has a case of sour grapes gone to extreme.
HoustonChronicle.com - Legislator questions rejection of donation request:
State Rep. Corbin Van Arsdale questioned Tuesday whether an executive of Time Warner Cable had violated state bribery laws by rejecting the lawmaker’s request for a campaign contribution because of a vote he made on a specific telecommunications bill.
1) Rep. Corbin votes for SB21. 2) He then asks for money from a TW PAC. 3) They turn him down, saying b/c of his vote, they cannot support him “at this time.” 4) Rep. Corbin interprets this to mean that they will give him a donation if he were to change his vote on the reintroduced bill, and is therefore a bribe attempt.
