Anybody Seen John McCain?

I may be old fashioned, but you should do the job you are being paid to do before you try to get a new job. John McCain disgraced his candidacy and the nation by absenting himself in the crucial vote to include a resolution defunding the Iraq War in the appropriations bill. The amendment was defeated by 50 votes against and 48 in favor. Two members were absent: Tim Johnson who is still seriously ill and John McCain. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd, and Sam Brownback, all of whom are senators running for president managed to find the time to show up, but not McCain.

His straight talk express was roiling around the Iowa countryside. I thought straight talk included showing up when they are paying you!!!
