The Senator Checks Out
ByHe's suspending his campaign in an economic crisis because that's what leaders do in a crisis, right? They check out. But it turns out that McCain has checked out of the Senate too:
Of all Senators, John McCain has been the most absent. There have been 643 votes taken in the current Senate session: McCain has missed 412 of them. McCain has not voted in the Senate since April 8th. Since March, he has missed 109 of the last 110 votes.
He missed votes on the GI Bill, energy policy, and in 2007 he missed "all 15 critical environmental votes in the Senate" -- giving him a 2007 rating of 0% from the League of Conservation Voters."
