Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

John McCain has missed 61% of the Senate votes he's paid to cast during the 110th Congress. That's even more than Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD), who suffered a brain brain hemorrhage on Dec. 13, 2006, and spent several months recovering. Barack Obama? Eighteen percent fewer votes missed than McCain.

In actuality not having McBush in the Senate to vote is a good thing for America.

What about Teddy?

"What about Teddy?"

Gee, sorry, Shirts, I forgot that you don't know how a link works.

What you do is go to the headline and click on it with you mouse. That will take you to the story. It's kind of like a miracle, but different. Anyhoo, what you'll discover is that Ted Kennedy has missed 11.9% of the votes in the 110th Congress.

From now on, you'll be expected to do you own lite lifting, ok?

Doc,

You expect one of the right wing loons to do any work?

McCain has a note from home. He was enrolled in sensitivity training. Charm school for adults.

McCain's charm needs some work:

Well, my friend, (heh, heh) my 138 year old mother thinks I'm charming enough. (Weird fake smile)

FF for SAN

You're right, 726. I'm thinking that sort of memory lapse is probably due to the low caffeine content of green tea.

"You're right, 726. I'm thinking that sort of memory lapse is probably due to the low caffeine content of green tea."

You gotta quit drinkin' that shit, Doc. You might think about givin' up that tofu and all them bean sprouts too. They're gonna make your weenie shrink (probably already has) and your voice will change to sound like Rosie O'Donnell.

Like FLOP EARS and FAT ASS aren't!

Sure they are. But not as much as John-boy.

He's # 1! - In yer face.

Thanks

"Barack Obama? Eighteen percent fewer votes missed than McCain."

It's encouraging to know that Osama will drop everything and return to D.C. when it's time to rename a post office, or pass a bill full of earmarks, or to continue funding the war in Iraq.

Now that's leadership!

Mcsame not voting is no big deal-he's on both sides of any issue anymore, so he'd only cancel himself out.

They should give back 61% and 43% of their salaries.

You're welcome.
No charge.

I was wondering about that.
You should hear me yodel, though.
I'll switch to more barbecue, whiskey and hunting.
That ought to do the trick.
Thanks for the tip.

You betcha.

For the ones who are loaded -- with money, not necessarily drugs or booze -- Herbert Hoover provided a sterling example:

Mr. Hoover's personal policy throughout his public career was to accept no compensation for any public service, though when he worked for the Government as Secretary of Commerce and President, he was required by law to accept a salary.

In an interview with Charles Scott, editor of the Iola (Kansas) Daily Register in January, 1937, Hoover explained:

"I made up my mind when I entered public life that I would not make it possible for anyone ever to say that I had sought public office for the money there was in it. I therefore kept the money that came to me as salary in a separate account and distributed it where I thought it would do the most good. Part of it went to supplement the salaries of men who worked under me and whom the government paid less than I thought they were worth. Part of it went to charities."

That's interesting about hoover, doc. thanks.

If they got paid by days they showed up for work, they'd be at the job more often I'd guess... but since not, well then... F%&^ it.

Lets see 18 less than Obama out of the thousands of votes cast in the senate is bad for McCain and good for Obama? Only you Docslobber could come up with one like that.

Nice. McCain leads Obama by 18 points in this poll I just came across:
