J. F. Kerry - AWOL

From a link by Instapundit to an article in the Boston Herald regarding John F. Kerry's stellar attendence record in the US Senate. bq. Presidential hopeful John F. Kerry has been a virtual no-show in the U.S. Senate over the past 14 months, but he hasn't missed a paycheck, even though a dusty federal law says some of his $158,000 salary should have been withheld. bq. During his run for the presidency, Kerry has missed every one of the 22 roll call votes in the Senate this year and was absent for 292, or 64 percent of the roll call votes last year, according to a Herald review of Senate records. This is his job right? I can see missing a couple of votes but every one this year and well over half of last year? Posted by DaveH at March 2, 2004 8:10 AM
