Gramm-pa McCain sure has a funny way of showing how much he cares about his country:
One of the Senate's longest-running streaks hit 115 today.Ooo! Ooo! I know! Call on me! Ahem: The streak is about the 115 times that Gramm-pa said, "You don't understand!"
No? That's not it?
After returning to Washington early this morning, ostensibly to help with congressional negotiations on bailout legislation, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) missed a pair of votes on a massive spending bill that keeps the federal government running for the next five months.
Gramm-pa doesn't understand.
In missing today's votes, McCain passed up the opportunity to critique a bill that -- as he said in last night's debate -- has more than 2,200 special spending provisions known as earmarks, most of which have never seen the light of day until the legislation was released late this week.
So that makes him a-- D'oh, what's that word again? Oh yeah-- hypocrite?
McCain, who has not voted since April 8, has now missed five-and-a-half months of roll calls in the Senate, during which 115 votes have been held.
According to a database created by washingtonpost.com, McCain has missed more than 64 percent of his votes in the 110th Congress, more than any other senator.
Obama's attendance record hasn't exactly been stellar either. But Grammps takes the cake.
