John Sidney McCain: M.I.A.

By GottaLaff

In case you hadn't heard, J Sid's been ignoring his day job:

How often has John McCain been away from the Senate? Well, let's put it this way: At this point, he has missed more votes than even South Dakota Democrat Tim Johnson, who couldn't work for almost a year after suffering a brain hemorrhage in late 2006.

I guess J Sid doesn't embarrass easily.

CQ Politics says he hasn't voted since April 8.

He's the absentest Senator in all of Senateland.

According to the Washington Post, McCain has missed 367 votes during the 110th Congress, 61.4 percent of those held. Johnson has missed 311 votes, 52 percent of the total.

To be fair, the presidential candidates had the worst records because of all the requisite and very time-consuming campaigning and cat fighting and such. But from what I heard on one of the talk shows today, J Sid wasn't busy with any of that on many of the days he missed. He just didn't show.

The Very Honorable Military Guy was M.I.A.
