As Michael Moore points out in his highly regarded new documentary, the Smirking Chimp has spent almost 40% of his term on vacation. God knows how much he drank or how much cocaine he snorted during that time.

Evidently senators have to be physically present for votes. Staff work at a distance is nice but voting is perhaps the key function of a senator. That's where Kerry has fallen down. I doubt that votes on actual measures (versus routine procedural matters) come up unexpectedly. They are scheduled. I daresay that he could have made himself available to vote if he wanted to. He certainly had the personal resources to do so. Why do you think he didn't? btw, do you remember that Bob Dole quit the Senate during his run precisely so that his constituents would not be cheated by his absence?
