Last week we noted incredulously that John McCain had missed 43 consecutive votes in the Senate (causing commentor JG to write, “You’re complaining?! Have you checked his voting record??”). That streak extended three more votes and sadly has now come to an end.
After 46 straight missed votes, encompassing six weeks, John McCain finally found time to push himself back from the money trough of constant fundraising and cast a vote on behalf of the citizens of Arizona. McCain voted in favor of exempting children of certain Filipino World War II veterans from the numerical limitations on immigrant visas. Just so you know.
And, oh yeah, our taxes pay that man’s salary. Which, it shouldn’t need to be said, he continued to collect even though he failed to fulfill his most important responsibility as a senator.
