Democrat National Committee (DNC) chairman Terry McAuliffe today said that presidential candidates John F. Kerry and John Edwards have gone AWOL from the Senate, missing almost every Senate vote in the past three months, and perhaps longer. (2/5/04)
Al Kamen, today, in the Washington Post:
Seems staff for Democratic front-runner Sen. John F. Kerry (Mass.), ranking Democrat on the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, created quite a fuss by demanding that a Meredith Broadcasting TV crew be thrown out of a hearing in which Small Business Administrator Hector V. Barreto came to testify on the president’s budget. . . .
So why all the static from Kerry’s committee staff? Was this to prevent video footage of Kerry gone AWOL?
Once again, Scrappleface’s Scott Ott is writing the lines. Kerry’s just living them.
