I yield to no one in my loathing of Senator Kerry, but there's no hypocrisy here. The fact that he was sitting with other Senators for 40 minutes is irrelevant. He's got no governing responsibilities. Bush does. I disagree with the criticism of Bush for sitting still in that classroom, but it's a legitimate point for debate. To call Kerry a hypocrite for making that criticism while he did nothing himself for 40 minutes is just nonsense.
It's just his own utter hypocrisy.
I guess I get to promote by 'weblog' page on this, here. But it explains what I mean, essentially borrowed only from what others have said, and meant. It's a legitimate criticism of Kerry.
