What a little punk! First there's his own Senate attendance record, then there's his apparent attitude that people are too stupid to pick up on the irony (dishonesty, demagoguery, take your pick) of his statement. The President may be out campaigning, but he's always the President wherever he is and whatever he's doing. God forbid the likes of Kerry and Edwards will ever have first-hand experience of a President's workday.
Oh I'm sure they'd love it if Bush/Cheney weren't out campaigning. How ridiculous - of course they aren't in Washington acting as though there is no election near. Sadly, there are people too stupid to see the irony/ridiculousness of Edwards' comment. What a travesty if Kerry and his ambulance-chasing buddy get there.
