My rep who lives 40 minutes from DC did not show up to vote either. He is a deathocrat who is mulling the race for Senator in MD in 2006, and would not want to have this vote on his record. Despicable!
There are innumerable despicable characters in this continuing saga..starting with Michael Schiavo. And, as an Italian-American, his name is pronounced Ski-avo regardless of his requested mispronunciation. Once again, he is wrong.
