It was "elective" surgery, he wanted to push back the vote out of spite. He could have voted then did the surgery. This is why we need u!
And he should have stayed in DC, where he could have been wheeled into the chambers like Robert Byrd, conforming to the highest standards of tradition with the Senate.
But no, he went and slinked off to Arizona. Now I ask you, if you just had cranial surgery would your doctor let you go onto an aircraft where the interior pressure altitude might have been 8,000 feet. How did he get to AZ and why permit it.
It all reeks to me that he wanted out of Dodge and now.
My money is that the Governor of AZ will soon be filling a Senate seat. Kelli Ward anyone?
