Me too. Mark Levin mentioned that this is a private military flight. What an abuse of the system. Not to mention what an abuse of our Military.
Unfortunately he is my Senator, too. The Buckeye State has joined the United Socialist States of Obamastan.
Like they couldn't put her on ice for a day or two?
Of course it’s Ohio.
Ohio went for Bush in 2004.
Payback.
They are reporting that he skipped the 2nd. set of calling hours and skedaddled to DC.
Here's the story:
Sen. Brown Needed in Washington
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown was not able to attend both sets of calling hours for his mother Emily Brown's memorial service Friday. Brown, Ohio's junior senator and a Democrat, flew back to Washington D.C. courtesy of a plane arranged by the White House, to vote on final passage of President Barack Obama's $789 billion economic stimulus package. Brown's vote was expected to be essential to obtain the 60 votes needed to stop further debate of the legislation and send it on for the President's signature.

So if everybody's there, why hasn't the Senate voted?
What is the weather like right now between Ohio and Washington?
I'm about 20 miles from the airport and it's 29 degrees with no wind and no snow yet.
Mansfield Ohio where Brown’s mother lives says snow late tonight. I would imagine he has left Ohio.
The mourning service was scheduled to go until 8pm in Ohio.
Guess that is why they are saying he should arrive at 10:30
Notice how C-Span says “Awaiting Expected “YES” vote From Sen Brown.
If only this were a Tom Clancy novel.....
You can bet the White House WILL NOT let the MSM show the arrival of this 60th vote. They don’t want us to see the jet and who actually had to drag him back.
This guy will be lauded by Hussein for sacrificing, on the eve of his mother's funeral, his time and effort to "put America first." Watch.
Brown's as much of a left wing nut as you could imagine. I wanted to puke when he beat DeWine, and I really disliked Mike for the RINO he is.
Really sad thing is that with Voinovich saying he's not going to run again, that will make Brown the senior Senator from Ohio ... GAG.
I’m sure looney sherri made all you “conservative” buckeyes who “just couldn’t vote Republican” very proud.
