too late for many lawmakers and their staff members to get home in time for the holiday.

Another slap in the face of real, hardworking Americans who have worked holidays all their lives.

Another example of how it's all about them. But they'll hide behind the excuse that their staffers are the real reason they're doing it.

Well shoot, most of their staff drive to work..so what’s the big deal of them having to work on Christmas. Nurses, Drs, maintenance workers, aircraft crews, military personnel work on Christmas, so what’s the big deal of our elected royals missing Christmas? They can celebrate it early or late like a lot of Americans do. Are the military in Afphaganistan not on duty Christmas day, the military in the Phillipines, Iraq and wherever they’re stationed? BUT the elected royals MUST have that day off. PHFFFT!

I don’t give a rat’s a$$ if they get home in time. Do the work hold up the bill. Pansy a$$.

Amen, and that’s the truth! I have been called in to do open heart surgery on Christmas day and that is just one example over the years.

These people have no idea what it means to work for a living, take call, care for people, make sacrifices and do your job with honor. They are actors, not professionals.

my mom was a nurse. she volunteered (after lunch) to work on Christmas so others with children could be with there families. i also worked on Christmas all through college. these politicians are about as worthless and gutless as you can find.
