Kerry Abstains on Medicare
Choice. Just choice.
Kerry, who was allowed by the DNC to appear in the debate last night via satellite hookup because he needed to be in D.C. to vote on the Medicare bill
did not vote on the Medicare bill.
He and Lieberman both abstained. Wha? Huh? Did he forget what he was in town for?
Sigh.
Once again, my deep well of cynicism is ever renewed.

I look forward to the ad:
"John Kerry: The Courage to Abstain from Important Votes"
I believe Kerry was in Washington to filibuster the bill, if need be, not necessarily to vote on it either way. A dubious distinction, but a distinction nonetheless. At least, I think that was the case.
