John McCain Blasts Himself For Absymal Attendance In The Senate

If we were in an alternate universe and hypocrisy were a way of confessing to your own flaws, then McCain would have come clean yesterday about being the #1 Senator for not showing up to vote on Senate business. Of course we live on planet Earth, so McCain was just being a massive hypocrite when he criticized Congress for taking July 4th off.

From ThinkProgress:

McCAIN: 80-some percent of the American people think the country’s on the wrong track. Approval ratings of Congress — I saw one poll, 12 percent, the lowest in 40 years they’ve been taking these polls.

And meanwhile, what’s the answer? Go out on a Fourth of July recess without passing a housing bill.

I mean, look, Americans are fed up, and I understand it.

You understand that Americans are fed up? Or do you understand that maybe you have a chance to win votes by pretending to sympathize with Americans who actually go out to their jobs and work. "Pretend" is definitely the word here, because you hardly ever show up for work, including when you missed crucial votes on the.....wait for it........Housing bill.
