As of today, McTurtle has not been seen in 24 days and Kean has been gone for an amazing 115 days!
Are they in hiding out in Galts Gulch, waiting for the rest of us to fail at running the country so we will beg them to come back? Anyone have any inside info, or just want to make a guess? My guesses are fall and serious brain injury for McTurtle, and rehab or God knows what for Kean.
Should their constituents demand proof of life?

(3,587 posts)missing from the Senate and the House for that long with absolutely no word on their conditions or whereabouts. It would be all over every form of media with the talking heads screeching about it 24/7 for weeks. "What are they hiding?" "Why won't they tell us anything?: "The American people have a right to know!"
And because they have the R after their names, crickets.

(12,732 posts)Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., plans to return to Capitol Hill on June 30 after missing more than 100 votes during a nearly four-month absence from Washington.
His chief of staff, Dan Scharfenberger, confirmed to NBC News on Thursday the date of Keans planned return. The New Jersey Globe first reported the news.
Keans office previously said that the congressmans absence was due to a personal medical issue but has not disclosed any further details on his condition.
Kean last voted in the Capitol on March 5, but his office has kept active on social media while hes stayed out of the public eye.

(43,861 posts)who had gone to the protests at his offices that they were given snarky responses by his staff. I didn't go to these particular protests, but I know they went on for quite some time.
This kind of treatment of citizens disgusts me. Who does his staff think is bankrolling their salaries?

(852 posts)They are showing complete disregard for their constituents. Anything more than a month is too long. Longer than that and they need to resign.

(15,785 posts)but then I recall a guy I knew. He said he fucked over 5,000 people of both sexes. He said he's stand on a corner in Georgetown and ask passersby, "Ya wanna fuck?" That was in the pre-Aids '70's. Maybe in reality is was 2 or 3 thousand but I believe it possibly did happen
SO ----
Maybe Kean actually did find somebody who was willing to fuck him.
