It Makes a Difference to the Sheep

THIS REALLY BOTHERS ME. Best of the Web notes that the DC vouchers bill that passed the House by one vote would not have passed had Dick Gephardt and Dennis Kucinich been present to vote (presumably) against the bill. Where were they? The Democratic debate in Baltimore. I am agnostic on vouchers; I see some benefits and some drawbacks. I am not agnostic on the idea that if you are going to waste your time running for president, do not do it while you are ostensibly representing your constituents in Congress. Have the grace, dignity and integrity to resign and let someone who wants to actually do his or her job take up the post.
