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?

(3,495 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.

(12,709 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.

(847 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.
