Where has McCain been?

John McCain has spent the last 48 hours attacking Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for their votes against the war funding bill.  But is McCain really in a position to criticize someone else's vote on anything?  Until the Arizona Senator voted 'yea' on Thursday, he had not cast a single Senate floor vote in more than one month:

McCain returned to the Capitol on Thursday to cast his first floorvotes since April 12. He missed 46 in between. When a reporter askedwhy he chose Thursday to show up, McCain let loose --with a cheerysmile.

Obviously McCain is spending less time in Washington because of his "Straight Talk Express" tour across the country as he runs for president.  But not voting for an entire month?  Too bad for Arizona taxpayers that elected him.
