Who are your Milk Carton Politicians?

[cwo_ghwebb]

I noted that New Hampshire’s media had taken notice that their Congressional delegation had gone missing during the August recess, rather than hold town-hall meetings to face their constituents about the health-care reform package. I joked that they had put Paul Hodes, Carol Shea-Porter, and Jean Shaheen on milk cartons, a reference to the admirable effort of milk producers to help find missing children.

It seems to me that we need to start a list of Milk Carton Politicians — members of the House and Senate who go MIA when they should be meeting with their constituents to hear their concerns over the health-care overhaul, cap-and-trade, the failure of the stimulus package, and the exploding federal deficit. Who else belongs on a milk carton? Be sure to list them in the comments or send us e-mails so that we can ask the national media to find these lost souls.

Here’s what we have so far:

• Rep. Ike Skelton (D-MO)
• Rep. Paul Hodes (D-NH)
• Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH)
• Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO)
• Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA)
• Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)
• Sen. Al Franken (D-MN)

I listed just a few. The entire list of scofflaws listed at the link. It's easy to see who thinks they're above meeting with their employers.

Here's 3 that can stay missing!

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA)
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)
Sen. Al Franken (D-MN)

Take Pelosi with them.
