Kay keeps missing Senate votes.

Kay has been getting flack this year for missing major votes (link). I just looked through my monocle at the computer screen and found that she missed MORE VOTES this week. What's the deal?

On Monday, she missed a few votes (link). List follows:

Question: On the Amendment (Enzi Amdt. No. 668 )
To prohibit the use of funds to modify certain HIV/AIDS funding formulas.

Everyone has AIDS!

Question: On the Amendment (Kyl Amdt. No. 631 )
To require the Secretary of State to certify that funds made available for reconstruction efforts in Gaza will not be diverted to Hamas or entities controlled by Hamas.
Hey, something dealing with Hillary! Kay will be with Hill later this month. I guess Kay was just avoiding an awkward situation there.

Question: On the Amendment (Kyl Amdt. No. 630 )
To require a report on counter-smuggling efforts in Gaza.


Question:
On the Amendment (McCain Amdt. No. 593 )
To prohibit the use of funds provided in the bill.
This one was actually a sort of up-or-down vote on the new Omnibus spending bill. And she missed it.

Kay, what's the deal with all of these missed votes?

Hey now, campaign characters. Be nice. I know a lot of you on both sides, so I don't want any overly foul language, personal attacks on anyone other than the candidates themselves, or other party fouls. I will moderate the heck out of you if you start breaking the bounds of civility.
