UPDATE: Congress Under-worked?

OK.... My suggestion in a previous post that Sen. Durbin was being partisan in his criticism of the 109th Congress' work schedule is completely overshadowed by this remark from Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.).

In a Washington Post article regarding the new Democratic majority's plan to work many more days in the upcoming Congress, Rep. Kingston opines that, "Keeping us here eats away at families. Marriages suffer. The Democrats could care less about families -- that's what this says." I think I'll leave it to you to assess the relative absurdity of that statement.
