Mark Kennedy’s Voting Record: Not as good as he says…

One of Makeover Mark Kennedy’s favorite things to brag about is his voting record in the House:

I was one of 9 of 435 that didn’t miss a vote last year.  I’ve worked very hard to make sure I continue to represent my constituents. [MPR Midday, 3/2/06]

But it seems as though he’s fallen asleep at the reins this year. A quick look at Congress.org’s attendance record shows that Makeover Mark is tied for dead last among the Minnesota delegation!  He ranks 326 out of 435 (number 1 has the best record) and that’s even counting the Speaker (who doesn’t vote).  I know that he’s been busy losing a Senate race, but come on Mark, you still have a job for a little while longer, the least you could do is show up to it.
