So, apparently, Tuesdays is the day of the Republican caucus (or some such thing) in the Senate, where Mr. Burns -- uh, I mean VP Cheney -- meets with the Republicans to -- well, I don't know what they do, but I guess they go over their strategery.
So, why Mr. Burns would find it surprising that he never ran into Senator Edwards at a Republican Strategery session, I am at a loss. To suggest that Mr. Burns was not trying to leave the impression that Senator Edwards is never on the job, and Burns should know because he's there every Tuesday is disingenuous at best, and affirmatively misleading at worst.
(And talk about not being on the job -- Bush has been on vacation some huge number of days over the last almost-four years. I'm trying to find a cite, but I can't right now -- I'll edit later.)
