Will Senator Rockefeller honor pro-mountain environmentalist Maria Gunnoe?

Rocky will give Gunnoe her due.....I hope (4.00 / 1)

It would be a shame if our long-time junior senator chooses to shun Maria.  He is in deep trouble over the torture issue right now and he's probably scrambling around trying to divert attention away from that so he's in the perfect situation to give Maria her due repect thus divert attention away from his erroneous ways.....makes sense to me.

Jay (4.00 / 1)

has not made any roll call votes since the #154 on 2APR around noon up to today's #173 around 5:30PM on the Budget Resolution, that passed the House today: S. Con. Res. 13 as Amended

They recessed for two weeks, but Sen. Rockefeller and Sen. Kennedy have missed every vote since. I cannot find anything but his keynote at STaR (Science, Technology and Research Symposium) on April 14-15, 2009, in Charleston. He submitted a statement for the record about the Bayer plant incident to the House Energy Oversight Sub-committee chaired by Rep. Stupak at their hearing on 21APR. I remember when he had back problems it was public about his stay at John Hopkins after he came back.  

But not me personally were those cheers for (1-6-7-5-2-8-3-4)--Sarah Palin

knee surgery (0.00 / 0)

I don't know what the typical recovery time is for emergency knee surgery (for torn tendon above knee). Tomorrow will be two weeks since the surgery.

My guess is if there was any vote he was really needed on the floor for he could be there, otherwise he's got a bit of convalescence and a lot of intensive physical therapy to finish up. (That's just a guess.)

these NVs came to mind (4.00 / 1)

when I saw Ed Schutlz interview Sen. Durbin on the cram down. Rep. Tauscher had already gotten it watered down in the House. I saw it will not survive the filly-buster in the Senate.

My and my boss's mom have both been through this. It is tough, one even said tougher than the hip replacement. Bionic mom!

Patella tendon surgery requires long recovery time (4.00 / 1)

I had this type of surgery about five years ago and remember it was tough going for the first five weeks, after that it's basically physical therapy to get yur muscle tone back in your legs.  I think that explains his absence.

i asked the google monkeys (0.00 / 0)

but could not find anything
knee capped--tonya harding is not around?

i got worried when i saw both Kennedy and Rockefeller BOTH on the NV list all month
Sen. Byrd comes in in his wheel chair for roll call votes, and if you watch CSPAN2 you can pick out Jay due to his height.

I remember catching Sen. Murkowski in a wheel chair for a vote before her office announced her skiing accident. That had something to do a 300 ft fall! She is very lucky there were no Bono rocks or trees in the ways

HAPPY MAY DAY!
