at a time when he's widely being dispararaged for holding up legislation. It would also allow him to campaign without having to bother with his real job.

(4,605 posts)16. It was also just after he was publicly shouted down
with cries of "Moscow Mitch" at an event he was speaking at. So he might be having a diva snit fit, or "working at home" is a very convenient excuse to avoid similar confrontations with the public. I'm only sorry he didn't fall into the deepest and most fiery pit of Hell.
