McCain Abstains From Woodstock Museum Vote

John McCain attacked Hillary Clinton for a $1 million earmark for the Woodstock museum. He wanted to do some hippie-bashing to help his sagging poll and fundraising numbers. Turns out McCain didn't bother to show up to vote against the the bill the earmark was placed in. Nor did he attempt to take the Woodstock earmark out of the bill. Tom Coburn was the Senator that issued an amendment to take the language out.

The moral of the story is a horrible political candidate will resort to attacking a candidate in the other party's primary election to get some attention. He never intended to actually do anything about the Woodstock earmark. That was never the point. Grandstanding is a specialty for a man whose only base is the media that used to be in awe of him.
