Unintended consequences

Normally I might say this was dereliction of duty, but in this case it seems like a blessing in disguise that Michele Bachmann hasn't voted in the Congress since early August. In fact she's only "voted 54% of the time since announcing her presidential bid June 13 -- missing 150 votes..."

Which makes me a bit sad that her campaign is heading for an early crash and burn. Anything that keeps her off the floor can only be a good thing.
