From the Appleton Post Crescent.
Second, a couple of questions on the missing deserter Steve Kagen
Wasn't Steve Kagen sworn in on Tuesday? Isn't congress in session? Are we not in a economic crises? Didn't Steve Kagen say he and congress has to fix the economy right away. Why didn't he schedule his knee surgery in December when congress was not in session? Why did Steve Kagen pick Wednesday? Didn't he promise to perform his job and duties for the people of the 8th District of Wisconsin? What if an important bill comes before congress and Steve Kagen is AWOL!
Where is Steve Kagen?
Steve Kagen is a coward for having his surgery a day after congress reconvened. Steve Kagen is staying away from important votes. He knows it! Great PR move. No matter how bad the economy gets, Steve Kagen can say he was out for surgery and couldn't vote. It's not his fault. How convenient!
It's not heart surgery. He didn't have a stroke. It's knee surgery and he should of had it done before the 111th Congress started work. Remember he pays for his own medical care. He could get any doctor any where and have surgery anytime. So now he won't be back for 10 to 14 days?
Where is Steve Kagen?
Steve Kagen is a deserter with a yellow streak. Where is the Wisconsin Press on this?
Did anyone in the MSM ask him why he chose Wednesday for surgery? Did anyone on the MSM figure this out.
If this was a republican, the press would of been all over this. Front Page headlines, "topping our news tonight"! But alas, it a democrat and they all get passes!
Here you can read the rest from Ellyn about the missing Steve Kagen.

Here you can read the rest from Ellyn about the missing Steve Kagen.
Kagen spokesman Jake Rubin said Kagen, D-Appleton, was doing fine after Wednesday's laparoscopic procedure to repair torn cartilage in his right knee.
Prior to surgery, Kagen joked that he'd be back on his feet sooner than the usual 10 to 14 days.
Good thing Kagen didn't bet with his surgeon.
The House approved legislation Friday that would change the statute of limitations governing when a worker can sue for wage discrimination and eliminate limits on compensatory and punitive damages in successful wage discrimination lawsuits.
Employers also would have to show that pay differences between men and women doing the same job were not the result of discriminatory practices. The two bills are built around Lilly Ledbetter, an Alabama woman who lost a Supreme Court fight over discriminatory pay because she had discovered the discrepancy 20 years after it started.
When the House voted on the bills in 2007 and 2008, Kagen voted for both.
Business groups and Republican allies say if the bills become law employers will be subjected to costly frivolous lawsuits.
The bills go to the Senate where GOP opposition blocked them in 2008. This year supporters hope the larger Democratic majority will overcome opposition.
