From the Arizona Republic:

Kerry ranks second in the Senate in all-time missed vote percentage. Only Zell Miller of Georgia has skipped a greater proportion of his votes than Kerry. Edwards is third and Lieberman is fourth. For this they get taxpayer money?

When you think about the fact that Lieberman was a vice-presidential candidate last time out and a presidential candidate this time, it's impressive that Kerry could surpass him in this statistic of lameness.
