Presidential Candidate and at-large Senator John Kerry urged President Bush to call Congress back into a special session. Presumably, he wants to go back to neglecting the job that Massachussets taxpayers pay him to do.

After President Bush announced that his administration will create a national intelligence director position to oversee the CIA and other intelligence-gathering agencies, as part of the recommendations made by the 9/11 commission, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry urged the president to call a special session of Congress to implement the recommendations.

Congress should return early from its summer recess so it can create "what strengthens America as rapidly as possible. It should happen now," Kerry said.

Kerry has missed more than 80% of the votes this year, after missing more than 64% of the votes last year. When Kerry's comrades were hard at work in Congress, he was busy campaigning. Now he's asking them to give up their vacations and campaign time, just so he can brush up his shoddy image.
