You're making a gross generalization not backed by reality Republicans have in fact walked out on votes in protest many times over similar contempt charges.

A quick Google and it looks like they did it several times in 2008 alone, choosing partisan politics instead of representing their constituents as they were elected to do.

Shameful.

People have been saying this has been a witch hunt and if the CNN piece rings true that might just be the case.

As for scurrying off, that also is not backed by facts. I had to get some work done, sweat a little (nobody saw me) and get my older son from camp. It was a lucid experience if anything...not at all a scurry.
