Shuler's blog has not been updated since he helped fund the occupation of Iraq.

UPDATE!!! (June 5, 2007 @ 18:00 EST): Shuler updated his blog this evening, but has chosen to talk about Pfc. Charles George... a young man who died in Korea in 1952.

Very disappointing.

Congressman Heath Shuler hasn't updated his blog in over 13 days.

This is the longest he's gone without a post since he started blogging... and I'm starting to get worried about him.

Is the good Congressman okay?

What could possibly be keeping him from writing about why he voted to continue funding the occupation of Iraq without timetables or accountability? (HR 2206)

I want answers! Especially since just about every thinking mammal in NC District 11 was expecting some kind of benchmark; to witness Democrats like Shuler surrender over the issue came as a shock.

I'm not alone in my anticipation for an answer. Every Democratic/Progressive WNC blogger I've read over the past few weeks is looking forward to an explanation from Shuler as to why the Democratic party refused to hold the executive branch accountable for it's actions.

It's doubtful the Congressman is avoiding controversy. In the past, he's met his critics head-on; for example, when Shuler voted against stem cell research funding he promptly posted his reasons why on his blog.

My guess for the extended absence is that, unlike the stem-cell funding, his support for HR 2206 may well be racking his soul with guilt.

Hey, it's possible!

Unlike his his predesessor, Shuler has a soul to lose. I'm not being sarcastic when I say he's a good man... and as such, it may be difficult for him to come to grips about what he did.
