After the Senate broke a GOP filibuster on Don't Ask, Don't Tell earlier today, Sen. Joe Manchin released a statement saying he had concerns about the "timing" and "implementation" of a repeal.
But it seems he took even more issue with the timing of the vote itself, seeing as he skipped the vote altogether to attend a Christmas party.
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) told reporters at a press conference that Manchin said he had an out-of-town "family thing" and wouldn't make the votes, according to the Washington Post.
