While I agree that a 5 day work-week is unrealistic considering the logistics involved in holding offices at home and in Washington, I can't agree with this statement. There's got to be a balance point somewhere between allowing them personal time, time to work locally, and getting their butts in their congrssional chairs to perform the duties for which they were elected. The last session of congress was tipped way too far towards the former two parts of that equation.
