Henry Waxman says on the video that it was cold at the global warming conference and basically he didn’t have any fun.

Indeed.

The democrats hate it when the taxpayers find out how much of our money they are wasting.

Problem was not that they went to Copenhagen. Problem is that they came back....

So, they are getting along on so little — must be why they ALL voted themselves $10,000 raises recently! Talk about poverty! Let’s look at the House and Senate.

Understand your point! But they being RATS, their charges couldn’t exceed the National Debt because You know the RATS would charge every dollar they paid the Prostitutes/Hookers to the Government, hence increasing the National Debte accordingly! Nevertheless, We must be thankful to the DANES for providing the FREE HOOKERS to entertain Our Perverted DEMORAT SEX FEINDS and SAVE Our AMERICA extensive Expense Charges for Depraved Sexual Acts!! Its also nice the DANES were able to provide the FREE BODY HEAT given the RECORD FRIGID WEATHER that Embalmed the Global Warming Conference!
