Warren Ducks Cameras As She Gets Off Private Jet
Powerline ^ | February 5, 2020 | Paul Mirengoff

It’s a ritual. After the Iowa caucuses, those with a “ticket out,” and those who just want to prolong the agony, fly to New Hampshire to campaign. Elizabeth Warren, who has half a ticket out, followed this practice.

She did so by private jet. Nothing wrong with that. There are probably few, if any, direct commercial flights from anywhere in Iowa to anywhere in New Hampshire. Anyway, after an exhausting Iowa campaign and a late night of waiting for results that didn’t come, why not fly privately if you can afford to?

However, Warren supports the Green New Deal. It calls for reductions in air travel, and for working towards eliminating such travel, because of the adverse effects jets have on the environment.

She did a pretty good job staying in sync behind that gal. Its as if she’s used to hiding.

All of these dems should use their solar and wind power to get where they are going.

Most politicians will run over their grandmother to get in front of a camera.

This was the hilarious exception—squaw got scalped in a sneak attack!

Hiding behind the staffer is worse than hypocrisy. She could have actually explained away the private jet travel for many reasons - impeachment work, Iowa late returns, having to shuttle to DC for SOTU, etc. All good reasons, and one that can withstand scrutiny, her Green New deal notwithstanding. Frankly, her schedule for the last 4-5 days was brutal , more so than even most CEOs, and private jet travel was justified.

But hiding behind the staffer is a guilty move.

She ought to just answer truthfully (something foreign to Lieawatha), “I’m too important to have to follow my own rules!”

That’s a heap good Indian trick, dodging the cameras that way.

BTW, where was she coming from, a wine cellar?

Where was she going to, another wine cellar?

I once wrote Leona. I can’t remember why or anything about it.

She ...or her assistant signing her name.. wrote me back.

One day, I will have to search around for that letter.

Once she saw the camera she ducked in behind the aide.

No. Anderson Cooper’s mom was fashion designer Gloria Vanderbilt, who actually produced quality clothing to fit real women, not anorexic models. I have several of her slacks.
Leona Helmsley was the hotel heiress who loved her poodle more than people and got busted for tax evasion.

This I don't get.

You're running for POTUS. People know you need to jet. As a DEM you're automatically forgiven.

Could it be something else ??? (Tinfoil Adorned).

Everyone else is off to NH.

Just what is SHE doing there ?? Playing Let's Make a Deal ??
