NEW YORK - In the various reports today, Howard Mills - the Republican running for U.S. Senate seat of Charles Schumer, scored a victory on substance in his effort to oust the senator.
In documents turned over to the the media, Mills reveals that on 603 seperate instances Schumer chartered private planes to take him - and all of it was on the tax-payer's dime. Schumer spent in excess of $409,000 in doing so - all from the public coffers.
In Illinois sources weighed in confirming that it is customary as well as financially responsible for Senator Peter Fitzgerald to fly commercially - and he always does. Sources were able to further confirm that neighboring senator Rick Santorum from Pennsylvania always flies coach class.
It's what they do.
Well Senator Clinton probably joins him and she requires the extra perk.
I keep tell 'em that they can't hide any more! Hehehehehe!
Whoa! Big scandal before the convention, does this guy have a chance against Schumer? Perhaps the DNC will have to deflect some resources to there now to save a seat rather than to Kerry who will no doubt lose anyway! Major event - What would Hugh Hewitt say?
So where does this go? Ethics charges?
Democrats claim they represent the little people, but they don't want to sit with them.
And exactly where does this knucklehead need to go that requires a charter flight? I hope they burn his ass.
I heard Hitlery and Schumer have a seaside estate in the Hampton's where they snuggle, sip cognac, and have wild orgies with gay prostitutes.
The seaside estate is paid for by FannieMac, the cognac is paid for by Americorps, and the gay whores are provided by Barney Frank.
It'd be sweet if Chuckie threw Mrs. Clinton under the bus by pointing out that she campaigned for the senate on the taxpayers dime.
Why did you post this under the Texas topic?
Good question! Whose in charge of ethics among them. When was the last time it was used because it was a Republican. When was the last time it was used against a RAT.
The clintons set major records for traveling on the taxpayer's dime. Clinton probably spent hundreds of millions over eight years flying around the world with over 1,500 friends and relations and reserving all the rooms in world-class hotels.
So the big question is, is it illegal or just unethical? If it is just unethical but legal than it is just standard hypocritical practice of liberal nitwits.
The Ethics Committee has been toothless against Democrats for many years.
You just nailed it.
That's because they were in charge for 40 years and got away with everything. They ran their own private club. Remember the check bouncing fiasco - for one thing?
Come now. We all know that this is all Bush's fault-- and he's from Texas.
While college shopping? More than just college shopping -- forever after!
How about every vacation (was the kid ever actually in class?) and afterwards while she was in London. And what about the time that they sent AF1 back to CA to bring her books to Bermuda because she forgot them (this was during the Monica episode when Chels was required to attend her mother and father every minute in order to keep them from killing each other!)
What about traipsing her and her friends off to the Olympics in Sidney and hour tours of China, Africa, SE Asia, and the Middle East? All of them with several friends to keep her company.
They took 800 people to China and 800 people to Africa with them. Have you ever heard of diplomacy conducted with such a huge entourage? This reminds me of Cleopatra visiting Ceasar in Rome!
ROFL, I forgot for a moment.
