Didn't a former GOP governor get in trouble for that because she wanted to get home to her kids in Western Mass?

It's called the "Massachusian Swift Method".

And was perfected by a RINO.

Its ok for Dems to do it. Our governer here in NC used state helicopters to fly him to his beach house.

Considering the episode of his nephew, JFK Jr., the Senator should consider avoiding aircraft alltogether.

Should also avoid driving vehicles over bridges.

The liberal media chewed on that for weeks!

Currently 94% yes, reimburse.

A bumpy helo ride would ensure his martinis would be well shaken.

He's soooo concerned about our troops getting the equipment they need I'd think he'd donate the price of the copter trip to our troops so they can buy more armor.

I'm a Mass resident and also a smoker.

I would be more than happy to have the taxes on cigarettes raised AGAIN to make our senior senator happy.Nothing is too good for Ted and his time is very valuable.

(sarcasm off)

Yes 94%
No 6%

They left out my take.
Should Ted have bailed out of the copter like he did the Oldsmobile?

Let's ask John Sununu. Maybe Ted even spoke about his helicopter ride in the eighties.
