Private flights back and forth...that's close to $10K...putting him up in a lux suite somewhere plus whining/dining adds up. FOX or any other network isn't going to make him take a coach flight, they send corporate jets to get these busy people at their convenience. This is nothing new. An aide or his wife may have accompanied him too so that increases the cost.
I guarantee if Delay went on commie-news-network that they'd have to pick up a similiar tab.
And that makes it right how again? I am sick and tired of the Republican argument being 'well the other side would do it too'. Conservatives should strive to hold themselves to a higher standard. Of course there are few conservatives in the Republican party so this is about what I'd expect.
