Has former lefty pinup Hillary Clinton become the senator from Lockheed Martin? According to the senator’s travel-expense forms, unearthed by the Center for Public Integrity, the senator and her aides have taken free rides on a Lockheed-owned private plane at least five times since 2001. The Lockheed jet isn’t exactly Air Force One, but it certainly has saved time and airfare costs during the Armed Services Committee member’s successful efforts to get Lockheed defense contracts, notably a $1.7 billion, 750-job deal to build presidential helicopters up in Owego (population 3,911), near Binghamton.
Last year, Lockheed’s pac gave Clinton the maximum $5,000 donation, a first since Clinton became senator, but its generosity didn’t start there. In July 2004, Clinton and her personal aide, Huma Abedin, boarded a Lockheed jet at Dulles and zipped up to Troy for the day with the Italian ambassador to the U.S., Sergio Vento, for the first-ever New York State Little Italy Heritage Tourism Conference. After the full-day affair, Clinton zipped back down to Teterboro, New Jersey, on Lockheed’s jet. The trip, labeled on disclosure forms as a “speaking engagement,” was paid for by Lockheed, even though Senate ethics rules mandate that a primary sponsor of the event pony up.

No broom?
Clinton should reimburse for the value of the Lockheed free flights. This is unethical, and if she were a Republican, would be under investigation already.
Oh, in the name jobs, graft is okay, liberal style.
Madame Bitch will toss it off as doing it for the chil'run.
ncountylee, you sound like an uncouth youth. Don't you know that we elite liberals only heard of that dispicable lower class working tool from our maids, gardeners, cooks, drivers and other unmentionables. You lower level people are so fortunate to have us...that goes for me and Slick too.
Is this the culture of corruption Nancy Pelosi was talking about?
ping
Wonder if she took her maid on these flights. You remember she said she became friendly with her maid.
Do you think she allowed the flight crew to cast their eyes upon her?
Why would the GOP do anything about this? They have allowed her to perpetrate the biggest campaign finance fraud in history in 2000.
Huma Abedin, from earth??
ya know.... do a "google" search on that name.
very interesting...see how far back it goes into the Clinton, especially Hillary's past.
No photos? But a Saudi born, "special" assistant/staffer for the Queen...hmmmmmmm.
kinda interesting.
Thanks for the heads up, I didn't think to do that; perhaps a routine QC check? Again, thanks.
Hillary Clinton appears guilty of the Congressional sin of getting caught with her hand in the honey jar.
No. I think went with Janet and Nancy to their faborite watering hole.
Hillary will be an unmitigated disaster for the Dems if she gets the nomination. Can you say George McGovern in a jump suit.
Are there parallel defense contractors, one favored by Republicans and another the Democrats like?
There's a name I haven't heard in a while....
1996 is the first I can recall hearing about Abedin.
Hillary's plane is called 'Global Warming One'.
