OOPS!

From FNC's John Gibson on the subject...

Okay, I've got to ask: Was she having an affair with this guy?

It was simply a head to head flight.

This thread is worthless without pics.

I have no clue. But the trip still stinks.

Nah. Thomson was 'counseling' her. /hillary

It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.

Every morning on the radio I hear her tell me what a great place Michigan is to start a business. Clearly not a very honest person.

Innocent!

Hey, cut her some slack. She's just reading a scrip from the MEDC. Michigan State Government is the one that's lying.

Changing "Reuters" to "Rooters" is cute but possibly not the best idea.

100% Not Guilty.

I mean, just look at her :)

John Gibson on FNC said it best when he pointed out that a commercial flight would have cost the Money Honey approximately $3900 bucks.

Her executive trip courtesy of her now unemployed air chauffeur from Citigroup cost right around $100,000.

Todd Thomson might think it's worth 100 grand, but NO 'stuff' is EVER worth THAT much money.

Clearly not a very smart person, either. I went to a "Jeopardy" taping here in Washington a couple of years ago where she was one of the "celebrity" contestants, and she was an absolute idiot - didn't get one question right on the few occasions when she even managed to ring in.

You got that right. Michigan seems to be on a jihad against business, Mr. Ayatollah. Socialists in the state greatly outnumber businesses.

I read this somewhere yesterday, but can't recall where....

Back when Jack Reed was running Citibank, he had an affair with one of the flight attendants on the corporate jet. The joke on Wall Street then was that the following was the landing announcement on the Citicorp jet...

"We are starting our descent. Please return your seats, trays, and stewardessess to the UPRIGHT position.."

I've heard that Fox is trying to hire Maria away from CNBC to head up the planned Fox Business Channel. Someone should let Gibson in on this.
