Congressional Outrage at Air Travel

ABC World News Tonight just had a piece which demonstrates the utter hypocrisy of those congressmen who were lambasting auto and bank executives for using corporate jets, when those same congressman routinely travel on military executive jets or, if they fly on the airlines, fly first class. Including the douchebag of a congressman who made such a big stink about the auto execs flying their own jets, who had the balls to try and deny he made such a trip.

I'll post the video when ABC News makes it available.

UPDATE: The DEA chartered a jet to fly its administrator, Michele Leonhart, to Columbia rather than borrowing a jet from another Federal agency. Even though the DEA itself has over 100 airplanes.

UPDATE II: You have to go to ABC's website to view the story. Unlike more forward-thinking news outlets, like NBC, ABC doesn't seem to allow embedding video.
