Having a (D) after your name. Less of that unwanted “bad media” when you need it.
Louisiana U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu took nine charter flights — costing taxpayers nearly $15,000 — that coincided with campaign events where she raised over $130,000, in possible violation of federal law.
The nine flights are in addition to several others that were discovered last month.
On Friday, the Republican National Committee released records of the flights, which Landrieu expensed to her Senate office — and ultimately to taxpayers — between 2000 and 2008.
All of the flights coincided with fundraisers she held in Louisiana.
Who does she think she is, President Obama? He’s the only one who can force taxpayers to cover his campaign travel.
I really, REALLY, hope that a lot of pond-scum like Landrieu get the boot from congress. I don’t really care about official party affiliation, because they all have (K) kleptocrat, (S) statist or (T) thief after their name in a white font.
