Anderson Cooper gleefully reports on democratic junkets.
I wish Pelosi would put a complete stop to this practice. I am sorry but it does not pass the smell test when anyone charters a jet to the Caribbean in the winter time..

And I think our legislators have plenty to do in DC..if they want a vacation, let them pay for it ...

The thing is this.. Dems are now in control, and everything they do will be publicized and scrutinized to within a hair's breadth of reality, so they must be above reproach. Did republicans do it more and bigger? of course.. but the press gave them a pass..

We all know where the "press" stands , so anything done by a dem will be treated harsher..

stop it, please!

............................

Monday's show


Lawmakers taking trips to Key West, Mexico and the Virgin Islands all on your bill -- and all in the name of homeland security. Anderson Cooper is keeping them honest. Watch tonight, 10 ET

1. Yeah, all those vaunted changes re: junkets were watered down hard

And they have no one to blame but themselves if the press chews them out for it.
