Dems Junkets on the taxpayer dime?

[Undertoad]

I'm happy to let the the Cellar dwellers scroll this thread and decide for themselves.

This is a fair way out of any thread and I have gone this way many times myself.

My own final answer: the whole thing exposes Pelosi for what she is, but doesn't reflect on other Democrats or the Party in general. It's not particularly scandalous, all things considered, but it tells you that Pelosi figures that she is an elite, entitled to this sort of thing. If she cared, she wouldn't do it. Contrast Biden, who proudly pointed to his use of Amtrak for commuting as a Senator.

Ds should not grant her an automatic pass on this one, but not spend too much time on it either.

Thats a pretty good summation of how I feel about it as well. However, I did not like Pelosi to begin with and this is just a little more fuel on the fire.

BTW - It was nice that her husband could join her.
