Why are we chartering planes for any of them? Why can’t they fly commercial?

Every day we get signs that Washington DC needs to be turned into a museum of what was, and will never be again.

yet he travels home almost exclusively via private charter plane at $4,400 per trip and sends the bill to taxpayers.

And why would the US government pay for such private travel? Or, what sort of self-serving laws did the scoundrels pass to allow such excess at taxpayer expense?

I lived in WV while he was governor. I remember hearing tales that he never carried cash and that his staff paid for everything, often without being reimbursed by the governor. He was widely known as a tightwad.

Rich people who are tightwads are the worst.

I read that EMK was like “Jay” too. But people were prepared to foot EMK’s bill just so they could be near “royalty.” The American people are truly foolish and so shall remain.

The self-same idiot senator who claimed not long ago that some people who are against Obama are racist and only dislike him because he's black.
Notice this coward waited until he was retiring before he made this slander about his constituents. This punk knew he could never be re-elected and he ain't happy about it.
He has been one of the worst senators in Washington, along with his ex-pal Ed Kennedy.

Still another reason to move “our” Sens and Reps home and let them conduct business via internet.

Like most millionaire Donkey liberals, Sen. Jay Rockefeller is one cheap SOB. Liberals like him are all about spending other people’s money.
