Hillary's Private Flights

It sure is good to have friends in high places when it comes to the Clintons. It would be crazy to think that Hillary would stoop to riding First Class on a regular airplane.
Sen. Clinton, who complained about corporate America's largesse and
skyrocketing executive pay during campaign events Wednesday, said she did not
believe her message was undermined by her acceptance of the private flights. In
line with Senate rules then in effect, Clinton's campaign has said she
reimbursed Gupta at the cost of a first-class flight, typically a significant
discount off the expense of a private jet.

Sounds like something the Senate would be cool with. Upgrade to First Class and get a free bump up to private corporate jet. I wonder why people think that politicians can't see eye to eye with the working man? I wonder if Obama or Rudy are getting these perks as well?
