You KNOW that if an emergency happened, Bernie would stay there to help folks out.

Here's Fox's Greta Van Susteren and how her network's blog covered this drummed up "controversy" this Monday: Off The Record: Greta Takes On the First Family's Lavish Spending:
~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess Van Susteren thinks the first lady should be flying coach. I want to know if any of these wingers ever complained about the costs when George W. Bush was in office if any of his family members dared to travel without him. I'm guessing the answer is never. I also think Van Susteran has been spending a little too much time around Sarah Palin, because her commentary above sounds like something the word-salad queen could have written for her.


I mean, DU used to recognize this kind of crap for what it is.

Helping Sanders not at all, but the GOP thanks them!

"Why can't everyone be as poor as me" is not an effective campaign slogan....as effective as feeling some burning.

He spends his donors money wisely. He's not frivolous.

Only the greedy, Wall St. Types and Corporatists look at that as "not Presidential." That's a bunch of hooey! The 99% GETS IT.

The hedonistic 80's are OVER. Greed is back to being what it should be - UGLY.

It's time for greatness -- not for greed. It's a time for idealism -- not ideology. It is a time not just for compassionate words, but compassionate action.

— Marian Wright Edelman

Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's needs, but not every man's greed. - Mahatma Gandhi

Who happens to be a U.S. Senator, taking a regular plane, flying in coach to arrive at a location.

Amazing how that works! This guy should be the next POTUS!

Ya know there are probably better ways to travel.

EXCLUSIVE: Video shows Hillary Clinton boarding private jet just hours after launching global-warming push – and she's using a FRENCH aircraft that burns 347 gallons of fuel every hour!
Distinctive French-built Dassault Falcon 900B airplane was spotted in Des Moines, Iowa Monday afternoon, with Hillary Clinton climbing the stairs
An aide held a giant umbrella over her head so her hair didn't get wet
The 19-seater jet whooshed Clinton from Iowa to New Hampshire with the ink still drying on her presidential campagn's climate change agenda
Plane burns 347 gallons of fuel per hour and costs $5,850 per hour to rent
Its itineraries are secret because the owner has asked the Federal Aviation Administration to withhold flight plans from the public.
