About donations from fossil fuel employees and he burned many gallons of product from fossil fuel. Chastise those who takes these trips. Of course how does the protesters travel, by using fossil fuel products.

However the source,this should show his support base ( if any ) that his spending practices are not so kosher.
He needs to be on the Hillary train now rather then later,,,just sayin'

After the big loss in the New York primary,as we have all expected,where is he to go?
Perhaps the Pope can set him up with a gig

Quite the gift to her at his campaign's expense. He took 50 people along-family, press, Secret Service (guess their ride was on us). Pricey!

The fuel thing doesn't rile me. They used to blast Gore for using a plane for anything. I guess to be really pure, he shoulda hitch hiked

The article is terribly damning - not only did he bring Jane, but her kids (his step kids) and grandchildren. All paid for by the campaign...when this whole thing could have been done by Skype.
