| Dem Candidates Squander Jet Fuel and Emissions |
| 2007-04-27 |
| A flock of small jets took flight from Washington Thursday, each carrying a Democratic presidential candidate to South Carolina for the first debate of the political season. No one jet pooled, no one took commercial flights to save money, fuel or emissions. All but Biden, who flew on a private jet, chartered their flights - a campaign expense of between $7,500 and $9,000. |

| #2 Silky Pony (Edwards) was, of course, talking about the little people. Not those like him who need to have a private jet fly them around from meeting to meeting and from Golf game to Golf game..... |

| #1 Meanwhile, John Edwards was quoted from the debate - "On the issue of climate change, we ought to cap carbon emissions in the United States. We ought to invest in clean alternative sources of energy. We ought to invest in carbon sequestration technology, in coal technology. A billion dollars, at least, into making sure we build the most fuel-efficient vehicles on the planet. We ought to ask Americans to be patriotic about something other than war. To be willing to conserve." |
