Pay attention to the hypocrisy

In all the much ado about nothing involving Nancy Pelosi and the extra cost of a jet to carry her non-stop to California, everyone seems to be forgetting Dick Cheney's duck hunting trip to Louisiana in 2004. The controversy at the time involved a potential conflict of interest, since Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was his guest on Air Force Two and there was a matter pending before the Supreme Court involving Cheney. Putting that issue aside, however, how about the question of why were the taxpayers paying to send Fat-Ass on a duck hunting trip in the first place? Did he repay taxpayers for the cost of that trip, or did he have other priorities? Oh, and also, how about the comment Cheney made after he shot Harry on the quail hunt in hell in 2006? Remember, after he sobered up he gave an interview to the Fox in the Hen House News and mentioned he always travels with a medical staff. Do we pay for that as well? We have to pay for him to quail hunt with a bad ticker? But we can't pay for Pelosi to travel home non-stop? Hypocrisy? I think so!
