National Journal.com reports that Sarah Palin spent $14,000 deicing a private jet used on her fund-raising trips; implying that there is something dodgy or hypocritical about it. True, conservatives do squawk the likes of Mr Al Gore or Senator Nancy Pelosi whizzing about in Gulfstreams, but NationalJournal.com is forgetting a few things about Mrs Palin:
- Mrs Palin is a private citizen, not a public servant.
- She is spending her own money.
- Conservatives approve of people flying in private jets. What they object to is Left-wingers who demand that people give up flying altogether while they reserve for themselves the privilege to swan about in the skies in luxury–often at taxpayers' expense.
