Actually, the congressional junkets on some lobbyist's dime are more disturbing than the First Lady's trips. Almost as much as the junkets they take paid for by taxpayers called "fact finding" trips, which are really a way to give their staff an exotic vacation without paying for it themselves.

What the First Lady and the kids do doesn't bother me too much. It's not like they can go to Disneyland anonymously like the rest of us can. Er, well, like the rest of you can.

Of course you can't accept that Laura Bush went on trips during two of the worst crashes on the stock market since the Great Depression but you're going to act as if that did not happen.
