These People Represent Us

CBS News has continued investigating the Nancy Pelosi Copenhagen Climate junket, and they're finding some interesting information, for those of us that don't live off of your tax dollars.

This is a gem from the full article:

"Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., is a key climate change player. He went to Copenhagen last year. Last week, we asked him about the $2,200-a-day bill for room and food. 

"'I can't believe that,' Rep. Waxman said. 'I can't believe it, but I don't know.' 

"But his name is in black and white in the expense reports. The group expense report was filed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. She wouldn't talk about it when our producer tried to ask. 

"Pelosi's office did offer an explanation for the high room charges. Those who stayed just two nights were charged a six-night minimum at the five-star Marriott. One staffer said, they strongly objected to no avail. You may ask how they'll negotiate a climate treaty, if they can't get a better deal on hotel rooms."

If Democrats want to be viewed as responsible - to any degree - dumping Nancy might be a good first step.
