"Green" Democratic Presidential Candidates Foul the Air

Ah, to be a presidential candidate and a Democrat. You have absolution to foul the air with not just your pronouncements and your ideas, but also your jet fumes ... and at cut-rate fares.
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.

For Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama, Chris Dodd and Joe Biden, it was wheels up shortly after they voted in favor of legislation requiring that U.S. troops begin returning home from Iraq in the fall.

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.

Guess which one of these despoilers of the mental, moral and physical environment is going to get the "Green" vote. Just as the NAGS lined up in support of Bill Clinton "lie down and enjoy it." It's what they do.
