I've been listening to our dismal media [View all]

talk about the plane. What I have not heard is anybody just plainly say "What on earth does a Presidential Library need with a fully functional mega-jet of it's very own? Are the personnel at these libraries so tight on their scheduling and where they have to go that normal airline travel isn't sufficient?"

Instead most of what I've heard has been about the prohibition in the Constitution etc. rather than the obvious laundering of $400 million dollars by way of DOD to the Presidential Library and then of course the plane would be used for the private purposes of Crumb the 1st or he would leverage a loan against it and fill his pockets.

Then right on cue when the issue didn't die after 2 days we get the "Joe is so feeble he was almost needing a wheelchair" crap. Or the media goes to the "Pam Bondi says it's OK" routine. Nobody in the media is brave enough to just come out and say "You know what it is no longer worthwhile to ask this Attorney General anything because if you ask an idiot a question you should expect an idiotic response."
