twitterFLASHPOINT for Mar 07, 2006

When is being ranked 20th better than being ranked first?
When a do-gooder group rates the elected junketeers who have been flying at corporate expense around the country and the world. PoliticalMoneyLine, a Web site that tracks political cash, has compiled a database of those who used corporate jets from 2001 to 2005. And Nevada's Harry Reid ranked 20th with 16 trips totaling $28,759. To put that in perspective, the president was second at $149,667 and Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards easily led the field at $313,749. Sen. John Ensign was a piker at 87th with only $3,012 in reported trips, according to the Web site. In this case, it's better to be grounded than flying high.
