Remember my post a few weeks ago about the Eco-Scam being perpetrated at the Copenhagen meetings? My question about wanting to know how much Pelosi and her bunch of thieves were going to spend of our money while over there? Well, some details have come to light, in spite of Pelosi's demanded blackout of news coverage on the subject....
The list of official US House of Representative attendees:
Nancy Peliso (D-CA)
Charlie Rangel (D-NY)
Steney Hoyer (D-MD )
Henry Waxman (D-CA)
Candace Miller (D-MI)
Ed Markey (D-MA)
Bart Gordon (D-TN)
Sander Levin (D-MI)
Earl Blumenauer (D-OR)
Diana DeGette (D-CO)
Jay Inslee (D-WA)
Tim Ryan (D-OH)
GK Butterfield (D-NC)
Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO)
Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ)
Joe Barton (R-TX)
Fred Upton (R-MI)
Shelly Moore Capito (R-WV)
John Sullivan (R-OK)
Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)
The House delegation was so large it required two C-40s (737s) and a C-37 (Gulfstream G-5) to carry all 64 of them. I'll give you one guess as to who commandeered the C-37 for herself. 75% of the Representatives were Democrat, the majority from far left liberal districts.
Add US Senators (most of whom flew first class commercial at about $2000.00 each ticket), and a total of 101 people were counted as members of the official US Congressional delegation to the meeting. This does not count Obama or anyone from the executive branch, who were too numerous to count on their two VC-25s (747s).
321 rooms were booked at the five star Copenhagen Marriott for these people, all billed to the US taxpayer. How many meals, cocktails, parties, shopping jaunts, lap dances, limos, hookers, etc., were all expensed is unknown as of this time, and will probably never be known publicly. Who pays for it is painfully obvious - you and me!

Update 1/16/10 - According to just filed Congressional expense reports, Pelosi's delegation to Copenhagen cost us $1,100,000. This does not include Obama's group. When CBS News tried to ask her about the expenses, she refused their request for an interview.

It is a matter of "having no shame". When so many people are in such dire straits, I would be embarrassed to have my name on that list. I was blessed to be able to give my childen a good Christmas but there were a lot of families not as fortunate. I was appalled when I found out how much the rent was a night for the Obama's little vacation in Hawaii. One day's rent in Hawaii would have helped alot of US families over the holidays. As I recall, when the Bush family left DC, they simply "went home" to Texas. Washington is a sad charade of representing anything but self indulgence.
