Was this trip REALLY necessary?

A follow-up story by CBS News relieved the recently released expenditures report for the boondoggle to Copenhagen for the pointless "Climate Change" Summit. Our Pal, the "Honorable" Congressman Cleaver felt his presence was essential. He spent a total of TWO DAYS in Denmark at a cost to us, the taxpayers, of $4,406. And that's not counting airfare!


Total cost to taxpayers for this entire junket . . well over $1.1 million!

If you're like me and think all this is a huge waste of hot gas, you know what to do in November!

You can read the entire expenditure report HERE.

And you can listen to KCMO 710 morning radio host Chris Stigall talk about it HERE.

Cleaver in Copenhagen?

It should come as no surprise that when there's something completely pointless and wasteful going on, our own Congressman Cleaver will be there. Still I have to admit my jaw dropped a bit when I heard his name on this evening's CBS News broadcast as one of the 17 congresspeople who decided their presence was essential to the Copenhagen climate debate and flew there on OUR tab! Hope you had a great time Congressman Cleaver! Ten more months and you're OUT!
