Put me down in the "don't give a shite" category.

It depends on who you are. Republican - obviously no. Nancy Pelosi - of course.

I don't see how anybody could argue yes.
I'm sure some here will try though.

I'm sure you could find some pretty egregious abuses, but in theory, it doesn't bother me.

Bush did it first.

For personal trips? Absolutely, positively no. Period.
According to the article, AG Holder has to reimburse the government the cost of his flight. Sounds good in theory. In this particular instance, he is using an aircraft that will cost several thousand dollars to operate and yet only be charged the comparable cost of airfare between Washington DC and New York City. Sorry, but that is fraud, waste and abuse no matter who is in power politcally. I can guarantee, if he (or any other public official) was charged true cost of operation, they would not use the government aircraft.
For official duties? Not a problem.

Elections have consequences.

What's rather ironic is that they spend billions on the TSA and Homeland Security to make air travel safe for all of us, but it isn't safe enough for the Attorney General?
