In Connecticut, U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman, a Democrat, and U.S. Rep. Nancy Johnson, R-5th Dist., lead the way in jetting on someone else's dime. ... Lieberman and his staff took 130 trips, more than twice as many as any other member of the Connecticut delegation during the period covered by the report, with private interests footing the $119,000 bill.

But various organizations spent $200,000 on Johnson's 51 trips — almost double what was spent on any other member in the state.

No wonder Joe marched with Nancy at the Waterbury parade while shunning Democrats. They have so much in common. And no wonder he'll do anything to try to holod on to his Senate seat.

Maybe we need a Senator who won't have to sell his office to live the high life.
