Suitably Flip

I Just Flew In From Washington And Boy Am I Glib

Last night I couldn't help but notice how odd it was that the Democratic debaters kept changing the subject each time the questions turned environmental.  With the Goracle's pet topic soaring to near-Iraq levels of political significance (and with the Goracle himself absent), why wouldn't any of the candidates want to seize the opportunity to take their own ride on ManBearPig?

Why indeed?

A flock of small jets took flight from Washington Thursday, each carrying a Democratic presidential candidate to South Carolina for the first debate of the political season.
...
No one jet pooled, no one took commercial flights to save money, fuel or emissions.

All but Biden, who flew on a private jet, chartered their flights -- a campaign expense of between $7,500 and $9,000.

Could it be that even among seasoned politicians, a group of 8 people simply can't bring themselves to lecture the world about green living if they've just stepped off 8 private jets, most of which originated in and would return to the same place?
