"This is clearly a subsidy," he said March 8.
Two days earlier, he had taken a BellSouth plane from a runway near his home in Leesburg, Va., to fund-raising events in North Carolina and South Carolina. The jet ferried Santorum, two aides and Ward White, BellSouth's top Washington lobbyist.

you wouldn't have done the same thing? Catch a ride with your buddy?
Nope--not if that buddy's a lobbyist and I'm a U.S. Senator stumping for lobbying reform that would ban such rides.
hypocricy: The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.
Greets to the webmaster of this wonderful site! Keep up the good work. Thanks.
