I know, I know, we've touched on this before in other posts [1]. But it seems to me we can't overstate the pride we Missourians should feel in being represented in Washington by a man who continues to get national attention for his prodigious use of discount corporate jets. Our man Roy Blunt continues to make a name for himself as an unparalleled casher of travel chits with industries who have business before the congress.

Roy even managed to make the lede in today's Washington Post story [2] about the top Congressional users of corporate jets at special discount elected-official rates.

From the story comes the fun factoid that over the last four years, Roy B has taken advantage of access to indusstry-owned coprorate jets on average once every ten days.

I'm sure it's a great comfort to Roy's constituents --who might get access to the Whip for a few minutes once every year or so-- to know that corporate lobbyists have his captive attention for a few hours every week and a half.
