This search took me about 30 seconds. There are probably more from both Rep. and Dem. officials. My question to you, Brad, is so what?

Barbour Defends Use of State Plane for DC Events

West Des Moines, Iowa (AP) - Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour on Friday defended his use of a state jet to fly to political events and conduct state business in Washington, saying he hadn't used the plane more than previous governors.

"I will tell you that compared to my predecessor, my hours on our state plane are almost exactly the same, less than 10 percent difference per year," Barbour told The Associated Press during a visit to Iowa.

Democrat Ronnie Musgrove served as Mississippi governor before Barbour was elected in 2003. The Republican governor was re-elected in 2007. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/...plane-dc-event
