Buried at the bottom of a story in “The Hill” a few weeks back was this little nugget.
The official recalled a trip that former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), former Sen. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) and Sen. Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) took a few years ago to Pakistan.
“When the senators went to Kabul on a military plane, the three spouses of Frist, DeWine and Coleman had a separate C-120 take them to Bahrain to take a windshield tour of the city and to shop,†the official said.
This leads to a couple of obvious questions:
1)Â Did the government pick up the full cost of the shopping trip to Bahrain?
2)Â If so, how much did it cost?
I’ve placed a call to Senator Coleman’s Washington Press Office and will update this story as soon as I hear back from them.
