That's an incredible number -- 26 senators.
Probably the same 26 senators who are spending tax dollars to fly in private aircraft the same way as that Fortune 250 CEO. They are just looking to avoid future scandals.
You guys would be brilliant political commentary if only there was such a thing as the Fortune 250.
