This story is breaking news on the Drudge Report, though government waste is hardly news to me anymore. 

It's also not surprising that the members of Congress taking advantage of this giant, tax-payer funded photo-op come from both sides of the aisle.  Neither party is really commited to limited government, despite the fact that "EVERY PENNY COUNTS. CONGRESS SHOULD BE SHAKIN' THE COUCH CUSHIONS LOOKING FOR CHANGE, RATHER THAN SPENDING CASH FOR EVERYBODY TO GO TO COPENHAGEN."
