TAPPED compares Bush’s use of Air Force One on trips to campaign for Republicans to Hillary Clinton’s use of government travel when she was campaigning for herself, and wants to know why this isn’t hypocritical, given that some Republicans criticized Hillary. Um, isn’t part of the difference that Bush is, you know, the President? And she wasn’t? The Washington Post article that TAPPED links to puts it this way: “The accounting guidelines used by the White House were set in 1982, and Democrats benefited mightily from them during President Bill Clinton’s marathon fundraising swings. Now it’s the GOP’s turn.”
