Facts are against you, Jim. It’s all about the plane.
Nobody’s talking about political or financial favors, dinners and
parties, contracts and influence, gowns and robes, pools and jewels,
artwork and real estate. It’s all about the plane. Nothing but the
plane, symbol of evil and corruption.

So if she had gotten a ride on, oh gee, maybe a yacht, there would be no
controversy? We wouldn't read the following anywhere?:

"Sarkozy himself came under fire after his election in 2007 for taking a
post-campaign getaway on a yacht belonging to French magnate Vincent
Bollore."

She says so herself (in the link
you didn’t read) "I will never board a private plane again". The plane
brought her up and the plane brought her down. Many more will follow,
with "private plane" becoming a popular search string for discrediting
unworthy public and private servants.

Um, if you say so. Think it would help any if we went on the political
attack by altering some old slogans, say:

"I Will Give Up My C-172 When They Peel My Cold Dead Fingers From Around
The Controls."

"If small planes are outlawed, only outlaws will have small planes."

"Cessna 152s and Pipers, Too"

"Airplanes We Can Believe In"

"Pilots of the world, unite!"

"Fliegen Macht Frei"

"Every Man a Pilot"
