Impress your colleagues and friends with this one. Ask a basic question: Which party in Congress spent more money on trips, Republicans or Democrats.
Watch the stammered reply when you inform them that the Democrats, who are the minority party, actually spent more on trips than Republicans.
Why is this important? Well, in politics, keeping score is everything, and spending on junkets is one thing that the politicans love to hammer each other about. Tom Delay is only the latest high profile Republican to get skewered for his trip-taking, yet he's not even the worst offender. That title belongs to any number of Democrats, including Maurice Hinchey (D-NY).
