Oh wait, you're all attacking the senator? I assumed the "They never cease to amaze me" was referring to the auditors or something.
I can't believe people here think it's bad for her to be expensing a breakfast, and that she should make do with just the airline breakfast. Really? You think it's reasonable for someone travelling on business to only eat the airline food all day, and nothing else?
Also, I agree with her that it's a bit ridiculous for them to be going into such detail over such a minor thing. Surely there are bigger fish to fry?
PS, you should read the article. The camembert wasn't an expense -- the cheese was the airline "meal"!
