Panama trip has pol on hot seat
O'Donnell calls perk permissible


Republican congressional candidate Rick O'Donnell, who has blasted politicians who accept perks, took an expenses-paid trip to Panama with his girlfriend arranged by a TV station doing business with a state agency he headed.

O'Donnell took the trip three weeks before he resigned as the head of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education to campaign for Congress full time.

KCNC-Channel 4 gave him the trip, paid for by the CBS network, after the commission purchased television ads encouraging Latinos to attend college, O'Donnell said. Such perks - called incentive trips in the industry - are commonly used for heavy advertisers.

And he denied that the trip was in any way in conflict with his campaign's "12-Point Plan to Clean Up Congress."

so he has a 12 point plan. not an 11 point or a 13 point but a 12 point plan.

maybe the voters will have a 0 point plan for him.
