MSNBC: Treasury Secretary Asked for Gov’t Jet for His Own Honeymoon

‘This guy is extraordinarily wealthy’

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “Mike Barnicle, this guy is extraordinarily wealthy. He can afford — I’m sure he has his own private planes. Why is he trying to use taxpayer dollars to jet he and his newlywed bride around all over the globe and to go on a honeymoon in France, Italy, and I guess Spain. And then again, the one that just tops them all, to fly directly into the path of the total eclipse of the sun so he and his wife with her Valentinos and Chanel bags and everything else can stand on top of the pile of gold at Ft. Knox to watch the total eclipse.”
BARNICLE: “I like that image. Total eclipse of the sun, great song. But the idea that you need secure communications instruments on your honeymoon, I mean, that’s — that’s a whole new deal.”
