Dems Junkets on the taxpayer dime?

Where is the double standard when Congressional travel (and gifts) are covered by the more stringent and transparent Ethics/Lobbying/Gift reform that Pelosi and Reid enacted when the Democrats first assumed control?

BTW, it was the first such reform in 20 years and while it doesnt go nearly far enough for me, it provides far more limitations and reporting requirements than anything the Republicans ever enacted.
