Do I look like I go to Pittsburgh in January?

I'm not intending to be partisan by picking on Rep. Dan Lungren, but I just loved his shout-out to the 'burgh on ABC news, last night.

The report talked about a loophole in the ethics law that let him take a vacation to Hawaii and write it off as a campaign expense.
Lungren, a member of a key committee that oversees airport security issues, insisted he carried out important discussions with airport executives while at the pool. "I'm a California kid," Rep. Lungren told ABC News. "I grew up around pools. We do a lot of business around pools." Asked if he would have attended if the January conference were held in Pittsburgh, Lungren said, "Do I look like I go to Pittsburgh in January?"
:twisted:
