Margaret Spellings, Frequent Flyer

The Education Wonks (who have been charting Spellings' travel habits) point to a Ben Feller AP story about how much more than her predecessors Spellings has been travelling: Spellings Goes Overseas to Tout Education. To make his points, Feller digs out Taxpayers for Common Sense to criticize the expenses, and Christopher Cross to defend the need.

For what it's worth, Spellings is apparently staying in the country this week. She's got four official events, in DC and Minnesota.
