Sick and tired of Congress using the military like their own private airline. Wanting to take her family on a military flight should be forbidden but I have no faith the WH will turn it down.

It costs the AF mega bucks to do these flights and they don't get paid even a fraction of the costs.

Makes me mad all over again at the folks that wanted to teach us a lesson and gave us these nitwits in power. Cannot imagine the poor pilots that have to fly this scum.

Perhaps someone should inform this self-important arrogant bitch Pelosi that United Air Lines has non-stop flights between Frisco and D.C. I hope the TSA put her on the "No Fly" list!

Let her take off her shoes and get hassled like
every other schmuck.

She is a multi, multi, multi millionaire...she can pay for her own private jet.

There is NO REASON that taxpayers should spend ONE cent for her or anyone else to fly just to go home!

If Congresscritters are going to foreign countries..that is one thing..but, just to get back and forth from their home states??? NOPE.

Sources told The Washington Times Pelosi wants to use the aircraft for herself, staff, family and other members of the California delegation for the commute between Washington and San Francisco.

I assume that she doesn't intend to pay for the flights. Maybe she just wants to avoid the airport security checks that all the rest of us have to endure because she's a very special lady.

Third in line of succession - President pro tempore of the Senate (Robert Byrd) -hack, choke...

Fourth in line of succession - Secretary of State (Condoleezza Rice)

Fifth in line of succession - Secretary of the Treasury (Henry M. Paulson, Jr.)

Sixth in line of succession - Secretary of Defense (Robert Gates)

Tell her the only thing available for her ride to SF in is a fighter. Show her that little button to hit when she wants to communicate with the pilot and see where she ejects. Maybe over a red state that she doesn't know exists.

Kind of sad that she has been sworn in for how long? And she is already so swollen with her new found "power" that she is lined up to abuse it....

And there are no Republicans anywhere with the nads to stand up to her...

You are correct, but I shudder she got her precedent from the the last crop of RINOs.

One other thought...now that the Dems are supposedly portraying the image of a "clean" government without undue influence from vote-buying by lobbyists - I mean - didn't they just ban the use of free corporate percs... So she has to get around with her family somehow. After all, we wouldn't DARE let the "most powerful woman in the world" ride in a commoner's first-class seat on a commercial carrier, would we?

I disagree on that only because it is not uncommon for businesses to fly employees home for a few days when on extended business trips. I would agree with coach or business class tickets every 6 weeks or so - for her. I expect Pelosi is looking for unlimited, frequent above executive class travel for her, her extended family, and political cronies. We all know that it's the arrogance of power that motivates her. W will approve this in a second.
