The elitists attitudes in Washington perpetuates this kind of thinking and behavior and we the people have allowed these kind of atrocities to become common place in politics today..SHAME ON US! Wake up America!!!
A skank with money and privilege.
What? Either you need coffee or I do.
Americans need to be reminded government employees are our servants. The elite, in no way, consider themselves as our servants. Pampered elitist are of the mindset, people serve them.
Reading it twice doesn’t help either. Pour me a cup, also, with a side order of peanuts. ;)
She’s definetely going down in history with the likes of Lucrezia Borgia and Tom Delay. But, I have to admit I felt a twinge of back-handed respect for her for sitting on her own side of the aisle at the SOTU.
skank...!!!!!
(crud, filth)
good choice...

it did command...get in their face...
The Scanadl is that she got authorised to use a Government plane at all.
She could have flown first class commercial.
But she was too good to sit with ordinary Americans.
Why first class??? For a woman with no class at all, taxpayers should not have been required to pay for anything other than an economy class ticket....If she wanted to upgrade, it should have come out of her own pocket....she is a very wealthy woman, after all....
It’s the old Golden Rule: Those with the gold (power) make the rules...
==============================================
This shocking abuse led to new House Speaker John Boehner’s decision to fly commercial.
=====================================
Then-Speaker Pelosi’s use of United States Air Force planes cost taxpayers $2,100,744.59 over one two-year period — $101,429.14 of which was for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol.
On one flight, the speaker’s office requested egg salad sandwiches on wheat toast with fruit (watermelon, etc) for dessert. For her B-Day, they asked for chocolate-covered strawberries w/ dark chocolate.
In one free-loading congressional junket led by Pelosi the DC delegation traveled May 15-20, 2008 through Tel Aviv, Israel to Baghdad, Iraq.
Libs quaffed:
Johnny Walker Red scotch,
Grey Goose vodka,
E&J brandy,
Baileys Irish Cream,
Maker’s Mark whiskey,
Courvoisier cognac,
Bacardi Light rum,
Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin,
Dewar’s scotch,
Bombay Sapphire gin,
Jack Daniel’s whiskey,
Corona beer, and,
several bottles of wine.
The array of specific alcoholic brands compels one to wonder how much time Pelosi's tax-paid staff spent getting the drink orders together.
===============================================
We need a law to compel the public exposition of all emails, textings, cell phone records, snail mails, etc by these "public (gag) servants."
The Tea Party should send her a bill....
You got that right!
So by my calculations, $2.1 million divided by 120 flights in 2 years (45 flights in 9 months prorates to 60 flights per year) equals $17,500 per flight. Compare that to flying first class and booking your flight at the last possible minute (as if you could never PLAN your flight schedule) which would be on the order of $1,500 or so for trans-continental airfare. Let's simply use $1,750 per first class flight which is a 90% savings.
Typical government entrenched liberal elitist behavior.
Why did she need a military escort? She was and is a nobody.
All these congress critters should get ZERO travel expense and work from their home districts. Millions of Americans telecommute. Some do it from other countries!
If the “representatives” had to work from their home districts, we could keep an eye on them, they would be more representative of their constituents, and greedy filth like Pelosi wouldn’t find the “job” elitist enough and would spare the nation their greedy, selfish contempt.
Is there anything more terrifying than the thought of being on an airplane with Nancy Pelosi after she's eaten egg salad sandwiches?
