Oh.
nevermind.
This is one of the ways they stay rich. Do you know who I am. I should receive everything for free.

While they steal the taxpayers blind.
On the other side of the coin, the taxpayers elected them.
So I suppose that they are doing what the people who elected them want them to do.
Is this for REAL??/ Her RELATIVES she wants shipped??? hat an ELITE ASS!
I wonder if Nancy Pelosi has ever heard of a teleconference. It sure would save a lot of energy if the Dems would just do what they preach.
I think they should put her one that breaks the sound barrier and her face!!
In essence, she's asking for her own Air Force 3.
" U.S. Air Force travel for VIPs such as members of Congress is first-rate.
The planes are staffed with stewards who serve meals and tend an open bar."
This is freaking unbelievable. For all of the pampered bums in Congress.
Queen Pelosi should travel Space A on military transports with the little people that wear the uniform.
Sadly , there will not be a bar and sometimes, not even a lav.
Our Commander-in-Chief plus every Republican in congress should stand together and say:NO!
There's a GAO report about the abuse of military aircraft by Congress Critters.

Tis is corruption and arrogance rolled into one. And I come to expect it from such people.
First...We are not an airline and yet what I will support is less restriction from people who have actuallly SERVED this nation in uniform, not some self-important peacock strutting politician who thinks the military makes better butlers than they do soldiers (if you dont remember Hillary making us butlers just look in the archives.)
I would not want this woman or ANY from her family or ANY from her delegation or ANY from her worldview on my plane unless I am taking them into the zone on official business. And travel home to peddle for votes or vacation at home # 67 does not qualify!
I have been in near 20 years now and the insults need to end from the people who do not know what the military is for.
Pelosi's imperial expectations are getting old already. Our military is not a taxi service for civilians.
Exactly. If I have to fly coach when on govt. business, then so does she. Can't have even the appearance of fraud, waste, or abuse. Her request manages to nail all three.
Did Botoxalosi's broom blew a rod?
Imagine the press reaction if Newt Gingrich demanded something like this.
No this is an anti-corruption measure intended to further assure that this is the most ethical congress ever. By having the Air Force fly her around she is not tempted to take money from someone who might want a political favor in order to buy a first class airline seat or even to be flown there in a supporter's private jet.</sarcasm>
"The aide asserted that the administration was using a Washington Times reporter, in effect, to negotiate with the speaker's office by leaking information about Mrs. Pelosi's request. Asked if the speaker was seeking increased access to military planes, the aide took the question, but did not call back."
Now the Dems complain about leaks.
