First, it was never in question that Pelosi was going to get 'A' plane. What was in dispute, was whether she would get the big 757 that she wanted. The answer to that is NO.
What Tony Snow has done, is KILL Pelosi's argument.
By coming out and saying it is 'silly' for her to not get an aircraft, allows the White House to take the high road, while not giving Pelosi what she really wanted. Everyone involved knew she would get a plane, and since the Pentagon told her last night in a letter that she would get a C-20 for official business only, and that her family would NOT be allowed to fly with her without paying a coach fare, the dispute is OVER!
The KNEEJERKING on this website has gone completely nuts, and most of you dont even know when you have WON.
SHUTUP!
How have the fish been bitin'?
Nice to see you around, Pukin.
The whole country now knows about a story the MSM, other than a few lone outlets, had steadfastly refused to pick up until Tony Snow called it silly. In trying to help out Pelosi by saying "see, even Tony Snow says it's ok", the MSM just got rope-a-doped into finally committing into print that the speaker & her cronies had threatened to take away money for the troops unless she got her Flying Palace! Pretty smart, I'd say. (Maybe Karl Rove was actually behind this?)
