Maybe Pelosi can get a smaller jet with inflight refueling capability so that she doesn't have to land and refuel. Maybe they can get Bush 41's SR-51 our of retirement. A nice quick ride and the g-forces will help smooth her wrinkles.

She's just another arrogant limousine liberal, with delusions of grandeur adequacy.
There, that's more accurate.

What would be the difference between the fuel burn, and the fuel burn @ cruise for the C32? The C32 is the same airframe as a 757.
Fuel Burn: 4.014gal/mile Fuel Burn @ Climb: 2681.55gal/hr Fuel Burn @ Cruise: 1191.8gal/hr Fuel Burn @ Descent: 376.358gal/hr
So Nancy Pelosi - who supposedly is worried about our nation's fuel consumption and the environment - needs 24,000 gallons of jet fuel per trip to get back and forth to work.

To: governsleastgovernsbest
My husband (who doesn't pay much attention to politics) told me about this .. and I won't repeat what he said *L*
BTW .. Have any pilots chimed in on TV this plane issue??
The reason why I ask is because there was a caller on Glen Beck's show this morning that said he use to fly military planes and knows about this type of plane and that it can indeed fly coast to coast without refueling
Do we know more about this plane the Pentagon gives the Speaker of the House??
Also ... another caller said that Gramma Pelosi is acting like she is the Prime Minster of the United States

As I have said on numerous occasions, Nancy Pelosi is not a bright person...she is rather dumb in fact. She continues to step in the biggest pile on the lawn over and over. Bring on the popcorn!!
To: gondramB
after claiming that it was security (since the the air force base where they would refuel is pretty darn secure.) Sounds like she doesn't trust the military

STFU, Pelosi. Iy isn't your freakin' money!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To: AFreeBird
The real reason she wants a large craft is so she can travel with a large fawning entourage of sycophants. I can just imagine the go-list for this boondoggle.
To: keepitreal; Howlin
keepitreal .. Is that the plane the Pentagon issued the Speaker of the House??
If so .. sure looks like she can fly coast to coast without stopping to refuel

"Broomstick 1" LOL! No doubt that'll be the Air Force callsign for whatever aircraft she eventually "settles for".

Pelosi is whining because she doesn't have an elephantine carbon footprint to go with her ego.

I missed this.
He was John Walker of Cross Roads Presbyterian. The part of Orange County that is what is now Alamnace County.

Interesting, so you're at least a little Scotch-Irish. There was also a John Walker in Tryon's Militia, who fought the Regulators. Is this Colonel John Walker?

When Dingell suggested there was good reason to suspect that someone "leaked" the story, Jacobus had a telling rebuttal: "I have a problem with the term 'leaked.' It shouldn't be a secret. Is it something [Pelosi] thought should have been kept secret?"Most excellent!

let the dems have everything they want, let them conduct the war as they see fit the sooner they screw it all up the faster we will be rid of them...unfotunately a lot of innocents may suffer...the dems and 99% of hollywood ascribe to the Neville Chamberlain school of diplomacy -sooner or later the realists amongst us will have to pick up the pieces and right the ship....
To: governsleastgovernsbest
She should get the SAME and nothing more than Hastert got.
Her relatives and hangers on should fly commerical like the rest of us common folk.
Whatever Hastert got, she gets and NOTHING more.
I'm already SICK TO DEATH of this screacher!
I wish that big vein in her forehead would just explode already.
