Critics charge that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is abusing the perks of power by asking for a jumbo military jet with sleeping accommodations for her flights across the country.
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Pentagon agreed to provide the speaker, who is second in the line of presidential succession, with a military plane for added security during trips back home.
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, an Illinois Republican, flew in a small commuter-sized Air Force jet.
Pelosi wants a larger aircraft that can fly to her San Francisco district without stopping to refuel.
Some sources are claiming that Pelosi demanded access to the C-32, which seats 45 and has a stateroom for the primary passenger, a conference facility, an entertainment system and three convertible beds.

And Pelosi herself told the media on Wednesday that the request for the plane "has nothing to do with family and friends and everything to do with security. Its a question of distance.Yeah, right.
How does stopping to refuel compromise her security?

Good one. I didn't think about the carbon footprint. I would be voting for an ox and a cart.

Maybe the mad Methodist in Missouri might murder Murtha's mother?

What is the problem? I would be happy with a tour bus with a clean restroom. How holier than though can this woman be.

Especially stopping at AF bases to refuel.

Could the Pantsuit have her fingerprints on this one, too?

Oui!
If I remember correctly, it was the cart the condemned rode in on their way to the guillotine. In a Tale of Two Cities, Madame LaFarge sat near the foot of the machine smoking her pipe, knitting and watching the aristos get a little off the top.

For such a powerful woman, one word does NOt come to mind when one thinks of Nancy Pelosi: humility. Its a trait Americans should expect from their Speaker Of The House. Instead, she acts like her job is not good enough for her. Just stunning.

Makes us look pretty silly? Speak for yourself. In my opinion Pelosi is the one making a complete ass of her self and her political party.

The Liberal reaction from another board...
"The Right Wing "Anything But Iraq" diversion has already been exposed, Rufus.
Tune in to Rush tomorrow for the next hot story to focus on."
These people are TRULY nuts, but you can tell they feel let down by thier Fuhrer's blatant attempt at self-grandizement...
It's almost as if they actually BELIEVED what the Democrats told them about "Draining The Swamp"....

So what if she has to stop at a Air Force base for refuel.
She should ride a jackass anyhow.
