Nancy Pelosi Wants Bedroom on Jet

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.

Sorry, I disagree. Especially since she's got John Murtha shaking down the Pentagon like some mafia capo, telling them that the money for our troops is at risk if they don't give in to her demands. Nothing "petty" about that at all.

Consider Hillary's $40million trip to Africa and this is Piker's money. But, Pelosi is just starting and I imagine will not want to be outdone by the 1st highness of corruption.

You are right. We should hang her upside down in a cave during the day so she can get 'beauty' sleep.

How about one of those caves that are dangling under the wings of the plane? Someone could decide that Her Majesty's beauty sleep must not be disturbed before spooling up the engine ...

Got FOD?

She has lost her mind and is not fit to be speaker if she thinks the taxpayer should foot that kind of bill. I hope this wasn't the sacrifice the taxpayer would be asked to make.

On a serious note, our guys and gals serving overseas are dreaming of a safe, warm, cozy bed tonight while Miss Thing is creating a national crisis over the size and comforts of her own private jet.

And sending her leg breakers over to shake them down if she doesn't get her way.

"But assuming two DC-SF round trip runs a week, we're talking $320,000 - $400,000 per week. That comes out to $16.6 to $20.8 million per year."

Should be repeated and often!

That reminds me of Pinky and the Brain. Ever seen that cartoon? She would be the Brain and Murtha would be Pinky.

Pinky: What we gunna do today Brain?

Brain: Same thing we do every day Pinky. Conspire to take over the World! Are you pondering what I am pondering Pinky?

Pinky: Sure Brain, why did they Pierce Brosnan?

Yep. Red-eye, coach, next to the engines, behind a pair of screaming babies and between an Amway salesman and a 400-pound drunk with chiggers.
