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.

What I can't understand is why Bush is coming down in Nancy's corner on this.

Does the White House really think that making nice too Pelosi will her from ripping his throat out any way she can?

No. What you listed simply describes what a particular military aircraft has. I have not seen where she asked for those specific requirements. Point me to a document or a quote where she asked for those things. Maybe she did but I haven't seen it.

I hear you. And do you know what I think? If he sides up with her, I don't think we should be there to pull the knife out of his back.

Where's the outrage from the Lefties and the Greenies? What's the carbon footprint (or whatever that crap equation is called) for flying one old hag across country in a jet that size?

You two can go ahead and write a check for your scumbag Pelosi's own Air Force One.
I happen to think her demands are a disgrace and a juicy theme for Republicans to play to the hilt if they have the stones and the smarts.

I bet a lot of astronauts are wiping their foreheads in relief, glad that Nowak didn't hijack the shuttle and crash it into Mars out of despair over her boyfriend dumping her for a younger babe.

It's been 6 long years defending him. If he caves on this one, I give up.
