House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., today responded to Republican critics who have accused her of making unreasonable demands on the Pentagon for a luxurious airplane her Republican predecessor never requested.
Pelosi charged that the Pentagon is treating her request for a military plane differently than that of her predecessor because she is a woman.
The Speaker told gathered reporters, "As a woman, as a woman speaker of the House, I don't want any less of an opportunity than male speakers when they have served here," implying a sexist undertone to the recent criticism.
"This is something that's very strange that the Department of Defense and the Pentagon, which I have been a constant critic of the war in Iraq...has decided that they will go public about a conversation on an issue that applied to the other Speaker," Pelosi continued, refering to former Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill.
"I want an aircraft that will reach California," Pelosi told reporters Wednesday afternoon, insisting that she doesn't care what kind of plane it is as long as it can fly nonstop to her home district.
But by Thursday, Pelosi's tune had changed, telling reporters, "If they can have a plane that can go cross country then I'll take that plane. If they don't, I will go commercial."

Get over yourself, honey. Everybody else has.
"The Speaker told gathered reporters, "As a woman, as a woman speaker of the House, I don't want any less of an opportunity than male speakers when they have served here," implying a sexist undertone to the recent criticism."
What a witch. How could anybody in their right mind vote for this loon.
Next thing you'll know, she'll say, "Oh, he's just jealous of me because I'm so pretty." Is this chick for real?
If not, tell her to fly Southwest.
You're not a woman. You're a shrew. An ill-tempered hag. A gorgon. The military makes no provision for those creatures. You're lucky they don't make you ride with the luggage.

TOLD YA SO!!! So now we have a Jesse Jackson for women. Yes, another generic liberal troublemaker playing the gender card. She is such a TOTAL loser.
Who is she kidding. "Take your shoes off Nancy. Give us your baggage so we can look in it Nancy". Yeah, right. Commercial? Never.
Once again I am reminded that the word, "bitch", has more than one definition and in this context we are not talking about female canines.
I still don't understand why she can't just use her broom.
There fixed.
She and the dims will only have to bitch a bit longer and they'll reverse themselves and give her the plane.
Pelosi wants far more than any previous SOTH ever asked for. In fact, we've heard more from Pelosi in 8 weeks than we heard from Hastert in 8 years.
Far more.
This is ABC News reporting in this tone? Musta got the memo on the Fairness Doctrine; I am honestly shocked...
Thanks again, "protest voters."

Well, she is following her role model, Cynthia McKinney. Let us pray that Pelosi will meet the same fate...she is equally deserving and of the same class and stature.

This is not because you are a woman.
This is because you are a greedy, greedy, greedy creep.
You are wealthy even when compared to your peers in the Senate. Yet, as a "champion of the working class", you want my tax dollars to fly you back to CA.
You want the men & women of the U.S. Air force - people you are actively working to harm with your comments related to the war - to serve you.
I am hopeful that your ego will be your undoing. Surely even your own party is growing tired of you and the negative press.
LOL - what a crybaby. Next thing you know she'll throw a fit if she has to exit from the back of the plane.
Oh, and there's more to come in '08, They've already made that promise.
