No - when Pillosi flies over districts that vote Republican, she'll use the bathroom.
Nancy Nation is no longer confined to the Gay Area.
---When she flies over distrcits that vote Republican, will she say, "Let them eat cake"?----
No, thats when she will use her alternative flushing system.
"Please! I need to use the potty!"
Of course it was his idea. Where do you think he got it though?
All of the planes used for this kind of trip can go 4,000 miles plus without refueling.
This story renews it's self daily.
If you don't want updates on stories, just read the first ones.
A LearJet isn't good enough for Nancy Pelosi -- She wants to fly in a Boeing 757!
House speaker Nancy Pelosi wants a jet. But not just any jet, she wants an Air Force C-32. This jet is the military equivalent of a Boeing 757. It's a huge jet that costs $22,000 per hour to operate.
Vice-President Cheney flies on a C-32, and apparently Pelosi thinks she deserves the same.
The C-32 is a true inter-continental jumbo jet with a forward galley and lavatory. It has a center private stateroom, and rear seating for 32 passengers.
This plane is powered by twin Pratt and Whitney turbo fan jet engines which produce 41,700 pounds of thrust each.
The C-32 can fly 5,500 nautical miles before refueling. It has a cruising speed of Mach 0.8, or 530 MPH.
By comparison, Her predecessor, Dennis Hastert, had a C-21, the military version of a LearJet 35A. An 8 passenger executive jet that can be operated for $900 per hour.
A C-21 has a range of 2,300 miles. This jet is powered by twin Two Garrett TFE-731-2-2B engines mounted pod style to the fuselage. It has a maximum speed of 531 MPH.

The ride she wants -
The ride she can have -
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
There are no reports she asked for a 15-member crew. She asked for a non-stop jet and the C-32 happens to be the plane that meets that requirements. Even if she used the C-32 - just because it can accommodate 15 member crew doesn't mean all 15 have to be on the plane for it to fly. While I can't stand Pelosi's guts I think people are inferring way too much from too few specifics.
Your right!
But she could just borrow Hillary's broom...
Umm the article was from February 8th. Updates?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not request a larger plane for personal use to travel cross-country without stopping, Bill Livingood, the House sergeant at arms, said Thursday.
If Hillary loans Pelosi her broom , I have a good idea where Hillary will shove it.
"the Clintons were absolute trash"
Say no more...........
here's the fine print: a bedroom equipped with boy-toys for her majesty's in-flight refreshment...
I wonder how many other Russian rulers in the past 90 years have had a Bible on their plane.
More than Pelosi's group would have.
I say give her the damn jet and get over it. This is not a winning issue for conservatives. Like her or not, she's the head of the House and I can see why she might want to fly non-stop to California and sleep on the way.
I mean, it's not like she gets to keep the thing when she's tossed out! Yes, I realize I'm probably the only one here who thinks we ought to just let this go and avoid looking mean.
Yeah, peachy. "New Tone", and not being 'mean', has certainly gotten us a lot of wonderful co-operation, enormous empathy, and stunning legislative progress from "across the aisle" these past years. ................ NOT!!!!
Stuff her sagging a$$ into the back of a Piper Cub....IMO.
