No - when Pillosi flies over districts that vote Republican, she'll use the bathroom.

The Dems are a freak show. Congress should be held in a big tent and admission should be charged to see Pelosi (AKA AIR BARUKA) and Hillary Rotten (AKA STALIN IN A PANT SUIT).

Well, listen hillary

Refueling is at Military bases.

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.

They're starting to call her 'Nonstop Nancy'. How about 'San Fran Fraud, Waste & Abuse'?

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.

So she wants the taxpayers to provide her with transportation she could easily pay for herself? I wouldn't be so critical except she and her friends are the same people who've savagely ripped the Republicans for years for benefitting the rich.

Well I don't understand why there isn't an uproar since she also wanted a 15-member crew dedicated to her.

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.

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.

And due to global warming the peasants shall also have new transportation.



Of course the new communist system (oops) socialism only mandates peasants conserving fuel.

Yuck! I spent 14 years in the air crew business in the Air Force. I pity the crews that will have to fly this sleaze. I heard that the Clintons were absolute trash. I can't imagine Pelosi will be any better.

I wonder how many other Russian rulers in the past 90 years have had a Bible on their plane.

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.

...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.
