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.

That's a Pig in a pant suit
I would love to run into Mzzzzz Pelosi in the airport when she's flying commercial. I would have my son kick the back of her seat for 2300 miles.

This is NOT a private jet. It will be a MILITARY jet.
The ones you can't raise the seat?....(I am woman...)

avoid looking mean
While I can understand where you are coming from I think you may be overlooking something. Namely, we have an ever-growing 'ruling class' in this country and that is not what our republic is supposed to be about. The fact that this story is even in the press is important because people really hate the reality of their blood-sucking government so-called representatives who haven't had to work a day in their life to put food on the table.
A French whorehouse with wings!
Say no more...........
You are wrong ...let me correct you..."the Clintons were are absolute trash"
see you used past tense....
She deserves nothing of the sort and should get nothing of the sort!!!! Wasn't this the hypocrite who was going to 'clean the House"??????
You sir, are quite right! Present and not past tense, applies in their case.
I was only referencing a former USAF aircrewman's remembrance of the Klintoons. Male and female created He them!
Who were, and are, absolute and utter trash upon this earth!
Yet remaining free indeed to wreak their evil upon the rest of us, as the once and future Billary CoPresidents!
Why don't we just give Nancy Pelosi an Anatov aircraft from Aeroflot??
Are you kidding me? A bed for a 5 hour fight? She's not freakin' Elvis.
LOL Perfect illustration!
