If Brown had voted NAY, would he have had to walk home?

guess Queen Pelosi’s plane was down for maintenance.

Queen Bee Pelosi's plane is taking her and cohorts on a week long European tour. They left today (Friday 13). I believe Drudge had an item on it.

I’m suprised Barack (piss be upon him) didn’t command the senator to delay his mother’s funeral like The One did with his “Typical white person” granny.

Queen Pelosi has a 767 at her beck and call

The Air Force doesn't have any 767s and you need to do some reading

During the past three or so weeks I’ve seen more abuse of power from the obama administration than I could ever imagine. Talk about the enemy of the state. There is a total disregard of the Constitution by obama and his progressive caucus comrades in the house. I don’t believe the so-called blue dogs are conservative about anything after seeing them vote in favor of the spending bill.

We have to mobilize and get conservatives elected in 2010.

“I’M SCREAMING BECAUSE THIS IS HUGE!”

“I just kept seeing gas and corporate jets and it was flying right over everyone’s head it seemed.”

It’s not unprecedented and it’s not illegal. Perhaps you can cite the specific Act or law that has been violated. All I see is a hypocritical White House and some possible bad PR but as you pointed out, I’m not particularly bright.

I am more angry at the 3 sell outs - without them this would not pass.

Yes, the ruling class had a rough week destroying capitalism. They deserve a European Holiday.

Time for them to spend those greenbacks while they're worth more than the paper they're printed on.

So much for the separation of powers. We live in a fascist state.

Party first, re-election second...country comes in around ten or eleven.

Exactly right.The issue isn’t the gas spent on a one passenger mission, it is the Executive Branch directly facilitating a critical Legislative function. In the past even the worst Presidents would have known that it was just wrong. The music has died.

#1. Dear Leader and Community-Organizer-in-Chief-for-Life Barack Obama, list of offenses building rapidly
#2. James Buchanan, chose not to respond to the start of the Civil War
#3. Bill Clinton, perjury, abuse of power, and related offenses
#4. Richard Nixon, burglary and abuse of power

I expected the Affirmative Action "president" to make the top of the list of the worst leaders in our country's history, but not quite so quickly. Obama has now wasted more money in a few weeks than Bush did in his first 7 1/2 years. He has trampled the enumerated powers, the separation of powers, and the fundamentals under which the United States was formed. The scary part is that I think he's just getting warmed up - the big crimes against humanity are still in his future.

This is why we need a conservative party and the GOP is liberal lite.

I'd put Jimbo Carter at #3 on your list. At least. The Dear Leader hasn't passed Buchanan yet, but he's getting close. After only three weeks.

And Nixon? He had the decency to resign and shut-up, so I think he's moving toward the middle of the pack.

“corporate jets as wasteful spending by corporations...”
Not to mention the great damage is costing to the environment, well, not a “biggie,” that’s the price we must paid for the Messiah.

The plane is being provided by the White House, Brown's office said, because the vote is considered "official business"

Separation of Powers is now out the window.

Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio

And his name will live in infamy.

For my senator, who Bill O’Reilly said was a “left wing nut.” Thanks, Ohio.
