The following are a few highlights from the documents, which are linked in full below: * In response to a series of requests for military aircraft, one Defense Department official wrote, “Any chance of politely querying [Pelosi's team] if they really intend to do all of these or are they just picking every weekend?…[T]here’s no need to block every weekend ‘just in case’…” The email also notes that Pelosi’s office had, “a history of canceling many of their past requests.” * One DOD official complained about the “hidden costs” associated with the speaker’s last minute changes and cancellations. “We have…folks prepping the jets and crews driving in (not a short drive for some), cooking meals and preflighting the jets etc.”… * The documents also detail correspondence from intermediaries for Speaker Pelosi issuing demands for certain aircraft and expressing outrage when requested military planes were not available. “It is my understanding there are no G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable…The speaker will want to know where the planes are…” wrote Kay King, Director of the House Office of Interparliamentary Affairs. In a separate email, when told a certain type of aircraft would not be available, King writes, “This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset [s]peaker.”
Leona Helmsley’s clone.
I agree

Queen Nancy...
Let Bugeyes walk, take a Train or Fly Pigeon Class! Only 149,000 Yokels out of 400000000 people voted for this numb nuts, so what if she is third inline, if something happens to Bugeyes, they go to Number 4, then 5, then 6 and everyone wont be any worse than ZERO! PUT BUGEYS in a C 141! Its good enough for Our Military so tell Bugeyes to squat down like everybody else and Shutup!
Hey, there isnt a dam thing we can do about this crap. Were doomed!
The GOP needs to start running against Pelosi for the House in 2010 - now.
Please dont demean Leona like that! Leona was a real Broomstick, but she couldn’t hold a match to Piglousey!
Cruella Pelosi.
Your right, now. But there is no one with the ball’s to stand up in the well with this info. and scream about it. We have outlets, more than enough. We also have elected cowards. More than enough.
Hey Pelousy! Maybe the G5's are being used to support the WOT effort that you were so opposed to you useless hack bi+ch. All we've heard for years from you and your staff of imbeciles is "Bush lied. People died." So why would you claim now to believe the Bush security team that forced you onto the Gulfstreams? I guess it's okay that "Bush lied so Pelosi flied."
2 each VC-25 (747) "Air Force 1" aircraft
5 each C-20B (Gulfstream G III and G IV)
4 each C-32 (757-200) Pelosi's personal aircraft
4 each C-37A (Gulfstream V)
and 4 each C-40B/C (737-700).
And these are the same a$$holes that berate the use of corporate aircraft! Will advise if I get a response from Charlie Dent.
Only the little people fly business class...
Judicial Watch and not the Slobbering Media broke this.
Naturally.
She’s a pompous bitch. I spell it like it’s supposed to be spelled.
They need to use her for a wind test dummy for paradrops.
No need to waste a chute on her, just give her a broom and let her figure it out.
Give her a parachute and chuck her off the plane.
My Lord, if the GOP had any gonads at all, they’ve just been handed an issue that’ll break open the 2010 elections.
