WASHINGTON - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has gone from frequent flier to jet-aircraft connoisseur, with aides berating military officials to get the best planes, e-mails revealed yesterday
Pelosi, who clashed with the military to get nonstop service when she flies home to California with police protection on government planes, revealed a particular fondness for Gulfstream's sleek G-5 - a plane glamorized in Hollywood films and rap videos.
"It is my understanding there are no G-5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable . . . The speaker will want to know where the planes are," a Pelosi aide wrote in an angry e-mail to the military.
In another, the same aide wanted the plane for a House delegation when the fleet was being used for senators and Cabinet members.
"This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset speaker," the e-mail said.

Pelosi needs to resign. There has to be a campaign to get rid of this slime bag.
I await Obama’s and Al Gore’s condemnation of this jet-setter’s spending of the people’s money and pollution of the precious atmosphere.
She's become inflicted with that disease typical with Democrats: insanity. Needs a strait jacket and a rubber room, but must be swept away from DC where she, with all the others, are ruling and ruining our lives and our nation.
I would support a coup
Soon the military will be wondering . . . just who is the Commander in Chief?
Oh....My......Lord!! For heaven's sake, just WHO does this woman think she is?!!!
She’s really on thin ice, especially after being the biggest “culture of corruption” accuser in ‘06. It would be mighty tough to beat her in San Fran but we ought to be able to marginalize her and get the Dems to consider someone else for leadership.
I see that you and I share the same take on this. Incredible isn’t it? I think her trolley has jumped the tracks.
I was sure it had to be a John Semmens post.
You bought Nancy Pelosi a plane ride.
Shall I suggest "Blue's Image" classis "Mystery Ship" as a base.
"Ride, Nancy Ride upon your G5 Ship"
Paul Shanklin are you doing your show prep ? :-)....
Well for one she obviously doesn't realize who Memorial day is for....
The thing most worrying to me is that Miss Nan isn’t all that bright, just street smart. And something of a bully.
Congressional and Executive Democrats: do as we say and not as we do, with respect to taxes, carbon footprints, and taking advantage of the perqs and privileges of rank. They feel they are not accountable to anyone. Time it disabuse them of that notion.
The woman and her thieves need to walk across the real America..
BARF
I wonder what "Mr. Sustainability" thinks about his Congresswoman's carbon-spewing private jets...
This perq costs the taxpayer several times Speaker Pelosi’s salary every year.
