Not to defend PeLousy, but I can remember a time running around Taegu, Korea in an Army car, with two or three enlisted assistants, looking for brass ashtrays with the Marine Corps anchor & world symbol on them.
A visiting Marine general wanted some.
alright then, ‘ow much for the chocolate covered cherries, Wonka?
But, my FRiends, I read (IIRC) and even bigger story re Pelosi and her USAF aircraft abuse.
(Caution, this needs to be fact-checked) As I recall it, Speaker Pelosi insisted that the USAF aircraft and ground personnel SALUTE her.
I suggest that both the (mercifully) former Squeaker's office AND USAF personnel be contacted for comment (and I'd love to be proven wrong on this.)
.
A new G-V costs $60 million I think. And operating costs are about $5k an hour.
Does anyone know what transportation she is using now? Is she flying commercial?
She's back to flying her broom. It's not as quick as the Air Force, and she can't exercise her authority, but it's faster than commercial. And, she is above all that groping stuff.
He won't fly commercial when he leads a Congressional delegation to the Middle East. That's at least one flight this article covers; one of the sloppy things about this article is that we don't know how many of the flights in question were back to Pelosi's district and how many were official travel.
