the C-20 could fly to Hastert's Aurora, Ill., district, which is slightly more than 700 miles from Washington, D.C., without stopping to refuel...

I see Pelosi's mistake now.

Hastert was able to make it home in just a couple of hours, but Pelosi's trip would take 6 hours, which isn't fair. She should be able to be home in the same time that her predecessor took. Therefore, Pelosi needs an orbital flight that can get her home in under two hours, too.

...or she needs the SR-71 that GHWB used to negotiate the hostage release back in 1980 (remember that moldy-oldy from Carter's Iran-Hostage Crisis?). If I'm not mistaken the Blackbird could crank out a coast to coast in 90 minutes. Course San Fran Nan would need an immediate Botox treatment after each flight.
