Twelve seats vs. 42. Same non-stop capability.

"It is one of the planes used regularly by Hastert, Pelosi's office and the Pentagon said."


So I guess the plane CAN make it coast to coast without refueling after all, despite Pelosi's claims to the contrary, when she used it as a reason to try to get a bigger plane.

Of course she can fly nonstop, Pelosi is so full of gas she could make it round trip.

The socialist "mainstream" newsrooms didn't want you to notice that.

It is one of the planes used regularly by Hastert

Does the plane have ejection seats for the crew?

The Gulfstream V is a very nice aircraft.

If you're stoned on pot, you can imagine a Republican acting so self-important and the MSM being this indifferent. Otherwise, the reality of a Republican acting like Queen Pelosi and getting away unscathed and without any criticism is just too silly and too unlikely. Good thing she's concerned for the environment as she spews out tons of extra fuel in the larger jet just to be sure she gets her little rump back to the plantation (i.e., the vineyard where illegal and non-union labor picks her grapes). Isn't it grand to have a woman of the people in charge?

I think the whole thing has been ridiculous from the beginning. There should never have been passed a law stating that the Speaker should have military transport for security reasons. The President deserves it. The Vice President deserves it. Nobody else in the line of succession needs it. They don't get Secret Security protection, why the need for a miltiary plane? And if the second in line of succession needs a plane for security reasons then why not the third in line? And the fouth? And the 10th? Congress should repeal this stupid idea.

People on the left think that military folks are thugs, rapists and murderers. Yet they seem happy to travel on military planes with military crews. It's odd.

"Tony Snow, on Thursday called the criticism "unfair" and the flap "a silly story."

And just what is 300,000 bucks cost one way is so unfair or silly, Tony??

Did you notice in the story how the House Sergeant at Arms took the rap for the request for the larger plane and how they said Tony Snow was all for nancy getting her plane.?

They also blamed the whole affair on Republican House members.

When the Dem machine gets rolling truth is long gone.

Remember the press Newt Gingrich got when he complained about sitting in the back of Air Force One back in 1995?
