Pelosi Using Air Force to Chauffer Her Kids Around? (Drain the swamp Nancy?)
thefoxnation ^ | 2/1/2010 | jw

Posted on 02/01/2010 9:08:59 AM PST by milwguy

Using Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, Judicial Watch uncovered thousands of pages of travel documents related to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s use of military aircraft.

What hasn’t been revealed so far is that military aircraft are being used to shuttle Pelosi’s kids and grandkids between DC and San Francisco without any Congressional representatives even onboard! Put simply, the United States Air Force is serving as a multi-billion dollar chauffeur- and baby-sitting service for Nancy Pelosi’s kids and grandkids — presumably because commercial travel is beneath the families of the autocrats.

Full reimbursement, heavy fines and prosecution.

This is beyond an ‘ethical lapse.’

When Sarah Palin’s kids traveled at the state of Alaska’s expense, she was called a lot of names, and she repaid the money. Why is it okay for Nancy Pelosi to do the same thing and spend a whole lot more but get a pass?

Nancy Pelosi can walk right out of her office. March up to an infant in a stroller. Punch the infant in the face, go back to her office and act like nothing is wrong. AND will STILL be re-elected in SF.

This woman is the WORST person I have ever seen or heard of in politics. But yet nothing ever happens to her...UGH

The bitch has utter contempt for we underlings. She feels that she deserves anything that she can take, openly or hidden. I wonder what her hidden “benefits of the job” include. She should be impeached for using Air Force planes in this manner. It is a clear abuse of privilege.

A POX on Nancy Pelosi.

Pelosi is certainly misusing the privilege, but the reason the GOP won’t make much traction on the issue is that the practice started w/ HOP Speaker Hastert after 9/11. He claimed he needed the service so he could stay in touch in case of emergency.

I’m not defending their selfish behavior, but politically it’s an easy issue for dems to defend. Conservatives and tea partiers will get upset, but the story will not get much traction (unless there’s really serious abuse) because the media won’t carry the story and will include the dems “reasonable” explanation if they do. Thanks for the update though

Campaign to dump Pelosi in November must begin NOW using every tidbit of dirt on her. This information is a great start. Pelosi was spawned in the gutter and must be defeated there.

Our founding fathers never envisioned Congressmen going to and from Washington on jet airplanes. She should be relegated to going back and forth on a horse!

Pelosi knows there is waste in the Pentagon budget, because she has seen it first hand.

“To tell the truth, I think that one of the “prices” one should pay for being an elected official ought to be a lack of privacy....”

for 2 years of public service...their schedules and bank accounts and investments should be on-line for the eyes of their constituents. Modern technology renders it possible...and would discourage a career in “public service” ...and would effectively “term limit” representatives.

Is there no accountability for these corrupt POS politicians? I guess the fact is they are democraps and as such they answer to no one especially the taxpayer that pays for them. Our Republic lasted for 233 years and because of the stupidity of uniformed greedy taxpayers “put gas in my tank, pay my mortage etc. etc. the great American Experiment is over. :-(
