Title: Speaker Pelosi Uses USAF As Her Own Private Airline
Post by: tt11758 on March 10, 2009, 03:18:22 PM: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03/10/study-pelosi-repeated-requests-military-aircraft/

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly requested military aircraft to shuttle her and her colleagues and family around the country, according to a new report from a conservative watchdog group.

Representatives for Judicial Watch, which obtained e-mails and other documents from a Freedom of Information request, said the correspondence shows Pelosi has abused the system in place to accommodate congressional leaders and treated the Air Force as her "personal airline."

The e-mails showed repeated attempts by Pelosi aides to request aircraft, sometimes aggressively, and by Department of Defense officials to accommodate them.

"I think that's above and beyond what other members of Congress are doing and what is expected of our elected officials," said Jenny Small, a researcher with the group.

The group reported that Pelosi was notorious for making special demands for high-end aircraft, lodging last-minute cancellations, and racking up additional expenses for the military.

In one e-mail, aide Kay King complained to the military that they had not made available any aircraft the House speaker wanted for Memorial Day recess.

"It is my understanding there are NO G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable ... The Speaker will want to know where the planes are," King wrote.

In another, when told a certain type of aircraft would not be available, King wrote: "This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset Speaker."
Pelosi's office has not yet responded to requests for comment.

Why the hell can't San Fran Nan fly commercial like the people who PAY for her frickin flights?!?

I feel a rant coming on.

Oh the hypocrisy of those fools belligerently chastising the Auto execs for flying on private planes when they do so themselves day in and day out for about 5 times the cost.

No one said anything about Obama, Air Force One comes with the job, like the custom chair for the Oval Office.
Last time I saw a picture Pelosi, Reid, and their co conspirators were mainly white.

That much goes without saying, ufortuneatly its a bi-partisan traditon. Newt, the great budget hawk, liked to fly on our dime, A Lot, so did Hastert. Its amzing how quickly things become a necessity when someone else is paying.
