Pelosi Made Repeated Requests for Military Aircraft, Documents Show – FOXNews.com — Heaven forbid she does not at least try to show some restraint in bad economic times.
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.”
Pelosi’s office disputed the claim, pointing to White House policy enacted after the Sept. 11 attacks allowing for the House speaker to travel to his or her congressional district via military aircraft whenever possible for security reasons. Her office said she typically uses the same kind of aircraft used by her predecessor, Dennis Hastert.
But Judicial Watch said that Pelosi was notorious for making special demands for high-end aircraft, lodging last-minute cancellations and racking up additional expenses for the military.

So what is your point? That you just discovered how to post a link?
If there is something relevant to back up your comment then please reference it, not the entire piece of bullshit. Quit expecting others to do your research for you.
Mr Fusion,
I stand corrected at Hastert using them prior to Princess Pelosi asking for hers.

I’m sorry, I didn’t intend for you to attempt to read it. I know you have a problem with big words. In the future please don’t read links I post. It will just frustrate you.
#41, Mr. Diesel,
I stand corrected at Hastert using them prior to Princess Pelosi asking for hers.
OK. I am laughing at your witty comeback. Very good sir.

OK
This is total hypocrisy from someone who claims to care about global warming.

Calling a liberal a hypocrite is redundant.
#44 Fusion:
I ignore your posts because of the childish name-calling of Paddy. I can’t be alone.
#44, OK
Now that was funny, I don’t care who you are.
#47, brm,

Thank you.
You might not be alone, but if you and Cow-Patty were in a room together, you would be.
Followed link in #39 and looked at some of documents, specifically Air Force weekly travel reports. Many but not all of these identify the party affiliations of members on these flights. I don’t remember a single republican listed as flying with her, even on overseas trips or trips to view flooding in IA, rebuilding efforts in New Orleans, etc.
Do the republicans fly Navy? Are there no republicans needing to fly to San Francisco for the weekends? Or do they never, ever get a seat on a plane with Pelosi?
#51 – She doesn’t allow Repubs to fly with her.
#51, Cap’n,
Judicial Watch only published the negative paperwork, not the paper work for everyone. It is the Speaker’s office that handles transportation requests from ALL members.
