Wonder if her Dim friends will mention waste of taxpayer money on this one. The last military plane I was around for the fueling of did cost some 25,000.00 to fill up. A first class ticket has to be cheaper. That and you must remember that military families can fly space avaliable on military flights. Suppose the queen or her train bearers are waiting on a flight. Will they bump the military members and families, making them pay for tickets to go see Dad before he departs for war? Will she insist that all of the mil birds be upgraded? I just can't see her and her entourage being happy in jump seats with barf bags to comfort them.Actually just read the full link. She wants to take up reins of Commander in Chief a little early. Talking luxuary jets on demand here. |

Id pay money to see her strapped in jump seat on a C-130 and have the pilot do a quick climb take off. That video would be priceless.

Anyone watch Pelosi on FOX last night. Greta Van Sustern was interviewing her and Pelosi was all about how the airplane and special favors request for her and all of her paying party contributors, friends, family and servants was just for security and how she isn't the one who started the request. How can anyone lie so much? Where are the bloggers to call her bluff? I notice that the MSM is keeping really quite about this. |

Latest Update In this latest article issued today, her queenship has received a letter stating that she will get a 'commuter' jet of the same size as the former Speaker of the House. This jet will require refueling in order to fly to CA from DC. IF, a larger jet is available she will be able to use it HOWEVER these jets are in high demand because of the war. Ohhhh, and no lobbyists or contributors may fly with her ... and family members must reimburse the US. Sounds good on the surface but the article states 'negotiations' are still in progress. Hope they keep this above board ... |

And the staff time. All she will do is to use it for Democratic fund raising just like Bill Clinton. For those of you who may not remember, he would do a fund raiser on the way to the bathroom. I have never seen a President who did so many party fund raisers on the citizens dollar. |

Pelosi is a good example of leftwing socialists. They take the best for themselves, rob the community and give hand outs to the lower masses proving how much they care for them.( redistribution of wealth.) You see it in Russia and other communist and/or socialist countries. They will suck up to any power that serves their purpose against their percieved enemies. See; Sheehan, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, some so called African American leaders, etc., going to Venezuela, and other countries and joining in the Bush bashing and America blaming. See the ones who have bascially joined in with islamoterrorists and supporters. I watch the news and that is what I see. Thanks, Duke |

It is? the former Speaker of the House did not fly on a military plane until after 9/11 and then for only official business - maybe it is a new law since 9/11 - but does not include not a craft of her choice - and it shouldn't include friends and family..... |

Well, if the one the former speaker used isn't good enough for her, give her a weed whacker and some popsicle sticks, the libs are good at making something out of almost nothing. In any case she doesn't need or deserve the one she was asking for/or was asked for her to get. Of course that is just like the extreme left of the Dim. party, they want the biggest and best for themselves as leaders, raise taxes and redistribute wealth, in order to assure the folks are beholding to them for the handouts.

bd, That's true, but he flies on planes and helicptors that are assigned to a President. Pelosi is asking for a bigger plane than is assigned to Speakers of the House, besides she can fly people on that plane too. Am I wrong there? If the refueling is the only thing the left is concerned about ? She should be able to fly enough libs on that regularly assigned plane to refuel it in mid air , thus saving the trouble of having to land to refuel, problem solved. They will still enough gas left over for them to speak with when they get to where they are going Now, I heard it mentioned that they were worried about security. What are their terrorists out to get liberals now, why mess up a good relationship ? Or is she trying to scare the American people while they fight against so much that has been done to protect all of us. Thanks, Duke |

I live in Kansas. So maybe I have a different perspective than some. However, The former Schilling AFB in Salina Kansas is billed as one of the highest use airline/airplane refueling stops in the nation due to its central location. It's a former AFB so it has a good security setup. It's out in the middle of nowhere, no offense to Salina Residents, so it ought to be easy to secure, AND it's good enough for countless American businesses, military flights, and civilian flights. I would think this means that Ms. Pelosi could very well utilize the "Commuter" plane assigned to her, and still have a reasonably safe flight. It would also give her a chance to stop and visit the backbone of America citizens who live in the surrounding area. Maybe have some CozyInn Burgers or some good Mex food at Guiterrez's. |

You know, I felt like doing a little number crunching this evening. Since the topic was Pe-loser and her mad dash for a larger aircraft, I thought a little numeric understanding would clear the air some. I thought to myself - what does it actually cost to fly her home once or twice a week in the different aircraft that are plausible for her to use. A bit of research narrowed the possibilities down to the Boeing 737 (C-40 B/C) that is used to ferry government officials about while doing their official duties and the Gulfstream V (C-37A). OK, the first thing that I discovered is that Madame Speakers excuse that she needs the larger aircraft so that she doesn't have to waste personal time on refueling stops is complete garbage. Both aircraft have about the same 5000 nm range. They vary by a few hundred miles per tank of fuel. The Gulfstream actually has more range by 500 nm than the 737! If her excuse were anything but baloney, she would be wanting to fly in the smaller craft. Now, to the specifics: Cost and energy consumption for a trip to LA for M'Lady: Miles DC/LA LA/DC = 3959.60 miles (note: Round trip mileage is within non-refueling range for both!) Hours DC/LA LA/DC = 737 - 5.2 hours Gulfstream V - 6.12 hours Simple trip cost based on cost per hour of operation: (Cost per hour considers all averaged cost factors) 737 = $53,688.44 Gulfstream V = $10,811.20 She bases her request on her desire to ferry family and friends as she travels at taxpayer expense. How does that work on the possible aircraft - the desirable Boeing 737 and the Gulfstream V? The Boeing 737 comes in two models that are used for official travel. Depending on the model and how much baggage M'lady carries, the 737 will accomodate 26 to 111 passengers. The Gulfstream V will carry 12 passengers. Not as much baggage space, I guess. M'Lady should learn to pack light! Now, we must look at the inconvenience that M'Lady causes the rest of her collegues while she hogs the biggest and the next best (AF 1 is a 747). We have only 9 737's in the inventory as of 6/5/06. That means that with what? 438 members of Congress and 100 Senators, they get one aircraft per every 60 members. If you take away one, that leaves them with one 737 for every 67 members. I'm sure that Al Gore would object to M'Lady's carbon footprint as well. The round trip in the 737 would consume 4,160 gallons of fuel where as the Gulfstream would consume a mere 2,540 gallons of fuel. Her excesses in fuel alone in a year would run a standard SUV for 112 families for a year. Well, I would type more, but I have more to do before bedtime. One last thought: If M'Lady would charge the Chinese business men and the Democratic money mills for the rides she would give them, she may have a chance at doing what the Dims always promise - BALANCE the BUDGET! That is if she doesn't just use free trips in the big Pe-Loz One to buy Republican votes on her pet projects - like the Brady Bill, gay marriage or abortion! They did outlaw free travel from the other big business vote buyers, didn't they? |

I watched a news segment this morning where da queen was taking some snips at VP Cheney about his remarks of the British troops that were leaving Iraq. Standing immediately behind her was her big buddy, Cindy Sheehan with a grin like a wave on a slop bucket. It was very apparent that da queen is lining herself up with the anti-war crowd. It was a sickening sight.
