Nancy Pelosi: Liberalism at it's Best

Nancy Pelosi wants a huge airplane so she can fly coast to coast without stopping to refuel - she is demanding a Boeing 737 airliner with a bedroom - what in the world is going on here? Does Nancy think she is running the country now? Does Nancy think she deserves all the best? She say it's that damn Bush that's blocking her demand for the good life - heh heh

We all know what is happening - the liberals finally have the power, the power that has been denied them for seven years and now they have they are going to use it and abuse it. Money is no object - the stupid tax payers will foot the bill as they always have and always will.

But for the speaker of the house to demand a huge airplane to be put at her disposal is a bit much even for a liberal socialist like her. She says it's so when she wants or needs to get back to California to rip someone off or cut a deal with some off-shore canneries for her husbands business, she can do what needs to be done and then get back to Washington to control the flow of money into Democrat pockets and smile while she continues to screw America to the wall.

I guess the best thing for now is to do is nothing - these people will show us who they are and what they are about - Nancy is just the first to step up to the plate and take a good swing at the ball. There are many that will follow in her foot steps. Their greed and lust for power will tip their hand.

Nancy Pelosi Wants Bedroom on her Jet

Critics charge that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is abusing the perks of power by asking for a jumbo military jet with sleeping accommodations for her flights across the country.

After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Pentagon agreed to provide the speaker, who is second in the line of presidential succession, with a military plane for added security during trips back home.
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, an Illinois Republican, flew in a small commuter-sized Air Force jet.

Pelosi wants a larger aircraft that can fly to her San Francisco district without stopping to refuel.
Some sources are claiming that Pelosi demanded access to the C-32, which seats 45 and has a stateroom for the primary passenger, a conference facility, an entertainment system and three convertible beds.

But the Los Angeles Times reports that the military passenger plane that can make a cross-country flight in any weather and also provide the communications needed to stay in contact with the White House is the C-40, which is described by the Air Force as an "office in the sky.”

Derived from the Boeing 737-700C, it can seat up to 120 passengers and has beds and two galleys.
Pelosi’s spokesman Brendan Daly acknowledged that the speaker has asked if family and friends can fly with her on business travel.

Some Republicans are raising a stink over Pelosi’s moves. "Flying Lincoln bedroom,” Minority Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri said in story appearing in the Washington Times.
"Pelosi One” said Rep. Patrick T. McHenry of North Carolina in the same article.
But spokesman Daly said the flap was "ridiculous.”

And Pelosi herself told the media on Wednesday that the request for the plane "has nothing to do with family and friends and everything to do with security. It’s a question of distance.”

She also said that she only wanted - as a female speaker of the house - what any male speaker of the house has had. But most people do not fly cross-country with a bedroom.
Curiously, Pelosi has suggested that the Bush administration was behind the flap, the Los Angeles Times reported.

"The ... misrepresentation could [only] be coming from the administration, and one would only have to wonder why,” Pelosi said, even though White House Press Secretary Tony Snow says the speaker is not asking for anything unreasonable, that the whole affair is much ado about nothing, and that the military and the speaker are working things out.

According to the Air Force, at least 21 people can request the use of the C-40s, and there are only four of the aircraft available. Potential users include the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Cabinet secretaries. The planes are also used to fly congressional delegations to military theaters.

A senior Defense Department official said the aircraft Pelosi would be offered could sometimes include the larger plane.
