Looks like she's using the Air Force as her own personal airline.
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.It seems that she's pissed off because the Air Force has told her it has no G5s available for the Memorial Day weekend.
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 G5 is the Gulfstream V aircraft, also known as a C-37A. It looks like this:
It's a nice ride. Still, she doesn't deserve anything like that. If I were the Air Force general in charge of Speaker Pelosi's transportation, what I'd give her would be more in line with something like this:
I'd park a raggedy J3 at Andrews and paint her name on the window. It would be available to her at any time.
Apparently her broom isn't suitable?
ReplyDeleteHer Blinkyness's Official Speaker's broom is only a two seater.

Oh come-on. She should at least rate an old Huey. Give her something with a main rotor vibration big enough to shake her teeth loose (and cause her kidneys to fail). I admit the J3 would be almost as fast, but I think the J3 would get better range for each fill up.
ReplyDeleteAnd since she's only the speaker of the house, she should have to pay the cost out of her budget, so the Huey would help us spend her money.
