Quit spearding lies
FACT: Pelosi’s use of a military aircraft is about security, not “personal accomodation.” It was House Sergeant at Arms Wilson Livingood who initiated inquiries into the aircraft. “I advised Speaker Pelosi that the US Air Force had made an airplane available to Speaker Hastert” following 9/11, Livingood wrote, and “I offered to call the U.S. Air Force and Department of Defense to seek clarification of the guidelines [which governed Speaker Hastert’s use of a plane].”
FACT: Pelosi’s office has already said she “will not use the plane for political travel.”
.”
FACT: Both the Washington Post and Roll Call have reported that the plane used by Speaker Hastert was too small for Pelosi since it “needs to refuel every 2,000 miles and could not make the nonstop haul to California. ‘The Air Force determined that [Pelosi’s] safety would be best ensured by using a plane that has the fuel capacity to go coast-to-coast,’” a Pelosi spokesperson said.
FACT: Pelosi’s office says “it is up to the Air Force to decide what type and size of plane will be required,” and that “she has never asked for a plane or space on a plane to accommodate ’supporters.

Since she is speaker of the house she is next in line after the vice president to be president of the United States should anything happen to George W. Therefore she is not supposed to fly on civilian flights. The last speaker of the House who was Republican did this will no fanfare. Why is it a problem now?

The reason she needs one of those BIG planes is the little ones don't have the range to make it without stopping for fuel. Her time
is precious. She can't afford to waste 20-30 minutes refueling.
Never mind the little ones would use less fuel and create less pollutants. So much for energy independance and global warming. Oh I forgot, silly me, I should have remembered Nancy is a Democrat therefore in the eyes of all those yellow dog Democrats she can do no wrong.*LOL* Oh how quickly things change once you come to power.

Another fine example of the hypocrisy is Joe Kennedy who first sides with a communist anti American and glorifies him.,Hugo Chavez.Then Joe Kennedy flies around on his private plane and rides around in his gas guzzling limo,yeah he is real concerned as well about global warming isn't he?Typical left wing hypocrisy.

It is your DUTY as a sheeple to think as you are instructed, regardless of the truth. Don't look behind the curtain, and ignore the fact that the emperor is strutting around in the buff. Shut up, pay your bills, and watch their right hand while their left picks your pocket.

Only the little people need worry about it. Politicians, movie stars, and the wealthy can drive or fly what ever they want. I thought everybody knew that by now.

Because you common people are supposed to drive a Yaris or Prius or Civic Hybred. We in the ruling class are small in number, so we don't destroy the ozone as much as you peons.

why do common people worry about jets when they should be worried about freedom denying laws passed without debate?

Let her have the jet and let Deval have the chopper.
Just reject their socialist agenda.
