Comments on: Pelosi Jet Request Sparks Debate

Does Size Matter When It Comes To Speaker's Military Jet? Republicans Say Yes

[c3227ahb]

How come the media won't mention the simple fact that the Gulfstreame III military version (C-20) has a range -20B, 4,250 miles (3,698 nautical miles) long-range; C-20H, 4,850 miles (4,220 nautical miles) long range? Driving, not flying from Washington D.C. Dulles airport to San Francisco's airport is 2,819 miles; that means the aircraft is more than capable of making the flight.

Her argument that she only needs the Boeing 757 for its range doesn't hold water but it appears the Media will hold that water for her by answering this most basic question. In addition this was the same aircraft used by Dennis Hassert.

What arrogance, for that woman and the media to think everyone is that stupid. But, I guess she knows the media won't report the real story.

Let them eat cake!

Unbelievable!


You need to be intellectually

What size Carbon Footprint do you suppose she will be leaving with this bad boy flying all over the place at $15,000/hour? Do you think her environmentalist whacko supporters will giver her a pass on this if they get to ride in it to some Eco-rally?

No, this is not the worse.
The worst is yet to come.

[alfreeland]

So eager to believe the worst. Get the full story first,knee jerk reactionaries.

[tibu987]

Here it comes,
the loss of pre-election altruism.
The arrogance, megalomania, egotism, the "my ivory tower is bigger than your ivory tower" mentality.
Why I do not believe there is any difference between the Dems and the Repubs when it comes to corruption and power.
Harry Reid in charge of the ethics committee, duh!
The "now is the time to rant and rave" about all things for the quest of Washington status.
The same old story, just a few new faces.
Why do you think that these people want to stay in Washington feeding at the public trough for so many years; who else in the world has it so good.
Betcha Pelosi gets her plane, Pelosi 1.
And so it goes.

"not willing to give up perks"

You put that in quotes, indicating she said it word for word. When did she say this?

[rray52]

My plane is bigger than your plane

[one_american]

Fancy Pants Nancy says she is "not willing to give up perks".

This is no surprise, folks.

But is this what the people really voted for????

Pelosi is just another liberal demonstrating that they are always the exception to all the rules...
