Why not let them travel by ultra-lights? The combination glider/lawnmower engine aircraft is more green friendly anyway. That should please their tree hugging extremist associates.

It could all be about splitting hairs BUT there actually was a House Amendment by Rep Cantor of VA to the 2007 Advanced Fuels Infrastructure Research and Development Act (H.R. 547) by a vote of 385-23 to publicly rebuke House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s demand to have regular use of a luxurious C-32 for flights to her San Francisco home and other official trips.

As originally reported in the New York Post, the aircraft has a game room, stateroom, showers, a communications center and seats 42 to 50 people and it costs taxpayers $22,000 an hour to operate, according to the Air Force.

“The request by Speaker Pelosi to have a private jumbo-jet is an extravagance that taxpayers should not have to pay for,” said Cantor.

Pelosi is a multi-millionair, user greedy person, who thinks she is a queen, but in reality is a queen, this is just another minor situation, that shows how our government rules over the American people, the people get what they vote for, and they voted for our wolf Pelosi in wolf’s clothing, in the (liberal) future we will all work ( slave) for the govs, I just hope they give us more beef instead of so much rice

Why the hell are our tax dollars paying for an open bar for ANYONE in the government? Kitty Dukakis is spinning in Autozone right now for crying out loud.

If you can’t get there in a G-V, you don’t need to go.

“Fat mouth Murtha’s (traitor PA) link from ABC in the link provided above under “threats” has suddenly evaporated from ABC’s archives…”

They do seem to have moved the article for some reason.

But the new link now works.

Yeah DEZ …..ABC saw that they might have something in their archives that would make their masters unhappy when they read this thread, and POOF! It’s history. At least from here it is….

How slimy can you get? To pretend that Pelosi had nothing to do with it because everything was done by her minions is the most childish kind of evasion. FactCheck should rename itself to something more accurate – like Equivocators-R-Us. This is “definition of IS” stuff.

Classic Pelosi. She must think she’s historical material, too.
Too bad about factcheck.

The Gulfstream V (aka G-V, C37) is a nice bird – but I can’t say I’d want to go coast-to-coast in one…

And flying from DC to Williamsburg? Do you ever level off? Holy cow!
