Demo-Rat Queen Hypocrite Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi would have us all believe her priorities are energy conservation and renewable energy. She would have us all believe she empathises with the FACT that Americans are being financially devastated at the pump. The FACT that Americans are having to cut back on things like dental appointments (according to my dentist) and many other necessities, yet Democratic Speaker of the House not only snubs American workers and environmentalist but she takes it all a step further placing herself far above the very people she is supposed to be representing.

"A request made by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for use of a military
plane that can fly to and from her home district in San Francisco without having
to stop to refuel, told ABC News that the Pentagon has rebuffed Pelosi's
request."

What does or how does she fly now? Could it be commercial aviation? Sharing the carbon footprint of the flight? Could she be fiscally frugal and flying coach or maybe enjoying the perks of the office and flying 1st class? Surely she is supporting working flight attendants and aircraft mechanics and aircraft inspectors and pilots and air traffic control workers and airline clerical workers, aircraft cleaners and many more working Americans. Or she could be flying a private C-20, the military version of the Gulf Stream 3 business jet, a twin-engine turbo-fan aircraft that seats 12 passengers and a private crew of five. Yep its the private plane, she doesn't want to be associated with real people, except when she is asking for your vote. Obviously she is more important than the carbon footprint each of those flights creates. Obviously she is more important that all those working Americans her 1st class flights would help assure employment to.

"I want an aircraft that will reach California," Pelosi told reporters Wednesday
afternoon, insisting that she doesn't care what kind of plane it is as long as
it can fly nonstop to her home district. "

"Just a month into the new Democratic majority, we are talking about the costs
of an arrogance of office," said Republican Conference Chairman Adam Putnam of
Florida at a briefing for reporters Tuesday. "The same week she is talking about
fiscal responsibility, she is requesting a jumbo jet to taxi her back and forth
from her district, something that is a major deviation from the previous
speaker. Certainly, it is the interest of someone who is in the presidential
succession to have access to a secure aircraft, but this is not a routine
military charter flight. This is Air Force Three."

I see a distinct difference between having access to a special aircraft, for times of heightened security etc., and using one routinely. Have any of these yahoo's flown commercial aviation recently? Heck you almost have to get completely undressed at security these days. I have to take off any blazer and/or any over shirt, belt, shoes. Shoes in one bin, briefcase in another bin, clothing in another bin, laptop in another bin. All goes down the conveyor through the x-ray machine and I follow through the metal detector. Then at the end I get the privilege to get re-dressed in public from all my bins. If it is safe enough for everyday Americans why is it not safe enough for Pelosi on regular flights to and from Washington?


Wait, wait read what about a fellow Democrat threatening the Department of Defense over friend Nancy Pelsoi's request for a bigger aircraft to ferry her between California and Washington.

Late Wednesday afternoon, one of Pelosi's closest allies in the House, Rep. John
Murtha, D-Penn., chairman of the key Appropriations Committee subcommittee on defense, told CNN that the Pentagon was making "a mistake" by leaking
information unfavorable to the speaker "since she decides on the allocations for
the Department of Defense."
