You hear "Sarah Palin" and it's like a dog whistle.
Wait, who are we talking about again?
You hear "Sarah Palin" and it's like a dog whistle.
And yet she still has a higher favorable rating than Johnny boy.
Great news for everyone wanting monochrome images of Boehner's junk.
I don't like it.Okay, that's good for him. My point was that Pelosi's air accommodations were similar to her predecessor (except that she needed a plane with longer range to reach CA), and that those accommodations came from President Bush. If you don't like it, that's fine. It's not unique to her though.
While I normally don't read werepossum I ran across this.
I suspect the images of boehner's junk will be orange, even in a monochrome system.
I don't like it.
BTW...you previously said "You realize that the requirements for Nancy Pelosi's travel were put into place by President Bush after September 11th, right?"
FYI...the Speaker is NOT required to use military jets...Bush's Executive Order on 9/14 only authorizes their use.

Wasn't Pelosi was one of the loudest critics when automobile CEOs flew to DC in their private jets? This woman is a piece of work.Honestly the liquor bill bothers me more, that and sending military jets to shuttle her family members. I accept that I owe her as Speaker a jet capable of making the trip home in one hop. I do NOT accept that I owe her and her massive entourage a buzz on the way. That needs to come from her own millions.
I don't like it.

When you car company is failing and you need money from the government to keep afloat, yeah, you bet your ass you're going to get criticized for it. This is on the same level as coming to work in a Ford when you work for GM.Wasn't Pelosi was one of the loudest critics when automobile CEOs flew to DC in their private jets?

Is it stupid to criticize her for using a military jet to taxi her family and friends around WITHOUT her present?You are correct, actually that recommendation came from the House's sergeant at arms, the guy responsible for the security of the Speaker. In addition, she utilized government travel resources to a significantly smaller extent than her predecessor.
I don't see why any of this matters though, my only point was that to call Pelosi out specifically for that was stupid, as it was not behavior unique to her.
Proof that the people in Washington, D or R, just don't get it. They don't care about anything except getting elected again.
Pelosi did not do anything to advance the United States as a whole, nor has any elected official in decades. DECADES.
If you need any proof, look out the window, we have record high unemployment (which has been climbing for a lot longer than Obama has been in the White House), we have jobs leaving the country in droves, we have so much trouble in this country that I can't even believe it, and still the politicians only want to pad their own pockets.

When your government is failing and you need money from The People to keep afloat, yeah, you bet your ass you're going to get criticized for it. This is on the same level as having huge deficit, trying to raise taxes and yet spending 10s of millions of The People's money on your personal transportation.
Is it stupid to criticize her for using a military jet to taxi her family and friends around WITHOUT her present?
Is it stupid to criticize her for racking up HUGE bar tabs at the tax payers expense?
Is it stupid to point out her hypocrisy when she blasts CEOs for using private jets to fly to DC?
Was this behavior not unique to her?
Yeah...they should have drove. Meanwhile it's OK for Pelosi to fly her family and friends anywhere they want...with an open bar to boot...with the government so deeply in debt?When you car company is failing and you need money from the government to keep afloat, yeah, you bet your ass you're going to get criticized for it.

If you don't like it, that's fine. However I do agree with your implication...there are many things to criticize Pelosi for.Of all the things to complain about Pelosi for, this is dumb.

Mr. Ross,
We saw your analysis of the recent Pelosi flight documents Judicial Watch obtained from the Air Force.
Double-checking, we found documents we obtained last year on this issue. The other documents seem to show that the Speaker was on most if not all of the flights in question.
... it looks like she was, at least, on the flights with them.

A.) She represented her district just fine, B.) if other people didn't, that's their fault, not her.
You don't appear to know what the Speaker's job is. (we'll just add that on to the things you talk about that you don't know) The Speaker's job is to get legislation passed through the House, and she was enormously effective at that.
The blind cannot see. But switch the (R) and (D) letters behind their names...and things suddenly become magically different.I dont think he thought his statement through before he typed it. He let his blind support for Pelosi cloud his judgement.
Meanwhile Boehner will continue to fly back and forth to his district on commercial aircraft. The 'good ol' days of $100,000 bar tabs are over.
