The "Auntie" who would be queen gets rebuffed !! OUCH!!

From the WT:

"Pentagon limits Pelosi jet size"

The Department of Defense yesterday sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that puts limits on the size of the plane she may use to travel across the country and restricts the guests she can bring, The Washington Times has learned.
A congressional source who read the letter signed by Assistant Secretary of Defense Robert Wilkie said it essentially limits her to the commuter plane used by former Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, which requires refueling to travel from Washington to Mrs. Pelosi's San Francisco district. A second source, in the Bush administration, confirmed the contents of the letter.
The Washington Times first reported last week that Mrs. Pelosi's staff was pressing the Department of Defense for an Air Force aircraft large enough to fly nonstop to San Francisco. She also has pressed to be able to include other members of the California congressional delegation, her family members and her staff on the plane.
"It's not a question of size. It's a question of distance," Mrs. Pelosi told reporters yesterday. "We want an aircraft that can reach California."

There's a dozen types of planes that can reach California. She wants a damn flying office building. In the scheme of things it doesn't really matter but her request is ridiculous.

Power. POWER. It's all about power. The ones who want to take away yours always want to get the most for themselves.

Were she and Hillary room-mates in college or something??

She's just getting warmed up, but the Bush Haters love her so she can do no wrong, she really believes she is the "New Queen" of America.

no, you quite obviously hate the Democrat who sins.... not that anyone is really surprised, despite your incessant whining about "coming together" and to "stop the partisan bickering in order to move forward".... here you are "weighing in" on democrats at every chance...

another shining example of how you're easily the most profound hypocrite on this message board... but for the grace of God, please go

Now Tony Snow (that's the White House spokesman) is saying that Pelosi and her office weren't even involved in the negotiations and that the request came from the House Seargent-At-Arms.

BelichickFan

Yeah, I bet that's true More like the White House trying to throw Pelosi a bone.

Pujo

Now why would they do that? Because they're nice, forgiving people, or because one hand washes the other?

Real World

Well, if the plane was good for Hastert, then it should be good enough for Pelosi. The only thing I'll say is that Hastert was from the midwest, whereas Pelosi is from California. So did Hastert have to refuel going home? Sure it's the same plane, but did Hastert have to succumb to the same inconvenience of having to refuel? I say that if he didn't have to, then she shouldn't have to. Also though, there is no way that her family and friends should be flying on a taxpayer funded plane. No politicians family should. I like that who can fly is restricted. It should be for everybody.
