The Speaker Shuttle service’s Friends & Family Program « Hot Air
That's right, the one who claimed she would lead the most ethical Washington ever, was not only traveling in style but opened up to family and friends.

It’s good to be King — or in this case,
Queen. CBS probes the use of taxpayer-funded charter jets by Nancy Pelosi and finds that the Speaker likes to travel in style — and that she’s not the only one. Call this the Family & Friends program, all on our dime:
Today, Speaker Pelosi (D-CA) regularly uses the military jets to travel to and from California, where she lives. Nine years after Sept. 11, her office says the service is still necessary for security reasons.
Yet security concerns were not cited by Assistant Defense Secretary Robert Wilkie when he discussed the shuttle service in 2007. The military shuttle support would be provided “as a courtesy in recognition of your position as Speaker of the House,” says a letter from Wilkie to Pelosi on Feb. 7, 2007.
It continues: “Since the plan for continuity of the Presidency does not include routine use of military airlift for the Speaker of the House, this support is provided without any specific basis to your standing as Presidential successor or position in the line of succession.”

The dopes in her district must be all hopped up on drugs or just plain stupid to re-elect her time and time again. But then again, there is actually 20-something percent of the population that actually approves of Pelosi. It should be less than 10, but sadly, there are people who call themselves liberals out there. A liberal, a person with a mental disorder known as liberalism, is the only type of fool that could ever support someone like Pelosi.
I have a dream. I dream that Pelosi, Frank, Reid, Boxer all get voted out. Yes, its not likely at all but in a perfect world where common sense ruled, they would not have a chance in an election. Good thing for them, they are in districts filled with addicts, common sense-challenged, ignorant, celebrity worshipping, leeching fools.
