It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey's Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey … and Corona beer.
But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for "in-flight services" – including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That's almost $1,000 per week.

Remember Dems, Pelosi thinks you're stupid too
















Taxpayers pay $101,000 for Pelosi's in-flight 'food, booze'

John Boehner charged $80,000 for golf in a 7 month period. That's more than $10,000 a month. No wonder he's so tan!

Hey..they are legends in their own mind, the elite of DC. They have to live the lifestyle of the rich and famous. We live and work to support them don't ya know !

People vote them in office..it's not like they got there any other way.
The corruption in Washington is merely a reflection of America.

NEVER. Especially when we know that liberals will always come back like you did. Don't you remember that we lived with that same kind of crap for nearly 8 full years before Obama arrived? Think and try to remember.

Yes, I'm tired of these threads. I'm tired of finding out that while average Americans are facing unemployment and an uncertain economic future our 'representatives' are living high on the hog....ON OUR DIME!!!
