Question : Did you hear about the Queen of liberals?
The airplane that the Air Force wanted to give Nancy Pelosi is the Gulfstream III. There's a GIII, GIV, GV, or 450 and 550 now. The Gulfstream III will travel eight hours. It will go 4,000 miles without having to stop to fuel. It will seat 12 people.But the idea that they put Nancy Pelosi on a plane that will not go coast to coast is just not true. She's holding out for what essentially is a Boeing 757, which is what the vice president gets and the first lady on certain trips, and that's what she wants. Hastert did not get that. Hastert got the GIII. They could put her on the equivalent of a GIV, which would go nine hours. They could put her on a GV. I've seen government GVs in Vail. Various cabinet secretaries will fly around in those things, and a GV will go from New York to Tokyo nonstop, but they're not putting her on something that will not go California-New York nonstop or vice-versa. If they're stopping, it's for some other reason than the plane will not make it. Just trust

Answer #5
T^he real reason she needs such a big plane is to hold her ego. Gulfstreams are WAY too small. I'm surprised she doesn't get a C-5A Galaxy.

Answer #10
I think she will use the bigger plane to help with campaigns in 2008. It will allow her to easily fly around all of her friends' hippy campaign workers.

Okay, one more time. WASHINGTON -- The White House on Thursday defended House Speaker Nancy Pelosi against Republican criticism that her desire to fly in an Air Force transport plane is an extravagance.Criticism of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's request for a military jet to transport her and her staff between Washington and California "is a silly story and I think it's been unfair to the speaker," White House spokesman Tony Snow said Thursday."After September 11th, the Department of Defense -- with the consent of the White House -- agreed that the Speaker of the House should have military transport," Snow saidThe House Sargeant In Arms-who has been there for 12 years-has been the one to both ask for and negotiate.

Answer #15
Quit spearding liesFACT: Pelosi’s use of a military aircraft is about security, not “personal accomodation.” It was House Sergeant at Arms Wilson Livingood who initiated inquiries into the aircraft. “I advised Speaker Pelosi that the US Air Force had made an airplane available to Speaker Hastert” following 9/11, Livingood wrote, and “I offered to call the U.S. Air Force and Department of Defense to seek clarification of the guidelines [which governed Speaker Hastert’s use of a plane].”FACT: Pelosi’s office has already said she “will not use the plane for political travel.”.” FACT: Both the Washington Post and Roll Call have reported that the plane used by Speaker Hastert was too small for Pelosi since it “needs to refuel every 2,000 miles and could not make the nonstop haul to California. ‘The Air Force determined that [Pelosi’s] safety would be best ensured by using a plane that has the fuel capacity to go coast-to-coast,’” a Pelosi spokesperson said.FACT: Pelosi’s office says “it is up to the Air Force to decide what type and size of plane will be required,” and that “she has never asked for a plane or space on a plane to accommodate ’supporters.

I believe you. Just because she is having someone else do the dirty work doesn't mean Pelosi is innocent.
