*MADAME PELOSI* Madame Pelosi wasn't happy with the small private jet that comes with the Speaker's job...no, Madame Pelosi was aggravated that this little jet had to Stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat 200 seat jet that could get her Back to California without stopping! Many, many legislators walked by and grinned with glee as Joe informed Everyone that's Nancy's Big Fat Jet costs us, the hard working American Tax payers, thousands of gallons of fuel every week. Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and She flies home to California, cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000, one Way! As Joe put it, 'Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday Night.' Cost to us another $60,000. Folks, that is $480,000 per month and that is an annual cost to the taxpayers Of $5,760,000. No wonder she complains about the cost of this war...it might Cramp her style and she is styling, on my back and yours. I think of the military families in this country doing without and this woman, Who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of this country, Keeps fueling that jet while doing nothing. Madame Pelosi wants you and me to conserve our carbon footprint. She Wants us to buy smaller cars . Keep in mind the figures above do NOT include cost of plane or crew,Just fuel!
http://www.snopes.com/politics/pelosi/jet.asp Turns out she gets the aircraft, but not for the stated reasons. I still don't like it. Our fine DHS should sell the extra seats to offset the cost.
I think they should make the biatch walk from Cali to DC....that way by the time she gets there, she'll be too tired and exhausted to think about her liberal agendas.......
The reason congress has such a long recess after thanksgiving is so the horse and buggy could get them all back to their district in time for the holidays. FYI LMFAO, valk love the little smiley dude!!!
Why do I have to pay to travel to and from work out of my own pocket, it maybe a great idea for our leaders to start paying as they go, fly, ride the train, bus or even drive their own car that they have to pay for the fuel and up keep of themselves and not have the government pay their way for them, with out hard earned tax money. just another silly suggestion from someone who has had enough of their stupidity, or is it our stupidity for tolerating this sh!t.

These people pass far too many laws as it is, they should only be required to come in twice a year and accept the pay cuts which the economy demands. I am just fine with fewer laws and less spending. But that's not ever going to become a reality.
Hello everyone, I just signed on to the web site. Concerning Pelosi and the jet, you know what the sad thing is????? She said: "In the interest of security, she didn't want to fly on a jet that had to stop for fuel." A Gulfstream G-5. I fly Gulfstreams for a living. A Gulfstream G-5 can fly non-stop for better than 14 hours. It's all ego. I hear she routinely schedules 30 passengers to fly with her so she can get the DC-9. The she shows up with 3..... She is so arrogant.
Cheaper than scheduling a weekly tanker sortie from tulsa... Agree , no use for that particular wicked witch or her sister ( (hildebeast")
