But can the train "take" her?
IOW, can the rail operators tolerate her presence? I know I couldn't.

...provided she pays at least what she would on an airline. I think IRS regs says 3X the price of first class for "private" air transport.

Fuhrer Pelosi only wants what she believes she is entitled to...
Just imagine the looks on her Uber-Rich San Fran friends faces when the military salutes her as she departs!
Carbon footprints are for little people, and Pelosi could care less, as long as someone other than her gets to pay for it...

I think these VIP flights are in Citations...not in "military transport" cargo planes.
To: Arrowhead1952
You must remember that in an Uber-rich liberals mind, the military is to service THEM, at no cost to themselves...
Annointed Elitist Leftists know so much more than we do, and are entitled to perks such as this to get them to the Dacha after a long week in the Politburo!!

What? She's afraid to fly commercial flights? Now why would that be? There's no WOT. The war in Iraq is a mistake. Islamofacism is a myth spread by Neo-cons. Bring the Troops Home Now!
She afraid a commercial flight might be flown into a tall building or something? *SMIRK*

I need to add to my previous post that the Citation jets are USMC & Army. Air Force flies the Gulfstream for VIPS. Accding to dh, all congresspersons must submit a request for transportation. It is not guaranteed that a request will be filled due to limits of a/c and pilot availability. Even the Commandant submits his request.

Does she know what she is asking for? Asking to get into a plane filled with people who despise the very ground she walks on?
Don't you think there are people in the military with career ambitions -- in or after the armed forces -- such that schmoozing with the Speaker of the House would overcome such distaste, even if there is any?

The book is an excellent account of not only his life, but the portions of the lives that he had a direct impact on. It is a biography and a historical look at the social environment of the time. What struck me most, as applicable to today's climate in DC politics, was the blase (to use the French word) manner in which Louis XVI approached the situations that he found himself in. He didn't understand, as some of the current political representatives in DC don't understand today, the seriousness of the attack on the Constitution.

I wonder how many troopers heading home are going to be bumped so her friends can get a free ride?
