Tony, begging for good press, sickening.
And what does the Snowman think of Murtha's threat to cut of defense funds if they don't get their way?
I can't think of anything to describe that, but if I do, it won't be very nice.
Ahhh, just be done with it and give her AirForce One. But be sure to paint a broom on the tail.
The White House should come to Pelosi's rescue. I am sure she would do the same for her (sarc).
Supposedly, the issue here is one of security. The only drawback to a smaller aircraft is that not as many of her family can ride at tax payer expense and she may have to stop to refuel, neither of which has any bearing on security.
Apparently, her primary concern is one of regal image.
Tony has more sympathy for Nancy Pelosi than he does for the railroaded border patrol agents. This crowd makes me sick.
This is a win-win for the White House. It can publicly deplore the controversy while silently enjoying it.
Snow is just relaying Bush's position.
This kinda BS almost makes me want give Savage's presidency another thought.
Snowman picking battles. Figures damage was already done to the botox queen.
Just let her have AF1 Tone and dust off the spirit of 76 for George's remainder.
First, it was never in question that Pelosi was going to get 'A' plane. What was in dispute, was whether she would get the big 757 that she wanted. The answer to that is NO.
What Tony Snow has done, is KILL Pelosi's argument.
By coming out and saying it is 'silly' for her to not get an aircraft, allows the White House to take the high road, while not giving Pelosi what she really wanted. Everyone involved knew she would get a plane, and since the Pentagon told her last night in a letter that she would get a C-20 for official business only, and that her family would NOT be allowed to fly with her without paying a coach fare, the dispute is OVER!
The KNEEJERKING on this website has gone completely nuts, and most of you dont even know when you have WON.
SHUTUP!
Nancy lies, Bush administration keels and cries.
Speaker or not, Pelosi only received 148,435 votes to win here seat. Compare that to Feinstein (who ran a statewide campaign), who won 5,076,289 votes; or Boxer, who won 6,995,728 votes.
President Bush won over 50,000,000 votes.
Should a person who won less that 150,000 votes really command such extravagances? If she want better accomodatons, let her run a wider campaign and win the support of more Americans.

Let the Pentagon play the bad cop, while the White House intercedes with good cop, and gets legislative concessions from Pelosi.
Like making sausage, no one ever said that government was pretty.
Appeasing evil never works.
Bush will be Impeached before he leaves. Mark these words.
WWWWhhhhaaaatttt????
Now it's a silly story that Queen of SF wants a plane to carry her, family, etc. all around.
