Now, as a woman, as a woman Speaker of the House, I don't want any less opportunity than male speakers have had when they have served here."

She's really bringing up the fact that Rummy has a DESK at the Pentagon?

**ROLLING EYES UPWARD**

Now, this is the kind of thing that conjures up the stereotype of the petty woman.

C'mon, Nancy. Be like Thatcher, not like the gossipy, petty woman in curlers next door.

What she's so enraged about is that this got out; God only knows what else she's done behind our backs.

As for me, this part of being on the minority side is pretty cool...............LOL.

Let THEM take the lumps for two years!

"If she was confident in her appeal to the people, she'd fly commercial for more exposure"

That must expalin why you cannot find a SINGLE picture of her with an ARMED US Soldier while she was in Iraq....

BTW, every time I see your name now I start laughing about that Hillary-Pelosi picture and your quote!

That's one of the funniest things I've EVER seen on FR.


(O/T -- we're gonna get two storms next week, so hear!)

Ms. Pelosi needs to be careful about the lighting in some of the hallways.

She's clearly unaccustomed to heavy scrutiny, and has more than a few faux-regal quirks to fuel the fire. She's already a caricature, not two months into becoming Speaker. It should be worth a few laughs.

I doubt her ego would even fit in the Spruce Goose.

Not with those rudimentary hydraulics in there. The Goose would have to be a balsa wood glider to fit her ego.

This from a sexist who believes that government could be or should be run differently with a woman in charge.

I hope Rumsfeld will make some kick-ass comments on this.
He was always a master of direct, spot-on (and funny) comments.

Maybe the White House should replace Snow with Rumsfeld? Hehe...

Broomstick 1 isn't big enough for Nancy's ego.

Pelosi will have to fight her for the title:

The C-32 is the same airframe as a Boeing 757. The Boeing 757-200 can accommodate as many as 239 passengers in a single-aisle six-abreast cabin arrangement.

Nancy needs this all to herself to accomodate her fat a$$ and overinflated ego and sense of entitlement - because, in her own words, she's a woman.

A couple of averages of fuel consumption are below as per each aircraft.

Boeing 757-200/C32 - 4.014gal/mile
Boeing 727-222 - 6.426gal/mile
Boeing 737-300 - 4.314gal/mile
Boeing 747-200 - 28.857gal/mile (a much larger aircraft than the previous three)


To illustrate the differences in each phase of flight, one can see the fuel consumption rates during the flight of a Boeing 757-200

Fuel Burn: 4.014gal/mile
Fuel Burn @ Climb: 2681.55gal/hr
Fuel Burn @ Cruise: 1191.8gal/hr
Fuel Burn @ Descent: 376.358gal/hr


So Queen nancy would burn about 24,000 gallons of fuel per round trip to get to work. Not only that, but the supposedly environmentally conscious Democrat would be ripping a huge rent in the ozone to transport a single person in an airliner which can carry 239 people.

"Look, up in the sky... it's a bird... it's a plane... it's NANCY PELOSI ripping a huge hole in the ozone..."

This is really dumb of her, complaining about the size of her airplane. This kinda thing can stick with you and identify you in the public mind.

Hmmm, that's very telling.
Professionally speaking I'd say San Fran Nan is suffering from a case of penis envy. She also has a fan jet inferiority complex.

For her own safety she should be locked up in a 'Loony Bin' (medical term) stat.

;-)
