Critics charge that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is abusing the perks of power by asking for a jumbo military jet with sleeping accommodations for her flights across the country.
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Pentagon agreed to provide the speaker, who is second in the line of presidential succession, with a military plane for added security during trips back home.
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, an Illinois Republican, flew in a small commuter-sized Air Force jet.
Pelosi wants a larger aircraft that can fly to her San Francisco district without stopping to refuel.
Some sources are claiming that Pelosi demanded access to the C-32, which seats 45 and has a stateroom for the primary passenger, a conference facility, an entertainment system and three convertible beds.

I concur. Our Troops are lucky to get a good nights sleep on a cot.
She can't wait until her big broom gets her to San Fransnickersbar to do what ever she does in a bed.

...$300,000 a flight, all on taxpayer dime.
Truth in that. It costs $22,000/Hr to operate a 757. I think the real issue, tho', is her absolute demand for a bidet....

I gotta git off this thread. My eyes are watered. I got a smile plastered on my face that I can not get off. My gut hurts. And I am wearing out my L and O on my keyboard.

Pelosi wants a larger aircraft that can fly to her San Francisco district without stopping to refuel. You can't expect her to set foot in flyover country.
To: Paleo Conservative
That's freaky. I just imaged her and the Captain in her bedroom while the plane is on auto pilot.

From what I understand, this plane costs about $20,000 per flight hour to operate. Round trip between DC and SF would be about 8-10 flight hours, assuming no delays either way. She's announced that the plane must be available for her to make this run twice a week (probably a very low ball figure - expect her to have it in almost constant use, ferrying family and friends and campaign donors all over the earth on various junkets). But assuming two DC-SF round trip runs a week, we're talking $320,000 - $400,000 per week. That comes out to $16.6 to $20.8 million per year.

Well, she don't need to be stopping over in Detroit. 35 murders in Detroit during the month of January. 39 Troops killed in all of Iraq in January. Detroit is almost as bad as the 'worn torn' country of Iraq.
