Breaking On Fox: John Boehner Will Fly Commercial As House Speaker
Fox News | 11/10/10 | Fox News

Posted on 11/10/2010 9:27:30 AM PST by careyb

Just announced on TV. Good, populist move I think. He said he has discussed the issue with security personnel and it will be okay.

Good. I was hoping that he would do this.

Will Nasty Nancy take this to mean she gets to keep “her” plane?

First class is still less expensive than chugging around in AF1.

AP Spin:

Weepy house speaker in waiting hopes to have his genitals groped by TSA workers.

AP Spin:

Weepy house speaker subjects hard working traveling Americans to intolerable delays in flight time due to inexplicable desire to be groped by TSA workers.

That could be said about the White House also.

Just my luck to get seated next to some guy reeking of cigarette smoke.

And a really, really massive tan! Oh, the horror!

Great - interact with the people.

Next up, pay cuts (5% or so) for Congress.

Can I have the “OLD” Speakers plane? Pretty please.

The Speaker never had a plane. It came from the Air Force's pool, based on what was available at the time to meet the mission.

So, will he go through the full body screener or Opt Out and request the enhanced pat down?

The first TSA goon that touches Boehner will find himself folded up into a pretzel by the Secret Service. Us plebes don't have the option of Secret Service protection, so it's either the dick measure or the dick grope. Your choice.

AP SPIN:

Weepy house speaker in waiting opts to fly commerical in order to have genitals groped by TSA workers.

Next AP SPIN:

Disingenuous weepy house speaker puts symbolism over substance, causes massive travel delays as extra security measures required in order to fly commerical.

Guaranteed liberal media trick:

Posting of full body scanner pics showing Boehner’s boner.

GOOD MOVE,,, and it isn’t just symbolism. Nancy’s psychological separation from the populace was a very real thing. A speaker of the house needs to *always* remember who he works for.

“...take a realistic pay cut...”

Start with working for minimum wage...or maybe ten bucks an hour.

Nancy didn’t grant her the privilege. George W did after 9-11. Now she did want to demand a plane that could go coast to coast w/out stopping for gas. And she of course abused the privilege no matter what plane she was flying in.

In 1970 I was flying standby to DC from Boston and standing behind me waiting to get on was Governor Sargeant.
