Taxpayers pay $101,000 for Pelosi's in-flight 'food, booze'
WND ^ | 1/29/20 | Bob Unruh

Posted on 01/29/2010 5:18:07 AM PST by hope

It reads like a dream order for some wild frat party: Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey's Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey … and Corona beer.

But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for "in-flight services" – including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That's almost $1,000 per week.

That explains why she always looks pickled.

Seriously, there is something definitely wrong with this woman.

Old Nancy really know;s how to live doesnt she?

That rip for all those Congress critters to go to Copenhagen ran into Millions. The only non-partisan thing our Congress does is party. Both parties know how to spend a delightful term on the taxpayers dime.

Throw out the whole stinking bunch. Vote no incumbents.

Yeah, I am waiting to see this reported by AP, or in the Washington Post and/or the New York Times, or on the network news.

What effrontery!

How dare anyone question the USSA’s Royalty?

Especially the Commissar Queen herself.

NOW I get it! That glassy eyed countenance...that crazy frozen smile...she’s gassed all the time!

This is a disgusting, wretched situation.

It's the sense of entitlement that all members of Congress pick up.

We never had anything of the sort at our college parties.

Banker’s Club, Jauquins and Old Crow were more our price range.

And it was good, you know why? Because we paid for it with our own money!!

And a conservative Gov. put her state's jet up for sale on e-bay to save money. What a contrast in principles.

November 2nd, need we say more.

She will be in San Francisco to vote that day. When the results come back that night and the majority changes to the GOP, I would like to see on TV the military jet she uses taxi off and take off back to Washington without her.

I will toast and cheer.
