Call pelosi's office and ask, or check the records of congress. You sir are part of the reason we have a mess like this. You want to sit there and blame some one, or wave the banner of untruth. I do not now or ever have started any post that I did not check out personally. So I think you need to keep your remarks to yourself if you know not what your talking about, because I sir do!

Okay..that didn't take long... how about the NY Post...

I am neither deaf, dumb, or blind, and definitely have communication with the, as you put it, "outside world". If you know that the story is true, please give me some RELIABLE sources that I can check. No, I am not going to call Pelosi's office.... Mr. H., I am soooo sorry to be the cause of all your and the world's problem. Feel free to blame me for all your problems anytime you'd like. My shoulders are broad and strong. Lay your problems on them. However, I didn't, and wouldn't, blame anyone -- for anything. Mr. H., I am soooo happy for you that you are so smart, so knowing, because you are the type that can lead us...to where, I'm not sure, other than straight to hell. As for your Confederate Flag icon, you give our Confederate Flag a bad name. No wonder so many Americans want it erased from history! Signed: Born-waaaaay-South of the Mason/Dixon Line

Permalink Reply by pb on February 13, 2009 at 9:18pm: Thank you, Fira. I used your link, and this is the sentence that stands out in my mind: "Now the new speaker, Democrat Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, is demanding her own personal Pentagon-provided jet. " Yes, I have heard and read that, but that doesn't say she GOT what she was asking for. I, like you, wouldn't want her to have it, but all I can do is try to stop it from happening. I cannot smear her for doing something that she hasn't done or accomplished yet. And I did see that Mr. H. has responded again. He can dish it out, but he can't take it. Why am I not surprised. Regardless of his actions, if this site is here to throw dirt, color me gone. If it is here to help each other know what is really happening and suggestions about how to handle some problems associated with what IS happening, I'll stick around. I'm not here to argue with anyone, especially not idiots.

Not only it's outrageous content, but her outrageous conduct in shoving it through for a vote without allowing anyone to read it, let alone debate it.

Permalink Reply by Garry H on February 13, 2009 at 9:34pm: Lets knock it off. I don't want to throw mud if its not true. I have checked out two other sources and have leaned that she has used a larger plane a couple of times. This is not her regular plane. At this time I can not find out what she is flying. Maybe her broom. My apologies, we need to work together, not fight in the ranks. Hope you will feel the same.

Permalink Reply by John P. on February 13, 2009 at 9:44pm: Wait I thought she was on a 757-200.

Garry H said:
Jim, do the math and then tell me that this is not true. She only works 3, sometimes 4 days a week. She returns to her home every week via a 737. Fuel cost for that plane to L.A. from Dulles AP runs well over 50, 000. these figures are very conservative.
Lets do it another way and these figures come right from Boeing.
Let's run the numbers on the latest model of the Boeing 737-900. The plane burns about 2.4 gallons per nautical mile, and a trip from New York to Los Angeles, California, is about 2,100 nautical miles. So that means it would take about 5,000 gallons of Jet-A fuel to fly coast to coast. Now jet fuel is selling at my AP for over 3.00 per Gal. Remember these figures do not include maintenance, Crew salaries, landing fees handling fees, no, and on it goes.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for posting this; I cannot stand Queen Pelois and her hypocritical ways. However, this info is not exactly correct. Check out the snopes.com article on this at http://www.snopes.com/politics/pelosi/jet.asp I think it is important that we focus on the thousand and one lies falsehoods of the Limousine Liberals, but not lose our credibility by stating things that aren't true.
