House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is abusing the perks of power |
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.
But the Los Angeles Times reports that the military passenger plane that can
make a cross-country flight in any weather and also provide the
communications needed to stay in contact with the White House is the C-40,
which is described by the Air Force as an "office in the sky."
Derived from the Boeing 737-700C, it can seat up to 120 passengers and has
beds and two galleys.
Pelosi's spokesman Brendan Daly acknowledged that the speaker has asked if
family and friends can fly with her on business travel.
Some Republicans are raising a stink over Pelosi's moves. "Flying Lincoln
bedroom," Minority Whip Roy Blunt of Missouri said in story appearing in the
Washington Times.
Pelosi One" said Rep. Patrick T. McHenry of North Carolina in the same
article.
But spokesman Daly said the flap was "ridiculous."
And Pelosi herself told the media on Wednesday that the request for the
plane "has nothing to do with family and friends and everything to do with
security. It's a question of distance."
She also said that she only wanted - as a female speaker of the house - what
any male speaker of the house has had.
But most people do not fly cross-country with a bedroom.
Curiously, Pelosi has suggested that the Bush administration was behind the
flap, the Los Angeles Times reported.
"The ... misrepresentation could [only] be coming from the administration,
and one would only have to wonder why," Pelosi said, even though White House
Press Secretary Tony Snow says the speaker is not asking for anything
unreasonable, that the whole affair is much ado about nothing, and that the
military and the speaker are working things out.
According to the Air Force, at least 21 people can request the use of the
C-40s, and there are only four of the aircraft available. Potential users
include the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Cabinet
secretaries. The planes are also used to fly congressional delegations to
military theaters.
A senior Defense Department official said the aircraft Pelosi would be
offered could sometimes include the larger plane.
All I can say is..."What in the hell is she thinking?????"
Liberals will of course ignore her wanting to abuse her power.

Pelosi, Planes and Partisan Propaganda
Republican apologists for the Bush administration's failed fight in
Iraq and their amen corner in the media have been looking for
something, anything, to distract the American public from a necessary
discussion about the need to end the U.S. occupation of that country.
They finally settled last week on the "scandal" involving House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi's mode of transporation.
Pelosi, a California Democrat, was informed as she prepared to assume
the speakership -- a position that places her third in the line of
succession to the presidency -- that she could no longer travel as
she previously had: on commercial airlines. She would, she was
informed, have to fly as former Speaker Dennis Hastert had on a
secure Air Force plane. So it was that, upon becoming speaker, Pelosi
accepted her new circumstance and agreed to use a military plane with
a fuel capacity that would allow for cross-country travel without
stops.
That's not exactly the stuff of scandal. But, after an apparent
"leak" from the Bush administration's Department of Defense to the
White House-friendly Washington Times newspaper, the Times last week
ran a story headlined: "Pelosi's Power Trip -- Non-stop Nancy Seeks
Flight of Fancy."
Fox News jumped on the story, followed by other cable networks. The
Republican National Committee stoked it with emails to reporters and
briefing papers supposedly exposing Pelosi's imperial style -- and
ambitions. The predictable Sean Hannity declared that Pelosi "thinks
she's the president" -- seemingly unaware that by referencing the
presidency he was acknowledging his own dear leader's regal
pretensions.
Republican members of the House actually brought the issue up on the
floor of a chamber that should have been focused on the question of
how and when to end a war that began as ***** Cheney's "power trip"
and George Bush's flight of fancy" but has since turned into an
international disaster.
House Republican Conference chair Adam Putnam, of Florida accused
Pelosi of displaying "an arrogance of office that just defies common
sense."
House Minority Whip Roy Blunt, of Missouri, referred to the plane
Pelosi would likely use as a "flying Lincoln Bedroom."
North Carolina Congressman Patrick T. McHenry, arguably the most
consistently hysterical member of an increasingly hysterical caucus,
described the speaker's plane as "Pelosi One," and declared that,
"This is a bullet point to a larger value -- Pelosi's abuse of power
continues.
McHenry accused the speaker of "exploiting America's armed forces and
taxpayers for her own personal convenience."
Yikes! This was the Republican spin machine churning at full throttle.
There was only, er, one problem.
The charge that Pelosi was abusing her position was a complete
fabrication.
The speaker did not request a bigger or better plane.
It was the man in charge of making security arrangements for members
of the Congress who made the request.
House Sergeant at Arms Bill Livingood has confirmed that, for
security reasons, he asked that Pelosi be provided with an Air Force
plane that could make the trip from Washington to San Francisco
without stopping to refuel.
"The fact that Speaker Pelosi lives in California compelled me to
request an aircraft that is capable of making non-stop flights for
security purposes, unless such an aircraft is unavailable," Livingood
explained in a written statement. "I regret that an issue that is
exclusively considered and decided in a security context has evolved
into a political issue."
Livingood, who has served as sergeant at arms for 11 years, made
similar arrangements for past speakers.
That was something the Republican National Committee and its media
echo chamber could have discovered simply by contacting the Office of
the Sergeant at Arms.
It is something that Republican Representatives Putnam, Blunt and
McHenry should have known.
In fact, if this Congress had nothing else on its agenda, it might
well be appropriate to inquire into whether Putnam, Blunt and McHenry
used their positions to engage in a deliberate conspiracy to deceive
the American people for partisan purposes.
But Congress has a higher calling. It is time to put aside the
distractions and get focused on the discussion about war and peace
that the administration and its acolytes on Capitol Hill are so
determined to avoid.

You just proved yourself, yet again, to be a Right Wing hack that is
far from your lying claims to be an ³independent.²
You are just another Right Wing *****. Even your lord and savior,
Bush, agrees with Pelosi. <http://tinyurl.com/2b5d45> Bush says your
***** is ³silly.²
Now for the truth. (Not that Republicans care.)
The reason there is a need for Nancy Pelosi to have the larger plane is
she lives in California, as opposed to the previous speaker, Dennis
Hastert, who lived in Illinois. For a guy who CLAIMS to have been in
the Air Force you sure know little about airplanes.
The C-20 used by Hastert canıt make the trip from Washington, D.C. to
the San Francisco Bay Area, non-stop. The Republicans say that if the
winds are just right it can - sometimes. In other words, the
Republican plan for Pelosi is as poorly thought out as their plan for
the ³war in Iraq. It might work!
Pelosi, second in line behind the vice president to succeed the
president, has expressed concern about having to stop and refuel for
security reasons. Contrary to the Right Wing lies, Pelosi has only
said, "I want an aircraft that will reach California," insisting that
she doesn't care what kind of plane it is as long as it can fly nonstop
to her home district.
Pelosi said news reports suggesting that she seeks a lavish jet suggest
a "misrepresentation that could only be coming from the administration.
One would wonder why the practice deemed to be necessary from a
security standpoint would be mischaracterized in the press. I know that
it's not coming from the president, because he impressed upon me the
amount of security I need to have."
So tell us, Osprey. How does it feel to, once again, have your *****
handed to you?

She didn't ask for a "jumbo military jet", *****. Stop lying.
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.
So then, she's asking for the same thing that the Republicans got.
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, an Illinois Republican, flew in a small
commuter-sized Air Force jet.
Because that will fly the distance from Washington to Illinois.
Pelosi wants a larger aircraft that can fly to her San Francisco district
without stopping to refuel.
And that's supposed to be an "abuse" because the right-wing assholes
look for any excuse to divert attention away from their own corruption
and smear others.
Some sources are claiming that Pelosi demanded access to the C-32,
Some sources are claiming that you're a cross-dressing pervert.
But the Los Angeles Times reports that the military passenger plane that can
make a cross-country flight in any weather and also provide the
communications needed to stay in contact with the White House is the C-40,
which is described by the Air Force as an "office in the sky."
Derived from the Boeing 737-700C, it can seat up to 120 passengers and has
beds and two galleys.
Only a stupid ***** could claim that a 737 is a "jumbo".
Pelosi's spokesman Brendan Daly acknowledged that the speaker has asked if
family and friends can fly with her on business travel.
"Asked".
Some Republicans are raising a stink over Pelosi's moves.
Because they're political bigots resortign to the usual right-wing
smear tactics.
[...]
And Pelosi herself told the media on Wednesday that the request for the
plane "has nothing to do with family and friends and everything to do with
security. It's a question of distance."
She also said that she only wanted - as a female speaker of the house - what
any male speaker of the house has had.
But most people do not fly cross-country with a bedroom.
Bush does. And his converted 747 is a jumbo jet.

Critics are stupid, since the House sergeant-at-arms

the facts of the story had been released well before osprey published
his false story.
typical osprey.... continuing to earn his reputation as the abortion
