Better to ask the Imperial Princess First |
After all Princess Pelosi will tell you she deserves the red carpet, her own
private jet (don't tell the global-warming scare crowd) and all the
drippings deserving of the wanna-queen-to-be!
http://washtimes.com/national/20070208-121345-5680r.htm
The Department of Defense yesterday sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy
Pelosi that puts limits on the size of the plane she may use to travel
across the country and restricts the guests she can bring, The Washington
Times has learned.
A congressional source who read the letter signed by Assistant Secretary
of Defense Robert Wilkie said it essentially limits her to the commuter
plane used by former Speaker J. Dennis Hastert, which requires refueling to
travel from Washington to Mrs. Pelosi's San Francisco district. A second
source, in the Bush administration, confirmed the contents of the letter.

So your a follower of the Rev Moon, right? I mean why would you post from a
religious paper unless you were a follower. Been in a mass wedding yet?

Why does Condi and Laura fly a C-32 then?

They're not as important as the Speaker of the House.

You can bet the rightards are going to beat this dead horse until
2008.
Too bad the facts are against them.
1) The House Sergeant at Arms, not Pelosi, initiated inquiries into
the use of military aircraft. House Sergeant at Arms Wilson Livingood,
who has served in his position since 1995, released a statement today
clarifying the facts. He writes, "In December 2006, I advised Speaker
Pelosi that the US Air Force had made an airplane available to Speaker
Hastert for security and communications purposes following September
11, 2001." Additionally, Livingood writes, "I offered to call the U.S.
Air Force and Department of Defense to seek clarification of the
guidelines [which governed Speaker Hastert's use of a plane]."
2) A larger plane was requested because Hastert's plane required
refueling to travel cross-country. The Washington Times says a larger
plane was requested to accomodate Pelosi, "her staff, other Members
and supporters." That's not true. In fact, the plane used by Speaker
Hastert was too small for Pelosi since it "needs to refuel every 2,000
miles and could not make the nonstop haul to California. 'The Air
Force determined that [Pelosi's] safety would be best ensured by using
a plane that has the fuel capacity to go coast-to-coast,'" a Pelosi
spokesperson said.

STATEMENT BY SERGEANT AT ARMS
In December 2006, I advised Speaker Pelosi that the US Air Force had
made an airplane available to Speaker Hastert for security and
communications purposes following September 11, 2001.
I told Speaker Pelosi that Speaker Hastert used the Air Force plane
for travel to and from his district, however, I was uncertain of the
rules and guidelines governing use of the plane. I offered to call the
U.S. Air Force and Department of Defense to seek clarification of the
guidelines.
Subsequently, several members of the Speaker's staff and members of
the Office of the Sergeant at Arms met with representatives from the
Office of the Secretary of Defense and the U.S. Air Force liaison
office to discuss the rules and guidelines which governed Speaker
Hastert's use of a plane. Several questions were posed to the Air
Force and we are awaiting a response.

Which makes it doubly interesting that the DoD has chosen to deny it.
Apparently safety isn't supposed to be a concern for Democratic leaders.
