"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly requested military aircraft to shuttle her and her colleagues and family around the country, according to a new report from a conservative watchdog group.

Representatives for Judicial Watch, which obtained e-mails and other documents from a Freedom of Information request, said the correspondence shows Pelosi has abused the system in place to accommodate congressional leaders and treated the Air Force as her "personal airline."

The e-mails showed repeated attempts by Pelosi aides to request aircraft, sometimes aggressively, and by Department of Defense officials to accommodate them."

"The group reported that Pelosi was notorious for making special demands for high-end aircraft, lodging last-minute cancellations, and racking up additional expenses for the military.

In one e-mail, aide Kay King complained to the military that they had not made available any aircraft the House speaker wanted for Memorial Day recess.

"It is my understanding there are NO G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable ... The Speaker will want to know where the planes are," King wrote. "

"In another, when told a certain type of aircraft would not be available, King wrote: "This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset Speaker."
Pelosi's office has not yet responded to requests for comment. "

I know the reps are having fun, and I find this funny too- but I bet if I had her job whoever was having trouble finding me a plane would be looking for a job. Of course if the events of the past 18 months continue, everybody in the country will have time to find a flight- none of us will be working.

I don't think he realizes that the Speaker is next in line if something were happen to the Prez and VP.

You seem to fancy yourself being the James Carville of the LPD Forum so here is a reason , Her love for Illegals and little or no immagration controls .

Okay she wasn't the only one who voted against the Secure Fence act I believe thats what it was called, that doesn't mean you coddle illegals. You pubs should love her...voted for No Child Left Behind, Patriot Act and was against a lot of Dems when they wanted to bring impeachment charges against Bush. Why is she so evil?
