Congressional Hypocrites

Judicial Watch investigated possible congressional misuse of USAF aircraft for personal use. Funny how Congress and Obama berate corporations for their use of business aircraft then do the same thing themselves...at taxpayers' expense. I wonder why the airlines aren't "good enough" for them. Perhaps they don't like the TSA airport hassles to which they subject "the little people".

"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.

"I think that's above and beyond what other members of Congress are doing and what is expected of our elected officials," said Jenny Small, a researcher with the group.

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 (Gulfstream G-5 business jet aircraft) 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 doubt that Nancy P. will be responding any time soon.

Calling politicans hypocrites (right left blue red)is like calling a prostitute a whore.

Politicans do what they do why are you surprised

Stop resisting
In spite of the policians wE survived the nuclear arms race during the cold war. Both sides had enough nuke weapons to wipe out the world many times over.

In spite of congress we will survive. Maybe not the way some of us would like to but we will survive.

Don't worry be happy
R.i.P.

Are you suggesting that the President fly commercial?

No. I'm suggesting that since he's asking everyone to tighten their financial belts and make do with less, that he should cancel the new helicopter contract for himself, and continue to make do with the current old helicopter fleet.

But I bet he won't. He'll approve those new shiny choppers.

Looks like you are wrong AGAIN, Mr. Rich.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, the problem's electrical.
