The important, unasked question in the Pelosi plane issue

[maxrandb]

Barring someone grabbing Lou Dobbs by the throat and jamming the House Sargent-at-Arms statement down his throat during live TV, it appears that no amount of debunking will stop the "fun" our press seems to be having with this issue. It's hard to stop the clowns when they start getting out of the Volkswagen. That's what it is. The press realizes that if they somberly come out and tell the truth, their news programs will lose that "All in the Family", "Sanford and Son" situation comedy appeal. Much easier to spew as many double entrende's, tongue-in-cheek, "non-stop Nancy" lines as you can. If they come out and tell the truth, they'll never be able to compete with "American Idol".

Still, there is one angle I would love to see them pursue. Apparently, the plane that Speaker Pelosi did not request (read demand if you're a Freeper) - The plane that Speaker Pelosi does not want to use for lavish political parties and wild lesbian sex with Brittany Spears is...from reports...

"one of the most luxurious planes in the Air Force's fleet -- the C-40 -- which boasts a private bed, an entertainment center, and a crew of 16."

I'm just wondering if, in between pratfalls and belly-laughs, and laugh-tracks - can someone in our media ask; "Why the hell does the Air Force need several luxury planes with private beds, entertainment centers and 16 crew member's at someones beck and call?". and "Can we see a list of who has flown in these planes, where they went, and what they were doing there?".

I understand Air Force 1 and Air Force 2. I understand that the four star may not want to fly coach, but just who else is the Air Force ferrying around in luxury on your's and my dime.

I would also add, that as a Navy man, I'm a little upset that we don't have a few 100 foot luxury yacht's that we can use to to do a little pond-jumping ourselves.
