House GOP blast Pelosi for plane request

By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 21 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - For most of the past five weeks, House Republicans could do little else but watch as majority Democrats passed major legislation without giving them a chance to propose changes or offer alternatives. So when they finally got a chance Thursday to air pent-up frustrations over how Democrats were running things, the Republicans decided to make some noise — and how. They aimed high, all the way to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (news, bio, voting record).


The California Democrat went before the House Science Committee in the morning to champion her commitment to do something about global warming, a rare appearance for a leader of the House.

She did so as reports swirled on Capitol Hill that she had requested a bigger, swankier government airplane than her Republican predecessor had used for trips back to her home district when Congress isn't meeting.

For Republicans, feeling muzzled and still blue over losing control of the House, the irony was too good to ignore.

A waste of the taxpayers' money, some said, claiming her trips would cost $15 million a year if she used planes such as the military version of the Boeing 757-200. In its commercial configuration the 757-200 usually seats 175-190 passengers.

1. Her dick is not bigger then dennie's

Isn't it a hoot listening to jerkoff republicans whining about government spending.

I like Brian Williams summation last night on NBC news. This is not what he said but its what I heard and I do believe what he meant:

This is much ado about nothing originated by a bunch of nobodies.
