Smart lady lawyer embarasses Sean Hannity

[Louis-Emmanuel]

Sean Hannity and some other wingnut were patting each other in the back accusing Nancy Pelosi of flying around on a private military Jet, when all of a sudden Regina Calcaterra (attorney) stopped them in their tracks and debunked the smear. You should hear the awkward silence by Hannity, who only managed to spit a few unintelligible words after being schooled.

6. Nancy Pelosi shouldn't be flying around on a private jet.

Just because Dennis Hastert did it doesn't make it ok. It's a huge waste of taxpayer money and bad for the environment.

7. its not a private jet it belongs to the US Government...check the facts

11. Alright, you win. Instead of wasting money and polluting the environment by using a private jet,

she's wasting money and polluting the environment by using a government jet.

15. should Obama fly first class or coach

I assume you would apply the same standard to the President as to the Speaker.

The reason it was decided that the Speaker should fly military aircraft was that she's third in line to become President. Its not an unreasonable approach.

[Frank Booth]

20. Nope. The president has a much larger staff and is WAY more high profile

than the speaker of the house. Most people in this country don't even recognize Pelosi -- you can't say that about Obama. Also, there are a lot more real threats to the President.

17. bush started this after 9-11, if it was ok for hastert to "waste money and pollute the environment"

why is it more of a big deal for Pelosi? The records show hastert did it almost weekly while Pelosi does it maybe once a month.THERE are the double standards every one seems to like to talk about.

18. What do you want her to do, "Go Greyhound"?!?

Get off my lawn!!

I'm glad we have a sense of perspective around here.

9. Reminds me of Kenneth Copeland

He's been raking in money and bought himself two jumbo airplanes, parked at his mansion in Texas! Very bad for the envoronment. I objected to my fundie/freeper sister, but she had dreamy look in her eyes, said.."God wants him to have them. I don't mind giving him money."

Insane! x(

Apology for off topic

[demwing]

16. She's Second (or third, depending on how you count) in line to the Presidency

It is a security issue. There are bigger battles to wage...

[SwampG8r]

8. hannity embarasses himself

she just noted it out loud

[Yavin4]

10. The Really Sad Part Is That This Is An Old Story

The Nancy Pelosi airplane story first appeared in 2006.

[last_texas_dem]

12. I'm willing to bet that Hannity has long known the reason

that Pelosi flies in the jet, and simply continues to bring it up w/o giving any background- requiring whatever liberal he's debating to call him on it. If they fail to call him on it, or he brings it up in a situation in which he is not debating a liberal, he's able to successfully float a good ol' bullshit RW talking point that his audience will lap up unquestioningly.

[Supersedeas]

13. and shills like Bush Buddies, Laura Ingram, just knod and smile

[1776Forever]

14. Was that bald guy Bernard McGuirk infamous Imus Producer?

Oh my God what the H is he doing as an "expert" on anything but sleaze? Sean is desperate!

:crazy: :silly: :crazy:

[JSK]

19. She did a lousy job countering their lies

Keith, of course, explained it much better.
