Hastert Used Military Aircraft To Fly Foley Page Scandal Figure To Washington The media continues to pound a false Washington Times report accusing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) of wasting government resources by "demanding permanent access to a large military jet for herself, her staff, other Members and supporters."
In fact, Pelosi's office has stated repeatedly, from the beginning, that "it is up to the Air Force to decide what type and size of plane will be required," and that she "will not use the plane for political travel."
Conservatives have tried to bolster their attack by claiming that former Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) only used his military aircraft for official business. The Washington Times quoted an unnamed "former Hastert aide" saying Hastert "did not use military planes for political trips or regularly transport his family." But Chicago Sun-Times reporter Lynne Sweet says that isn't true:
On Sunday, Oct. 1, Hastert's team was scrambling to contain the escalating fallout from the Foley page scandal.
That day, Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.), then the chairman of the page board, had gotten an urgent phone call from Stokke. The Hastert team wanted Shimkus to return to Washington immediately from his home in southern Illinois in order to appear at a press conference on Monday with the Speaker, and they did not want to deal with commercial flight schedules.
So at 8 p.m. that day, Shimkus arrived at the military side of the Scott Air Force Base near Belleville to board the Speaker's jet that had been dispatched for him. More Outside Link

House security chief: Pelosi didn't ask for plane; I did
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi did not request a larger plane for personal use to travel cross-country without stopping, Bill Livingood, the House sergeant at arms, said Thursday. Livingood said the request was his, and he made it for security reasons.

From the story:
Pelosi is striking back against accusations she asked for a plane larger and more expensive than the one used by former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, a claim published last week in The Washington Times.
The Times article, headlined "Pelosi's Power Trip -- Non-stop Nancy Seeks Flight of Fancy," led the Republican National Committee to send out a research briefing and blast Pelosi on the House floor.
The Washington Times is a Sun Myung Moon-owned horseshit "newspaper" that is a Republican tool. It is not in any way a legitimate newspaper.

You are all naive morons for believing anything claimed by any politician.
Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., the Pelosi ally who chairs the House military appropriations subcommittee, said he has spoken to Pentagon officials about the need to provide Pelosi with a bigger plane that can fly passengers coast to coast in comfort.
Murtha said he is convinced the Pentagon has been leaking information about the possibility that Pelosi would use large military planes to make her look bad. But he said, "They're making a mistake when they leak it because she decides on allocations for them,'' referring to the Pentagon budget.

She has publically stated that she simply wants a plane that can make the trip nonstop. The plane Hasturt used is too small and would require refueling. If they have to stop for refueling in the middle of nowhere, it will add major time to the trip, as well as increase the security risk - which is the entire reason the Speaker has been assigned a plane anyway.

They can stop at a military airfield with no security risk. And if Air Force One can land on a civilian airfield, so can her royal highness Nancy.

Bush didn't land for a long time on 9/11 since it was a risk. Keep in mind all these changes came about due to 9/11 and way before Pelosi was speaker. She is afterall number 3 in line to the Presidency.
That is like saying Prince Harry needs to fly differently since he is only #3 to the throne. On top of that the royalty are only figureheads.

Oh, airbus A380 and all you listed above would be needed only if they had to provide a plane for Republican pedophiles. Pelosi only wants security.
10. Star Trek Voyager style bridge chairs for her, Murtha and Michael Moore. (These were cancelled when people realised, since Speaker Pelosi had the center chair, Moore taking one of the sides would unbalance the plane.)
9. Giant roll down movie screen to watch her contributors' Hollywood movies, with a mute button for whenever Susan Sarandon is speaking during that movie set on death row, because even Nancy Pelosi can't put up with it for long.
8. Custom commo headset with ear speakers for phone, bluetooth and MP3, microphone for talking on the radio or cell phone, and sidepiece - mounted botox injectors for regular tune ups.
7. Snickers, Snickers, Snickers.
6. Ejector seat in case Jane Harman comes aboard.
5. Blink-operated telepathic flight controls like the jet in that Clint Eastwood "Firefox" movie.
4. What everyone likes - ADORABLE KITTIES!
3. Directory of news reporters' names to avoid another "Myra, Myra" incident.
2. Special hair blower machine that vents the Aquanet she uses directly into a vacuum to be burned off in the jet's engines later, cutting ozone damage.
1. Special room for all her Vice President Dick Cheney memorabilia, with hotline where they can talk and continue their secret and special friendship.

Here's the problem. When something is funny you laugh. You don't have to wait for explanations, you just laugh. So try again and remember, you've got to make people laugh to be funny.

Predictably, you got it backward. You've got to be funny to make people laugh.
BTW, note that the twat to whom you're responding refers to me as a "lib", by which I presume he means "liberal"; yet, you accused me in a different post of defending a Nazi (which I didn't.) There's a big consistency problem at work here.
