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
