    Default Now Pelosi wants her own private jet!

    The Bush administration has agreed to provide House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with regular access to an Air Force passenger jet, but the two sides are negotiating whether she will get the big aircraft she wants and who she may take as passengers, according to congressional and administration sources.
    A congressional source said that Rep. John P. Murtha, chairman of House Appropriations subcommittee on defense, which controls the Pentagon's spending, has telephoned administration officials to urge them to give the speaker what she wants.
    The congressional source said Pentagon officials complained that Mr. Murtha, Pennsylvania Democrat, is accusing them of sexism for not immediately heeding her request. ...

    The next time I hear about the big spending habits of Republicans, I'll ask them about this....

    A single jet costs several thousand dollars an HOUR to fly, millions of dollars a year to maintain (several hours of maintenance are required for each hour of flight). This means that, if the Bush Administration caves, they will have to supply two or more jets for Ms. Multitask (in case one is down for repairs)

    The media would report it like this:

    "Instead of body armor for our troops, the Bush Administration authorized luxury jumbo jets for select VIPs"
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Yeah, and Cheney doesn't even get that. "Air Force 2" isn't the same plane from week to week.

    She probably wants it labeled Air Force 3.

    You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.

    Because Hillary needs it right now for the extra early campaign she's running.

    I'm really glad the media picked up on this(could this mean they are at least somewhat useful?....nahhh) because it seems to be Republicans that are regularly accused of spending too much money. Meanwhile Nancy thinks she is Pres #2

    She does seem to think she's running things now and can make all sorts of policy changes.

    Of course! She is, after all, Little Miss Multitask!!!

    Faster than a filibuster
    Able to bend Republicans with her bare hands
    Able to leap large budgets with a single bound
    It's Super Pelosi!

    Fighting for spin, privilege and the Socialist way!

    Yes, thank God for the Democrats, they are looking out for the rest of us.

    I'm so grateful, I just want to pucker up and kiss Lil' Miss Pelosi on the hiney and tell her it smells like roses.
