But, I believe the point here is that it's hard for the Republicans
to bash on Pelosi for how much GREENHOUSE GASSES her friggin' alleged
airplane, which she doesn't have and hasn't used and according to the
WHITE HOUSE didn't request, when they're doing the same thing.


Fair 'nuff, but you must admit the irony of Pelosi (a supporter of the
theory that human activity is the root of global warming) arriving at a
global warming conference in a gas-guzzling Suburban SUV (taxpayer-funded,
of course) and wanting regular cross-country trips in jet aircraft. Forget
party affiliation.

If you think human activity is causing global warming and you're the Number
3 leader of the country, put action to your rhetoric and lead by example.
(For the record, I believe I read recently she owns a hybrid SUV as a
personal vehicle.)

ALL I EXPECT from those *******s
is that they start putting truth, integrity and the american people
ahead of their own party interest. Until then, they're all equally
worthless.


Point.

More to the point, the Vice President's entourage includes a plane to

Democrats would cease this practice if they win the White House in '08?


Governments never diminish spending. It doesn't matter which political party
is nominally in power. All politicians want more money and power, always.

One more time....the party/elected official/whatever does NOT make
these decisions. They are made by the Secret Service, and for something
this relatively minor, no Pres or VP is going to argue with the Service.
Yes, it's relatively minor in the overall scheme of things.

You want Government waste? How about the fact that even ONE of the
cabinet-level organizations (let's take Agriculture) does NOT have
a single accounting/reporting method or system. You want a real
disaster? Go look at the DoD. Every service has its own financial
reporting system -- no wait -- every service has lots of different
financial reporting systems. There have been a few futile attempts
to standardize with no success and almost no cooperation.
