CNN reports that Nancy's B757 operating costs are $22,000.00 an hour. Geez, I used to think $125 an hours was expensive. -- Dallas |

CNN reports that Nancy's B757 operating costs are $22,000.00 an hour. How many seats in a B757? It's Pelosi, and what B757? Can somebody identify "Nancy's B757" or demonstrate that she has ever used or even requested such at thing Here's one of the reasons I'm no longer a Republican. They lie like Democrats and then believe their own lies, and try to convince millions of otherwise-thinking people to believe them too. Even Tony Snow, on behalf of the White House, is telling them to STFU about it. "This is a silly story, and I think it's been unfair to the peaker." - Tony Snow. "It's not a question of size, it's a question of distance. We want an aircraft that can reach California." - Pelosi. "...I have said that I am happy to ride commercial if the plane they have doesn't go coast to coast." Dick Cheney flies to Jackson Hole in a C-17, doesn't he? -c |

If you have a newspaper you'll find the story inside. Congresspersons often get a large amount of their contributions by wooing businesses during their trips back and forth to DC. -Robert |

I'm not a Pelosi supporter, but I'll say that the politicians with help from
the news media have turned this story on it's side. I've got several news programs running here most of the time, including one on tv. It hasn't been reported much in recent hours, but I've heard it several times that what was requested was not an airplane, it was a LIST requested by a Pelosi staffer of airplanes that the government could make available to her and her staff which would be capable of making DC-CA non-stop. As Hastered's aircraft wasn't capable of a non stop flight, they requested a list of aircraft that could. On that LIST was a B757, as was a G5, and several other aircraft. I suppose they could have listed a C5. I'll be the first to admit how amazing it is that this fact has gotten lost in the media coverage and the sniping. It was clearly reported several days ago, but has not been lately. Again, I"m not supporting any of it, if it were up to me, they could all drive home on a pogo stick or a seatless unicycle. Jim |

By way of comparison, since everybody's swingin' on "Plosi" for the very
thing: http://www.mtexpress.com/2003/03-08-...8-06murphy.htm For this last stop before going to his vacation home in Jackson, Wyo., Cheney required: a.. The Air Force's largest transport, the four-jet C-17 Globemaster, to cart two armored Cadillac limousines and three Secret Service SUVs. b.. Two military Blackhawk helicopters for over-flight security and surveillance. c.. Two Air Force-operated twin-jet luxury Gulfstream jets. d.. An estimated two dozen Secret Service agents, plus vice presidential aides. e.. Added security from the Idaho State Police, Blaine County Sheriff's Office, and Bellevue, Hailey and Ketchum police departments stationed along state Highway 75. Counting a fund-raising stop in Salt Lake City that raised $300,000 and the Bellevue reception that harvested another $175,000, the irony is that government costs of this outing undoubtedly far exceeded contributions |

I have been watching this news group for sometime and finally need to
respond to this. Since when does the Idaho police from Hailey get involved with security in Jackson, Wy.? Hello! This is about half of the security and support staff, planes, etc. that accompany the President. You should have witnessed the Clintons vist to Jackson.

She believed that the GulfStream Hastered had used was too small. If you have a newspaper you'll find the story inside. I've found the story and it includes Tony Snow from the White House blowing the whistle on the whole issue and defending Pelosi. Maybe it's 'cause they don't want too much attention drawn to Cheney's C-17, (anybody here in Jackson Hole to confirm this? A woman at the FBO said whenever he comes home, a C-17 shows up with security and all and monkeywrenches all of the GA operations there.) Or, maybe Tony Snow is telling it straight. But the White House is defending Pelosi in the articles I've read today. -c |
