Plosi One

CNN reports that Nancy's B757 operating costs are $22,000.00 an hour.

Geez, I used to think $125 an hours was expensive.

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?

She did request it. She believed that the GulfStream Hastered had used
was too small. 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.

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.

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

When did they make the C-17 bigger than the C-5A? I didn't know that it was
due for and up-sizing.

the VP has secret service protection. Some stupid congresscritter from
la-la land doesn't rate the same protection.

Looking for a sig the
lawyers will hate

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.

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.
