Taxpayers pay $101,000 for Pelosi's in-flight 'food, booze'

Those planes are expensive and also paid for by taxpayers $$, just throw them out over the mountain without a parachute (save more tax $).

Like many Democrats say, you've gotta spend money in order to turn this country around. I'd be willing to sacrifice one multi-million dollar jet in order to put her out of our misery.

She reminds me of the Crypt-Keeper in the old "Tales from the Crypt" series on HBO.

There is an uncanny resemblance:

Geez, it would take me an entire 3 day weekend to run up a tab like that. The printed receipt looks similar to the one from my buddy's bachelor party, except for the merlot. And our receipt had gummy bears and Doritos on it.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

I'll do it. It'll be just like the old Bugs Bunny cartoons where they pull the cord and an anvil or kitchen utensils come pouring out the back.

Boy do I hate her.

9/11 forced this.
I'm surprised there is not a small jet that has 3500 mi range. Doesn't the Starship have that.
A little review by FAA should be able to come with a list of candidates

What is and isn't in the inventory? There was a big spiel on this a couple years ago, remember?

As much as I'm not a fan of Pelosi there are certain reasonable needs.

100K bar tab isn't reasonable.

This is true, after 9/11 Bush asked that the Speaker of the House be afforded more security. Because Pelosi lives on the west coast, the plane that Hastert used to take doesn't have the range.

Something about this entire story strikes me as odd. A single story from WND who's known to post false or inaccurate bunk as news, runs the rumor mill but has no credible reporting...

I'd wager it's being taken out of context or otherwise heavily spun.
