Correct Krafty Ken. If I'm not mistaken Hastert's (the former speaker) plane had a range of something like 6000 miles. Last time I checked my geography San Francisco was roughly half that distance from DC.

Pelosi is also one of those HYPOCRITES (and yes she and Gore deserve capital letters) who tells us we are killing mother earth by driving our SUV's when she will consume more fossil fuels in ONE TRIP HOME than I will in driving my SUV for the next year. Goreophiles and Pelosi defenders say, "yeah but they donate to good causes to offset their carbon footprint, so it's ok" The exact term for this is "carbon offsets".

So applying THEIR own rationale, if Adolph Hitler would have just donated some money to the Jewish Defense League then he wouldn't have been an anti-semite. Yeah, it is ludicrous and yet some people still listen to these HYPOCRITES!!
