That's right, San Fran Nancy Pelosi, a woman who has nothing but antipathy for the military, has finally found a use for the military. They should be her chaffeurs. I imagine recruiting will go through the roof when young pilots-to-be learn that they can chaffeur that HAG around.
Now, in fairness, the former speaker also used miltary planes after 911, but Ms. "I'm gonna drain the congressional swamp of corruption" now wants her family, friends and the whole damn congressional delegation from California to be taxied around by the same military she never tires of undermining and insulting. What about the congressional delgations from Arizona, Nevada or any of the other 49 states? Should we pay to ferry them around or are they not as important as the California delegation?
I think NONE of those congressional leeches should be on a military plane unless they are flying into a war zone. They can "conduct business" the same damn way we everyday people (aka those who are footing the bill) do. A laptop and a commercial flight. They should have to suffer through the same indignities we do at the airport. After all, THEY caused them by refusing to allow the airlines to use common sense in their screening procedures.
But given that Ms Pelosi promised the "most ethical congress in history", this is especially hypocritical!!!
