Get the headline right AP, the plane is mandated for the Speaker it has nothing to do with Pelosi, insipid story out of nothing!!
I have heard that the request was also made for extended relatives to have access as well, anyone got any info on that?
All the accusations of what has been requested have been from unnamed sources... when the fact is that the request for a non-stop plane came from Bill Livingood, the House sergeant-at-arms appointed to his job in 1995 by former Speaker Hastert.
And it doesn't matter whether or not there was a request for extended relatives ... it's not gonna happen. And that's not what the Republican House leadership criticized today ... they criticized the size of the plane.
It's the equivalent of "when you don't have a leg to stand on in an argument, attack the other person."
And it's too often reflective of what passes for politics in this country -- partisan crapola.
And away we go... somewhere, there is a brainstorming room full of Republicans whose sole purpose is to manufacture this kind of nonsense.
It is called the K Street Project and they live on as the multitude of think tanks funded by oil.
