Of course this is in response to Nancy’s childish whine of “He started it!”

tcn on March 12″

“Because it probably isn’t certified to fly higher than 5,000 feet. She would need to get to at least twice that height to get over the Rockies and Sierra ranges”

And the problem would be?

Hey I know How bout we strap some JATO pacts to her and right around Enders Nebraska, light em off!

What could go wrong?

Yeah, but she lives on the other coast. How’s she supposed to travel to and fro?

Pelosi ran for the office she holds. Traveling back and forth is her problem. Maybe she can borrow Hillary’s broom every now and then.

Now Michelle and MKH – hhhhhhhoooooooooootttttttttt!!!

SECOND LOOK AT PELOSI!

I’m good. No second helpings of that for me, please.

Enuf said.

The Secretary of State can use an old 707 to travel to other countries (or their Ministers can come here)

The various Congestitutes have reserved parking at Reagan-National Airport.

Tell me again why The House Madame needs her own private jet.

Don’t think we have any of the old 707′s left-those things are flying Model T’s nowadays. They do use smaller planes on occasion-I remember even seeing “Air Force 2″, the Vice Presidential plane landing here in New Hampshire during the days of Dan Quayle. It was a DC-9.

During that same Adminstration, Pappy Bush’s Chief of Staff was forced to resign in disgrace for using government planes for relatively short hops.

But several years later, no one made a fuss when the First Lady at the time used government planes to campaign for Senator of New York. Some people are more equal than others, as we all know.

As for the Dragon Lady needing a government plane, that was a direct result of 9/11. It applies to all senior government officials.

They always assure their European friends how much more like them they are than the rednecks in America proper.

Nice lie but still a lie. Coastal residents had no problem voting for an all Southern ticket: Arkansas, Tennessee. It’s the Southerners, who necessarily need to have one of their own.

How frigging fat are these eight Congressional delegations?

You can easily DRIVE 4 fire engines (the red one your town has) easily inside the cargo bay of a C-5

Or several M1A1 tanks and CH 53 helicopters.

Why did eight Congressional delegations need the largest jet in the western world!

OT – somebody explain how to do a link.

Seriously. Why not a military shuttle service? I mean, we have more Reps than any other state, why can’t they all just take one AF flight into SFO or SMF? From there they can drive the rest of the way, or catch a Southwest flight to anywhere else in the state.

Jet pooling. I like it.

Are there anti-American districts in America? I’d be curious to hear which ones.

Allahpundit on March 12, 2009 at 4:52 PM

This was covered in one of those SNL Tina Fey parodies of Sarah Palin, but you are surely aware why coastal dwellers in DC / LA / NY / SF call America fly over country. They always assure their European friends how much more like them they are than the rednecks in America proper.

The President of the United States uses the 747-200 to promote National Pride wherever the President goes.

DC-San Fran, $213 round trip, which I suspect is slightly cheaper than using a G5.

We’ll see if that link works.

Like every other congress-critter. She could share a ride with my Rep. Tom McClintock, and Dan Lungren. THAT would be an intersting 3 hours.

MM replied at her blog, emphasizing Madam Speaker’s imperiousness in requesting a military base for departure instead of a civilian airport — a privilege not even granted to the Secretary of Defense — and she makes a fair point in the clip about the hypocrisy of someone from an anti-military district flying military air. Even so, with the notable exception of the base request, seems like Hastert was as demanding as Pelosi is.

As I have a son in the USAF, the very thought that this hag could subject him to “serve” her on one of her weekend trips home, well…let me say it in an old southern way…it’s enough to puke a buzzard off a gut wagon.

Broom?

There are no coast-to-coast airlines available at Washington Dulles? She could book the entire First Class cabin of any of the major carriers for peanuts compared to the operating costs of her usage of Air Force aircraft.
