I hope that's not the case.
The way the lib media are handling Madame Nancy Pelosi's latest demand is clearly slanted.
The Associated Press story has the headline "GOP bristles at Pelosi plane request."
I think a better headline would be "Pelosi abuses her power, rips off taxpayers, destroys environment."
WASHINGTON -- Republicans on Wednesday assailed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's request for access to an Air Force transport plane as an extravagance, though former Speaker Dennis Hastert flew in a military jet as well.
Republicans are taking issue with the size of the plane Pelosi has requested. Pelosi had asked for access to a C-32 plane, a military version of the Boeing 757-200.
...Hastert, an Illinois Republican, flew in a small commuter-sized jet. Pelosi and her aides say that because her congressional district is in California, her security would require a larger plane that can fly coast to coast without refueling.
"It's not a question of size, it's a question of distance," Pelosi said Wednesday. "We want an aircraft that can reach California."
Navy Cmdr. Jefrey Gordon, a Pentagon spokesman, said Wednesday that Pelosi would be offered "shuttle service for no more than 10 passengers between Washington and San Francisco only based on aircraft availability."
"This does not guarantee nonstop transport," Gordon said.
Rep. Adam Putnam of Florida, the No. 3 Republican leader, said he supported the tradition of House speakers having access to secure airplanes with secure communications in the post-9/11 era, because of their spot in the presidential line of succession.
But he called Pelosi's desire for a large transport "an extravagance of power that the taxpayers won't swallow."
What sort of example is she setting by demanding such an extravagant plane?
She seems to be a typical Dem big spender.
I'd like to know what Al Gore have to say about Pelosi's giant jet request.
How many more polar bears would be stranded on melting ice because Pelosi insisted on using a 757 for her travels?
She seems to have no qualms about recklessly spending the people's money (AKA taxes) on a personal jumbo jet.
The Speaker of the House is looking like a jumbo hypocrite.
