Air Force One Pelosi

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Reuters)

All week people have been slamming House Speaker, Nanacy Pelosi, for misusing Air Force One and other military planes, as though they are her own private jets. It seems to me, Pelosi is very free with spending the American people’s tax money when she should be trying to save it.

Report: Pelosi Uses Military Planes Like Private Jet

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi seems to treat the Air Force like her own personal airline. Well, that’s according to Judicial Watch, a public interest group that has Defense Department documents dishing the dirt on Pelosi’s frequent requests for military air travel. Pelosi apparently really likes the G5 plane, in particular...

Michelle Malkin writes in the New York Post:

As speaker, Pelosi is entitled to reasonable military protection and transport. But it’s the size of the planes, the frequency of requests and last-minute cancellations, and the political nature of many of her trips that scream out for accountability. And, of course, it’s the hypocrisy. There’s the eco-hypocrisy of the Democratic leader who wags her finger at the rest of us for our too-big carbon footprints, and crusades for massive taxes and regulation to reduce global warming. Then there’s the Bay Area hypocrisy of the woman who represents one of the most anti-military areas of the country soaking up military resources to shuttle her (and her many family members) across the country almost every weekend."
