Cheney's entourage includes a C-17 Globemaster

More to the point, the Vice President's entourage includes a plane to
transport his bulletproof limousine. Does anybody here really think the
Democrats would cease this practice if they win the White House in '08?

I'll post it a third time if you want.

Nope.

But, I believe the point here is that it's hard for the Republicans to bash
on Pelosi for how much GREENHOUSE GASSES her friggin' alleged airplane,
which she doesn't have and hasn't used and according to the WHITE HOUSE
didn't request, when they're doing the same thing.

I'm not a Republican or a Democrat. ALL I EXPECT from those *******s is
that they start putting truth, integrity and the american people ahead of
their own party interest. Until then, they're all equally worthless.

Fair 'nuff, but you must admit the irony of Pelosi (a supporter of the
theory that human activity is the root of global warming) arriving at a
global warming conference in a gas-guzzling Suburban SUV (taxpayer-funded,
of course) and wanting regular cross-country trips in jet aircraft. Forget
party affiliation.

If you think human activity is causing global warming and you're the Number
3 leader of the country, put action to your rhetoric and lead by example.
(For the record, I believe I read recently she owns a hybrid SUV as a
personal vehicle.)

It's Pelosi, and what B757? Can somebody identify "Nancy's B757" or
demonstrate that she has ever used or even requested such at thing

She did request it. She believed that the GulfStream Hastered had used
was too small. If you have a newspaper you'll find the story inside.


I've found the story and it includes Tony Snow from the White House blowing
the whistle on the whole issue and defending Pelosi.

Maybe it's 'cause they don't want too much attention drawn to Cheney's C-17,
(anybody here in Jackson Hole to confirm this? A woman at the FBO said
whenever he comes home, a C-17 shows up with security and all and
monkeywrenches all of the GA operations there.)

Or, maybe Tony Snow is telling it straight. But the White House is
defending Pelosi in the articles I've read today.

Well, since Cheney has a super special C-17 that is larger than the
C-5A, I can see why they want to keep that top secret. :-)

Neither the White House nor Pelosi nor her staff requested the
C-32 (USAF version of the 757). The House Sgt at Arms requested
an aircraft that can travel non-stop for security reasons. This
has become standard practice in the past 6 years.

There are a bunch of biz-jets that will fly coast-to-coast non-stop.
This doesn't require a 757 unless you want to carry a LOT of friends ...
oh, never mind!

He can't count so expect to see it again.

Regardless, it seems this story has been made to be larger than it really
is. The Speaker is second in line to succeed the President and is entitled
to more security than most other public servants. While the use of the C-32
was apparently an option, it appears she didn't specifically request it, but
rather a plane with transcontinental range.

Let's get real here for a moment. Speaker Hastert utilized a C-20B,
which was wasteful enough to give to a Congressman. Why isn't that good
enough for Pelosi? If she uses the "transcontinental range" excuse
because she doesn't feel like stopping, it's pure baloney. The C-20 is
a Gulfstream III, which has more than enough range to get from
Washington DC to San Fransisco. Unless Washington has floated out to
sea on all of this hot air.

Good grief, the government types need to cut this crap out with our
money! A first class ticket and security detail would be cheap.

Hey, stop pointing out that hyper hypocrisy! No fair. Hybrid SUV, and
she wants a personal airliner jet to haul her butt from one end of the
country on demand, at everyone else's expense of course. Sort of
reminds you of Al Gore taking a Boeing 707 (yes that's seven ought
seven) with a few cronies to attend a meeting in Japan about the horrors
of global warming a few years back! What better way to preach about the
environment than take the least efficient, noisiest, dirtiest plane you
can find?

Congress recently declared a crackdown on riding for free on corporate
jets. Now we see the outcome of that, fly even bigger jets and send the
bill to the poor taxpayer.
