Wasn't she complaining about GM and Ford executives flying in itty bitty jets?

www.snopes.com/politics/pelosi/jet.asp

Note how Snopes tries so hard to spin this, then has to admit at the end that it's TRUE (while claiming it's "false").

Nancy Pelosi's Big Fat C141 for $500,000/month non-stop flights to California - Note old-school turboJET engines produce EXTRA greenhouse gasses

BTW, Pelosi's "qualification" for Congress to run the nation was that she was a HOUSEWIFE, who NEVER HELD A JOB IN HER LIFE. (Mafia princess)

Cyndy Sheehan's exit polls showed Sheehan beat Pelosi by up to 60%. Mafia unions backed Pelosi because they love exporting jobs? Looks like computers flipped the vote.

I couldn't find any mention in the Snopes piece about her using the C-141 Starlifter. I *did* find mention of her using a C-40, the military version of the Boeing 737-700, which is a MUCH smaller plane than the C-141.

Still, I find it rather hard to believe that they couldn't find something smaller and more efficient that would still make the 2000-mile hop without refueling...

Awww, c'mon. Granny Pelosi needs to be able to see her kid and grandkids every other weekend! Don't be so cold hearted! Sheesh.

I bet Cindy Sheehan would have flown something greener. Oh well. Maybe Nancypants should be taken off the table in 2010...

I've got a big fat 'magic' jet ; gets AMAZING mileage , but if sillywop Pelosi wants to get on it , she'll have to Ride It BACKWARDS ,
'cause I can't stand the sight of her face...

You forgot the baggage - remember, her ego has to fit in there too, I'm suprised she didn't need a C-5A.

Can't get the C-5A anymore...Eventually , they were all upgraded to C-5B .

C-17 is also a big fat jet...

Very capacious inside , but it lacks having as much fuselage length and cargo capacity as the Lockheed Galaxy C-5's...
Cheaper to operate , though , with high-bypass turbofans...

Still , one gets a 'Serenity cargo bay' feeling from being in the payload zone of the C-17...

Meh, I only remembered that much cause I was threatened with the considerably unpleasant job of changing the tail light bulbs on one in retaliation for flipping my IR headlights on when the Lt was sitting on my trucks front bumper...

Took him a bit to notice, and by then his BDUs were smouldering, meh heh heh.

I was a ground pounder, I don't jump outta perfectly good airplanes unless they're on fire, thankee verra muchly.
