Must not have been too long ago when congressman all flew commercial. Its a crisis even she must sacrifice or find other employment.
Quote from Landis82:
Some of you guys are not very good students of recent modern history.
After the 9/11 attacks, it was deemed that anyone with two heartbeats from the Presidency warranted a military jet.
Thus, the House Speaker has always had a jet, including Republican Dennis Hastert. It's just that Hastert only needed a "smaller" jet given that his trips to and from his Illinois home were less than 2,000 miles and did not require the need to refuel.
Nothing new here.

I didn't know that. Is it true, a paid for by the taxpayer private jet? Then fuck it, I could care less about this country and the economy. If they're not even going to attempt to sacrifice then why should I care. What does that dingbat Pelosi need a jet for that she can't go commercial or make phone calls. At some point you just say fuck it all and thats my point.
