Pelosi's jet, let me know when you get enough!

[666]

Just got this in a email:



PELOSI'S JET, LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU GET ENOUGH!










PELOSI'S JET, LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU GET ENOUGH!





Pelosi's Jet.



This Jet is the USAF C-32, Boeing 757 that MADAME PELOSI uses.

And the Democrats want to talk about Sarah's dress??? Conservatives! Are you out there?

Madame Pelosi wasn't happy with the small jet USAF C-20B, Gulfstream III, that comes with the Speaker's job...no, Madame Pelosi was aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat 200-seat USAF C-32, Boeing 757 jet that could get her back to California without stopping!

Many, many legislators walked by and grinned with glee as Joe informed everyone that Nancy's Big Fat Jet costs us, the hard working American tax payers, thousands of gallons of fuel every week. Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California, cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000, one way! As Joe put it, 'Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday night.' Cost to us another $60,000.

Folks that is $480,000 per month and that is an annual cost to the taxpayers of $5,760,000. No wonder she complains about the cost of this war...it might cramp her style and she is styling, on my back and yours. I think of the military families in this country doing without and this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of this country, keeps fueling that jet while doing nothing.

Madame Pelosi wants you and me to conserve our carbon footprint. She wants us to buy smaller cars and Obama wants us to get a bicycle pump and air up our tires. These people are nuts.

If you think this is outrageous, forward it to all those on your email list! Keep in mind the figures above do NOT include cost of plane or crew, just fuel!

One wonders what her total package cost us? And she wants to tax our IRA's & 401 K's!

More good info!!! Enough to make a Saint Swear!!!

This is getting beyond bad. I can't even stand the site of that power hungry, hypocritical you know what...

I firmly believe these people are where they are because of the liberal media and Americans who cannot think for themselves anymore. God this really makes me mad, all the money that comes out of my paycheck to the government and that's wtf is going on. Lets see...who in their right mind pays someone a handsome salary to work three f'n days a week AND THEN fork out almost a half a million dollars a month to ship their worthless butt home every week.

You know what my boss would tell me (totally different I know) move your ass closer to the shop.

Like everyone else, if she works in DC, then she should live near DC. Why should we fly her around like a queen. The president lives in DC, why not her. WAH, I dont want to stop for fuel. I say the world would be better off if they did not stop for fuel and crashed that plane right into a mountain. Or maybe even the ocean John Denver style.

Actually, very few Congresspeople actually live in DC full time. Most of them commute fairly often, and shack up in hotels during the week.

Let's also remember that that is was Bush, in a post 9/11 world that created mandates for big wigs like Big P (sounds like a rapper, lol) who is 3rd in line to the presidency to fly on more secure Air Force aircraft and fly non-stop to their destinations whenever possible.

If you read the Snopes article, it appears that P averages less than one trip per month, had only used the big expensive jet once by the end of 2008, and never actually requested this aircraft, only asked about other options since the aircraft she was using didn't meet the non-stop requiements.
