Pelosi spends $2,100,744.59 over a two-year period

The original link is not working.


This is along the same vein.

Last year, Judicial Watch made big news by exposing Nancy Pelosi’s boorish demands for military travel. According to the internal DOD correspondence we uncovered the Speaker has been treating the U.S. Air Force as her own personal airline. And not only was her staff demanding, arrogant and rude, but the Speaker cost taxpayers a lot of money by making last minute cancellations and changes to the itinerary. This week, Judicial Watch obtained documents from the Air Force that shed a bit more light on this ugly story. According to the documents, which we obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the Speaker’s military travel cost the Air Force $2,100,744.59 over a two-year period — $101,429.14 for in-flight expenses, including food and alcohol. (Lots and lots of alcohol.) The following are highlights from the recent release of about 2,000 documents, which you can read here:

Yeah who should worry about the Speaker of The House using millions of the tax payers dollars and our military has chauffers for her kids?

Just because its corrupt doesn't mean that we should know about it. Bad form Fox News for bringing this to our attention, bad form.

Your link doesn't work.
I hope your kidding,the air force should not be "chauffeuring"around the techno chickens' kids.

I found this while looking for your link.

Taxpayers Pay $101,000 for Pelosi's In-Flight 'Food, Booze'

It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey's Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey … and Corona beer. But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for "in-flight services" – including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That's almost $1,000 per week.

the rest

The entire group of politician in Washington need to be fired. ALL of them. Yet the problem will remain because the voters have the mentality that it isn't "MY" representative. Then they elect the losers back into office. Like here in RI Kennedy has been in rehab more than his office. Yet we elect in him constantly.

So you were being sarcastic.Good cause FOX news is the only one keeping us informed(out of the msm).

Go figure! And the whack jobs in CA will just continue to re-elect her and her ilk as their sad, sorry state tanks! I read recently that they are predicting that CA runs out of money by April! Seems Nancy is taking a bit of that CA spirit to DC and trying to bankrupt the whole country.

The Mexicans can have CA for all I care - as long as Pelosi goes with it!!!

Term limits (just like the President). Salary Cap. Bonus cap and only if there is improvement (just like in a regular job). Tight budget on expenditures (travel and per diem and whatever else they are using tax payer money on).

Term limit: get the trash out and new fresh people in. Pelosi and those like her would no longer be around.

Salary/Bonus cap with restrictions: ensures they work their arse off and are not getting paid high dollars for doing nothing. Unemployment remains low, etc.....no bonus for that year.

Budget on expenditures: ensures no abuse like Pelosi has done. Forces her to take commerical.

This is the first step in getting rid of these hypocritical idiots.

Does the change of tone now mean that you no longer intend for this to become a FNC bashing thread?

Just asking because your OP looked nothing like the one you changed it to.

Trial lawyer Gerry Spence made the statement live on CNN a few years ago "There's some people just need killin"

But that is what he said... not me. Probably best not make statements like that in this environment especially as regards the speaker of the house.. even as evil as she is..

Anyway, I think the voters will put her out on her wicked witch of the west posterior next time she is up for election.

Probably would be a good idea if the mod deleted your post.

Better than term limits, let's elect a real American, two-fisted John Wayne type to the presidency to take some hard core control. Live executions on the Congressional floor on live TV for crap like this will fix a whole lot of problems real quick. Especially when that president visits the family at the visitation and demands the $1.07 for the bullet used.

There were a few things that the Russians did that put things in proper perspective for their party leaders.

The post originally was posted with sarcasm, because of the large number of people here that are ignorant to the fact that all MSM is crap. You have to read it all,sift through the chit to get the corn so to speak.

I had to change the whole thing because my original link died. The only related story I could find is what is posted now.

NO WONDER our economy isnt getting any better, Pelosi is drinking enough for the US to go into a depression. That is ALOT of alcohol.
Not only that, she didnt pay to get "buzzed", we did. WE PAID to KEEP her DRUNK so she could "work". What a sick Bizznatch.

WHY is she allowed to use the Air Force as her escort? Shes not in the damn military, shes not the Pres or Vice Pres. She has no reason at all
to be using our air force for her own buisness, or for the nations buisness.
If she wants to fly on the taxpayers dime, use COMMERCIAL airlines.

after 9/11 as the speaker is 3rd in line for the Presidency it was decided for security reasons they could usa a USAF jet

A leader is an individual that brings a community into true consensus, and is furthermore able to guide and motivate them. Anyone in Washington fit this description?

Do not worry my friend.
Im not actually going to kill her, besides.. Im in the UK
people like this though, enfuriate me no end! They abuse their power and think they can do whatever they like whilst others suffer

I used to think there was nothing more infuriating to an American than "f"ing with their money. They get very angry over money.

So why in God's name would she go and spend my money on booze? (some of which is the expensive stuff) That's my money, not hers. Why are we bailing out major corporations that just use it to give out huge bonuses. That's my money not theirs.

I'm starting to get real sick and tired of my money getting spent on trash!

This behavior is insulting! She ought to be brought before some committee to investigate this immense waste of government resources and taxpayer dollars. Plus, she ought to be made to reimburse the government for her misuse of government funds. Ms. Pelosi, is not above the law and certainly not the President of the United States. She runs around like an aristocrat or person of title. This woman is nothing more than a public servant, akin to a councilman, mayor, police officer; not a queen!

Why, she has been getting re-elected is beyond me? This material ought to be plastered at the top of every newscast on all networks and she ought to be grilled by a sea of reporters every waking moment she is free from the congressional floor. I don't care if she is in the finest restaurant in Washington for a quite dinner with her family, there ought to be a reporter at the other grilling her beyond belief about this misconduct. If the press were actually doing their jobs and little more courageous, she would have been out a long time ago.

The press ought to be on her like white on rice. Why should she get a pass, and other politicians get nailed for corruption. If this behavior is not corruption and abuse of elected position for personal gain, then I what is corruption? This is not a partisan rant, because I would say the same about a Republican as well. This type of behavior ought to be contested at all times. Hopefully, the good people of the Bay Area for once will make a sane and rational decision and vote this woman out of office. She needs to go and all her ilk.
