Pelosi does not want to have to stop to refuel between Washington and California.
Or maybe sharks are after her and Pelosi needs a bigger boat.
Its because she is a big hypocrite. Why the bigger jet Pelosi and then she gets one of the most corrupt politicians in congress Murtha to harass the military into forcing them to give her the bigger jet

During a February 5 report on the use of a military aircraft to fly House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), CNN host Lou Dobbs falsely claimed that the military jet former House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL) used for domestic travel has the capacity to fly Pelosi nonstop to her district in California. Roll Call reported (subscription required) on February 5 that the plane Hastert used "needs to refuel every 2,000 miles and could not make the nonstop haul to California." Roll Call then quoted a Pelosi aide as saying, "The Air Force determined that [Pelosi's] safety would be best ensured by using a plane that has the fuel capacity to go coast-to-coast." On February 6, The Washington Post also reported that the plane Hastert "traveled in was too small to make it to California without refueling."
Dobbs made his claim on the February 5 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, following a misleading report by CNN correspondent Lisa Sylvester on the recent inquiries by Pelosi's staff and the Office of the Sergeant at Arms about the guidelines for the speaker's use of a military aircraft for domestic travel. Though Sylvester quoted from the Roll Call article reporting that the Defense Department would provide Pelosi with a bigger jet so she could fly nonstop to her district, Sylvester reported only that Hastert's jet was "smaller." She did not mention that it could not make cross-country trips without refueling.
Additionally, the CNN report included, and did not correct, a misleading statement by Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) that Pelosi was "asking for Air Force One-like accommodations" that had "never been afforded to any member of Congress in our nation's history." In fact, as previously noted, Pelosi's staff and the Office of the Sergeant at Arms inquired about the guidelines for the speaker's use of a military aircraft for domestic travel and a Pelosi aide said that the Air Force determined that Pelosi should use a plane with greater fuel capacity for safety reasons, as Roll Call reported. CNN provided no support for McHenry's claim that Pelosi was "asking for Air Force One-like accommodations." Roll Call quoted a Pelosi aide as saying, "All we're asking for is what Hastert had."
From the February 5 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight:
DOBBS: Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House, can now fly in style at your expense. Speaker Pelosi has been granted authorization to make use of military aircraft whenever she sees fit.

White House Defends Pelosi Plane Request
By JIM KUHNHENNAP
WASHINGTON (Feb. 8) - The White House on Thursday defended House Speaker Nancy Pelosi against Republican criticism that her desire to fly in an Air Force transport plane is an extravagance.
This is a silly story and I think it's been unfair to the speaker," White House spokesman Tony Snow said.
Republicans are taking issue with the size of the plane Pelosi would need to fly in to reach her hometown of San Francisco without refueling. There are three Air Force airplanes that have the fuel capacity to make the trip nonstop, with the largest being a C-32 plane, a military version of the Boeing 757-200.
In an interview with Fox News Wednesday night, Pelosi speculated that Department of Defense officials were distorting the story as retribution for her stance against the war and former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld .
"There are probably those in the Department of Defense who are not happy with my criticism of Secretary Rumsfeld, the war in Iraq , other waste, fraud and abuse in the Defense Department, and I guess this is their way of making their voices heard," she said.

here is the main issue I have with it. Why does she need a non stop flight when whatever plane she is on can land priority , get fueled in 30 minutes and takeoff again.
There may be security issues but what it comes down to is a high ranking politician not wanting to be inconvenienced.
I was going to jump all over this. But now I hear rest of story. And there's nothing there to report.
She asked for nothing. But two others did one a dem and one a reb. Set up for a story just any story. There so ready in D C to get the monkey of there back about Iraq. They will make shit out of milk if possible.

Somebody is making a story about it. There currently are actual negotiations going on about what plane she will be using. I guess it matters to someone??
D Haslett man who is still thereand reports to her know. Offered the suggestion to Murtha who said it made sense to have a plane that did not need to stop. No one said how big it had to be. Sounds like she gets same one he used. As far as im concern all of them can take a Bus. Starting with Bush. They can meet the people that way.
why would she want a military jet? ...doesn't she know her own home district wouldn't let it land anyway?......lol
actually murtha said that he`s convinced the pentagon has been leaking information about the possibility that pelosi would use large military planes to make her look bad....but he said, ”They’re making a mistake when they leak it because she decides on allocations for them,” referring to the pentagon budget.....in other words,"nice military...it would be a shame if anything should happen to it..."...
when I read the headline,i thought murtha was going to cut funding because they wouldn`t gave nan a big jet.....
b,ut appartently murtha is upset because the pubic is informed......
the gall of that phat phuck....thats how they support our guys. "give me a bigger plane or screw the troops?"...
nice..very nice...
nancy....remember howl gore....,"reduce the carbon footprint.....reduce the carbon footprint".......

c`mon....we don't really expect madam speaker to be on a plane that has to land for refuelling in, say, kansas or nebraska, do we?....i mean... madam speaker having to be around (sniff) those people?...
if she must have a monster 757 for family outings and fund=raisers for all those nancy-boys in her district,($300,000 per trip one-way),,i`ve got the military pilot just perfect for the job......
capt. nowak will be leaving nasa very soon:SIB
btw,can you imagine if nowak had been the commander of a trident sub?.....we`d probably be missing part of florida right now...

off the radio.....
The sergeant at arms (whoever he is) is taking totally responsibility for this whole story. He says he was the one looking into the entire plane matter and that she had nothing to do with it. Seems the Rep's did their homework on this one before jumping at the low hanging fruit.
