it is also a fact that Ms. Pelosi’s chief counsel, Bernard Raimo, negotiated with the Department Of Defense for a larger plane — and for who could be allowed passage on it.
It was reported that Pelosi wanted room for her STAFF, plus FAMILY AND FRIENDS. Mr. Hastert’s rare trips had included himself and two aides.-

My fellow Christian Conservatives have no standing to stand in judgement of what is a lie. None whatsoever. It's completely disingenuous to do otherwise.
Or, as the story goes ... before you complain about the splinter in the eye of a Liberal ... please ... take the log out of your own eye.
The very foundation of belief for the right wing is a foundation of lies.
That is why my fellow Christian Conservatives are so addicted to listening to Rush Limbaugh.
Your upset with Pelosi about some accusation?
LOL!!!
It is to laugh.
The spokesperson for your Neo-Conservative Movement ... Rush Limbaugh has built a career out of lies ... and yet ... my fellow Christian Conservatives run to listen whenever he beckons ... he is ... the MESSIAH to y'all.
How fitting then that he is a liar.
For it is fitting that a Liar be the spokesperson for the Lie that is the Modern Republican Party.
Here, check out this link that explains the lies of Rush Limbaugh.
http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1895
And yet ... what is Rush Limbaugh .... .... .... he's a homosexual that condemns homosexuality ... he's a draft dodger that calls our American Soldiers PHONY .... .... ....he's condemnatory of drug addicts - and yet ... he's a drug addict .... .... .... he rants against the ACLU ... and yet ... he runs to them when he got in trouble with the law.
In short ... Rush Limbaugh is the very essence of a Liar ... and a Hypocrite .... and my fellow Christian Conservatives worship him as the Messiah of "Right-Speak".
He is representative of the Modern Republican in so many ways. After all ... the Modern Republican claims to be a:
Fiscal Conservative ... who spend like they are addicted to spending.
Friend of the Military ... who short change the veteran at every opportunity.
Friend of the Common Man ... who stabs the middle class in the back at every opportunity.
National Security Expert ... who didn't even know about 9/11
National Security Expert ... who is so incompetent, they can't even react to a Class 3 Hurricane.
It makes PERFECT sense that Rush Limbaugh is the Christian Conservative Messiah.
A proven Liar ... to promote the Proven Lie of Neo-Conservatism.-

once again, it's apples and oranges, Goppy.

Limbaugh, as dispicable as he may (or may not) be, is NOT on the taxpayer's dime. He is funded by his sponsors. Once he stops making money for his sponsors, he will be dropped like a hot potato, regardless of his views.
Speaker Pelosi, on the other hand, is fully funded by the taxpayers of this nation -- not even just those from San Francisco, but the entire US -- as is every other US Representative.
So, when Limbaugh demonstrates consipicuous consumption and appears to burn his money because of an apparent sense of entitlement, it is, perhaps, dispicable, but no sweat off me, because I am not in any way responsible for his funding. When Speaker Pelosi (or any other member of Congress, democrat or republican) demonstrates conspicuous consumption and appears to burn money because of an apparent sense of entitlement, it IS my concern because those are my tax dollars at work.
See the difference?-

--But why should anyone take anything you (or anyone else on the right) cries about when you're dead silent regarding much, MUCH, more egregious instances of taxpayer funded greed perpetrated by Republicans? Exactly, amazed...We don't care what you suspect Nancy Pelosi has done. Not at all. ;-(

Not a big fan of the first amendment, huh?

Only those who agree with you have a "place in American society"?????
What happens when those who are deciding which ideas and opinions have a place in society and which do not decide that YOUR opinions are "completely biased" (whose aren't? duh!) and "has no place in American Society"?
And, even as a "patron of Newsmax which is supported by the RNC", he is STILL funded by private dollars, not tax dollars.
And, as an American citizen, he has the RIGHT to be biased and bigoted and outspoken and obnoxious.
So do you. -

I hesitate to get involved in an OLD story, but, most of you on both sides of the issue are missing some key points:
Reply
(1) Dennis Hastert used a SMALL Lear jet and usually travelled with 2 aides.
(2) Bill Livingood (House sarge-at-arms) made the request for a LARGER plane, one capable of transcontinental flight. Whether prompted by Pelosi's people is in dispute.
(3) Even if all of the allegations can be "explained" away, there is NO JUSTIFICATION for the C-40 (military version of the Boeing 737). There are MANY executive aircraft (including larger Lears, some Grummans, Falcons, and Hawkers) that are capable of transcontinental flight at much lower cost to the taxpayer. What? Do you people think our military personnel NEVER have to fly coast-to-coast? Puhleeeeze people, just think about it.
(4) So the only question of significance regarding Pelosi is: Did Pelosi request a plane big enough for "family and friends"? And I can find no evidence/testimony to support or refute that allegation. But, it is strange that no one has refuted it!!
Perhaps the criticism of Pelosi is deserved???-

I think a better question is, why should anyone accept the spin of a clearly biased source such as this one? pc and co are swift to shoot down anything from the NYT and dismiss it as "liberal media" bias so how on earth is this story significant at all? All one needs to do is look at the items on this story's page to know that it's biased to an extremely far right fringe extreme. Toilet paper. ;-(
