Pelosi's more-equal-than-thou hypocrisy is as unsurprising as this story not getting any more media attention. Still, one would think she'd at least have the decency downgrade to a Learjet or Citation for weekend jaunts as a show of solidarity.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly requested military aircraft to shuttle her and her colleagues and family around the country. Pelosi was notorious for making special demands for high-end aircraft, lodging last-minute cancellations, and racking up additional expenses for the military.
In one e-mail, aide Kay King complained to the military that they had not made available
any aircraft the House speaker wanted for Memorial Day recess. "It is my understanding there are NO G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable ... The Speaker will want to know where the planes are," King wrote.
In another, when told a certain type of aircraft would not be available, King wrote: "This is
not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset Speaker." Pelosi's office has not yet responded to requests for comment.
