Pelosi's (D-CA) own personal Air Force


Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) screams and hollers when corporate CEO's fly around the country on private jets but have absolutely no problem demanding that the U.S. Air Force provide her with a luxury G5 to tool her and her family around the country for personal reasons.

Politicians love freebies, the question is why would the military allow her to do this?

If it's not serious official business she has no reason to be doing this. Ridiculous

Believe me I am no fan of Pelosi, she is way to partisan......just like most republican leaders :)

@ Flavor C ... i have no problem with high level, upper echelon government officials using military transport as long as it's official government business. i understand the need for security. BUT, using this aircraft as a personal tool just to shuttle you back and forth to your home every weekend is blatant misuse of government assets. take care!

I agree the Speaker should be flown by military jet, not to be used as a private fleet though. As far as the Air Force, why are they allowing this? Likely because she controls their budget.

Looks like the story was blown out of proportion now. Looks like Hastert traveled a lot more than she.

Check it out.

@ Flavor C ... so i guess what HOPE and CHANGE really meant was "i HOPE we win and then we can CHANGE who's abusing their power in Washington".

@Chuck ... yea, they do control the purse strings i'm sure.
