    waaahhhh!!
    Madame speaker needs a bigger military plane.


    Like WTFITAB?

    She wants a bigger plane for her family?

    Isn't she a successful business owner?

    Like why do I have to pay for her "grandkids" to go visit her.

    Talk about pork.....

    --------

    That is the reason she wants the Armed Forces back in the U.S....



    She wants a C-5 or -141 at her beck and call!

    Richard,

    She can have all the Starlizards she wants (C-141s).

    I'm sure she could go out to Davis-Monthan and pick one out for her very own, but she might have a rough time getting a flight crew. The USAF no longer uses them. They were retired for SEVERE maintenance issues.

    be fair here. she didn't ask for more then speaker hastert got. he lived in illinois, where a smaller plane could reach without refueling, her home is in california, same size plane needs to refuel to reach california. this type of transport was set up after 9-11 when the white house realized maybe the person two hearts beats away from the oval office needed a little more security

    Actually, no, the same sized aircraft could reach CA, A gulfstream G-V, which is the same physical size aircraft as the one Speaker Hastert had (His bird was a G-III) but has a much longer range.

    She did not request one certain type plane. If fact, she didn't have to
    ask at all since it's mandated by law that the speaker have this transport
    available. The House Speaker is 3rd in line to suceed the Prez.

    Liz, It all depends on which of the dozens of articles you read on the topic whether she or her staff requested anything.

    As usual, too much spin, little substance from all sides.
