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.....

Where did you get this info Richard?

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.

LOLOLOLOL,

For security reasons she has a number of military bases to stoip at.

It has nothing to do security. IT has to do with that "female makes good-lookie at what I can get" syndrome;

This AH tells everyone that she wants to keep a eye on waste and she wants a 757 to carry her arse back and forth...

Well, the noblest thing she could to is fly commercial and make good on her promises,

Greta Van Cistern caught her in her headlights the other night and Ma-DAMN
Speaker stuttered likea scratched 33 and 1/3 album.

If she wants to go non stop back home I do have a suggestion for her...

astronaut diapers

And what was the smack about the 'I won't go smaller than the Male Speaker?"

If she checks her inseam, she'll see that bigger ain't better for her.
