    No worries, he is right where he wants to be. His work in Indiana is challenge enough.

    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.

    I saw a news clip of her last night. She said just because she is a woman doesn't mean she will accept any thing less than the last speaker of the house. I totally agree. But she shouldn't get more either. Why can't she use the plane he used? I'm sure it's not that old or any thing!!!

    While I'm ranting: What is with Hillary? If I hear her say this one more time, I may explode: "If I had been elected at the last election we wouldn't be in this war!"
    Hello Missy!!! I didn't see your name on the ballot any where so SHUT UP!!!

    I think we need new rules for electing a president:
    1. No one making over $100,000 a year could run!!! Let the people who are in touch with the real issues run the country for a while. It would stop the buying voters too.
    2. Canidates would have to travel by bus or train across the country and meet the voters. Give them a view of what is happening. They would be required to vist all 50 states at least once.
    3. No mud slinging would be allowed - EVER!!!
    4. Only what the canidate believes in and would really vote for would be allowed on tv ads. Anyone who mud slings, even once, would be disqualified from running.
    5. The winner MUST keep their campaign promises. If they break 3 promises, they will be thrown out of office and the next runner up would be put in office. If he/she blows it - out they go and the next one gets a shot.
    6. In the event that no one could run the country, I will take over. Believe me, no one (not even me) wants that to happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Got me, I forgot my deoderant the other day, I thought that was the stench following me around...

    I guess you have seen "El Pendejo".

    ------------------

    My mom told me this one time....

    "who cares what your car looks like, as long as it gets you there"
    Having never traveled in a G5 or a 757, I guess my opinion is not valid.

    ------------------


    I have always checked the box for the three dollar contribution on my federal income tax for the campaign fund,I will be danged if I am going to pay for someone to fly a 757 back and forth on my dime....


    She can use her broom....

    I feel better,


    Ah....And I thought that last line was gas....

    Jane Harman,
    Mitt Romney,
    loved the Kennedys
    Willie Brown
    The last LAPD chief, now city councilman.can't think of his name.

    A few of the Lost Angeles Locals

    And the guy driving the bus.

    I am a registered Dem.....But they have wussed out lately and don't
    care for the "suspend reality and let's kinda pretend there are laws in place" mentality.


    For example.

    It irks me to no end about the whiners in Congress that hold GWB to blame for everything.

    And it's the same AHs that voted for the war. They are just as much to blame - They voted for it and now they are backpedalling faster that Lance Armstrong goes moving forward.

    Now the insurgents are stepping up the attacks on the military because they see that the politicos that are screaming to get them out of Iraq.

    They seem to believe that they can absolve themselves of a vot for war by being the standard bearers for getting them out.

    But remember, they support the troops but not the war.

    ES.

    Thank god it didn't smell.
