I had heard that Speaker Pelosi's "little" plane couldn't make it to California without refueling, and then I heard she wanted a 747, but ended up with something smaller.
Then I got this email today. Think any part of it is true?
"Madame Pelosi wasn't happy with the private jet that comes with the Speaker's job ... no, Madame Pelosi was aggravated that this little jet had to stop to refuel, so she ordered a Big Fat 200 seat jet that could get her back to California without stopping!
"Many, many legislators walked by and grinned with glee as Joe informed everyone that's Nancy's Big Fat Jet costs us, the hard working American Taxpayers, thousands of gallons of fuel every week.
"Since she only works 3 days a week, this gas guzzling jet gets fueled and she flies home to California, cost to the taxpayers of about $60,000, One Way!
"As Joe put it, 'Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday Night.' Cost to us another $60,000.
"Folks, that is $480,000 per month and that is an annual cost to the taxpayers of $5,760,000. No wonder she complains about the cost of this war ... it might cramp her style and she is styling, on my back and yours.
"I think of the military families in this country doing without and this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of this country, keeps fueling that jet while doing nothing.
"Madame Pelosi wants you and me to conserve our carbon footprint. She wants us to buy smaller cars and Obama wants us to get a bicycle pump and air up our tires.These people are nuts!"
