This is from another site I frequent:

Nice small carbon footprint, Nancy.

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the Department of Defense (DOD) detailing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's multiple requests for military air travel. The documents, obtained by Judicial Watch through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), include internal DOD email correspondence detailing attempts by DOD staff to accommodate Pelosi's numerous requests for military escorts and military aircraft as well as the speaker's last minute cancellations and changes.
Quote:
Speaker Pelosi came under fire in 2007 for requesting a 42-seat Air Force carrier to ferry the Speaker and her staff back and forth between San Francisco, CA and Washington, DC. Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert was allowed access to a 12-seat commuter jet for security reasons after the events of 9/11.
"Taken together, these documents show that Speaker Pelosi treats the Air Force like her personal airline," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "Not only does Speaker Pelosi issue unreasonable requests for military travel, but her office seems unconcerned about wasting taxpayer money with last minute cancellations and other demands."
And
"There was a junket to visit NATO for 10 Senators and their spouses during the Congress break about a month ago. They went to Brussells, Paris and one other stop I forget. This was on a military aircraft. I am sure they weren't sitting in the back of a C-130 in the net seats. I wonder what that cost.
Oddly enough, they happened to wind up in Paris on Valentine's Day. What a lucky coincidence.
Maybe these people should read some history and refresh their memory on what happened to Marie Antionette when she and hubby were spending people's tax money on luxury while the citizen's were starving."
I had never heard of the judicial watch site. Interesting reading.
