Party o' the people?
"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is proving once again that the Democrat label of 'party of the people' is simply that: a label. Now, the San Francisco liberal is complaining about the size of the House speaker’s jet and requesting one much larger than Republican Dennis Hastert was provided," GOPUSA reports.
"Republicans have accused Pelosi of 'extravagance' and of wanting a plane where she could reward friends and associates. The Washington Times reported earlier this week that 'the Pentagon denied a request by Mrs. Pelosi to fly on a military aircraft to last weekend’s Democratic retreat in Williamsburg, a two-hour drive from Washington.'"
