- Released documents detailing House Speaker Pelosi's use
of United States Air Force aircraft between March 2009 and June 2010. The
data are published in the Judicial Watch Verdict of December 2010, Volume
16, Issue 12.
-
- Here are the main highlights revealed by the USAF. Keep
in mind that all the data below relate to United States Air Force aircraft
used by one woman over a sixteen month period.
-
- Several of these flights included Ms Pelosi's guests
such as grown children, grandchildren, various in-laws, friends, and hangers-on.
-
- Over 95% of the trips were between the west coast and
Washington, DC or what we might call a commute between home and the office.
-
- Total trips: 85 trips over a 68 week period or 1.25 average
trips per week.
- Total mileage: 206,264 miles or 2,427 average miles per
trip
- Total flying time: 428.6 hours or an average of 5 hrs
per trip
- Cost to the taxpayers: $2,100,744.59 or $27,715.00 per
trip or $1,285,162.00 per year
- Cost of in flight food and alcohol: $101,429.14 or $1,193.00
per trip or $62,051.00 per year.
-
- On one junket to Baghdad, according to the Air Force
report, she had the aircraft bar stocked with Johnny Walker Red Scotch,
Grey Goose Vodka, E&J Brandy, Bailey's Irish Creme, Maker's Mark whiskey,
Courvoisier Cognac, Bacardi Rum, Jim Beam Whiskey, Beefeater Gin, Dewars
Scotch, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Jack Daniels Whiskey, Corona Beer and several
varieties of wine. This was obviously a very important "gubment bidness"
trip.
-
- Evidence generally speaks for itself, and in Ms. Pelosi's
case it speaks the language of abuse and (evidently) a serious familial
drinking problem, for in a single year she and her spawn drank an amount
in excess of the net income of the average employed
- American! When she said, "... if the stimulus doesn't
pass, five hundred million people might lose their jobs...", I thought
she was unintentionally revealing her ignorance. I'm now more inclined
to think she was pickled.
-
- Even though she can no longer abuse the USAF, she can
either fly on her broom, or fly Southwest Airlines, where bags fly free.
