Nancy Pelosi Flying High
“The drinks are on Nancy!”
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
and members of her family and
staff took 85 tax-paid trips on
military aircraft between
March 2, 2009,
and June 7, 2010,
according to new documents
uncovered by Judicial Watch,
Mark Tapscott reports
October 14th, 2010 in
The Washington Examiner.
Pelosi’s daughter,
son-in-law and two grandsons
were on the June 20, 2009,
flight from Andrews AFB to
San Francisco where Pelosi resides,
according to the documents.
On July 2, 2010,
Pelosi took a grandson on a flight
from Andrews to Travis AFB,
north of San Francisco.
Judicial Watch obtained the documents
as a result of a January 25, 2009,
Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) request.
Previous documents received
by the non-profit watchdog group
revealed that Pelosi’s travel
“cost the United States Air Force
$2,100,744.59 over a two-year
period –
$101,429.14 of which was
for in-flight expenses,
including food and alcohol,”
according to Judicial Watch.
“For example,
purchases for one
Pelosi-led congressional
delegation traveling
from Washington, DC,
through Tel Aviv,
Israel to Baghdad,
Iraq May 15-20,
2008 included:
Johnny Walker Red scotch,
Grey Goose vodka,
E&J brandy,
Bailey’s Irish Crème,
Maker’s Mark whiskey,
Courvoisier cognac,
Bacardi Light rum,
Jim Beam whiskey,
Beefeater gin,
Dewar’s scotch,
Bombay Sapphire gin,
Jack Daniels whiskey,
Corona beer and
several bottles of wine.”
“Pelosi’s abusive use of military
aircraft demonstrates a shocking
lack of regard for the American
taxpayer and the men and women
who serve in the U.S. Air Force.
Speaker Pelosi may have a frequent
flyer record for taxpayer-financed
luxury jet travel,”
said Judicial Watch
President Tom Fitton.

If one totaled up all the crimes Nancy Pelosi did against the country’s best interest, I suspect she would be out of prison in about 822 years from now, if she was incarcerated today.
