Thunderbird & Mad Dog 20/20 for the speaker.

United States Air Pelosi

It’s become apparent over the last couple of days that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, The Sultana of Swag, has been boinking the ass of the American public by demanding transportation from the US military for not only herself, but her family as well. She’s been using her office to bully the Department of Defense into providing her “adequate” transportation that she apparently deems worthy of her office.

According to JudicialWatch.org,  Pelosi has been caught red-handed abusing the system with YOUR tax money. Not only has she abused the system, she’s been an arrogant bitch in the process. Now, if you’ve ever been in the military, regardless of branch, you know about “Space-A” (Space Available) travel or military “hops”. It’s an excellent way to get from place to place if you’re an active duty member of the military. It doesn’t cost anything to travel “Space-A” and the military doesn’t have to waste any money in the process. Why do I mention the wasting of money?

Apparently,  Pelosi has made arrangements to travel via a DoD Gulfstream G5 (Military Designation C-37A); no doubt a very expensive aircraft to fly. Well, she’s been known to cancel her travel arrangements at the very last minute, resulting in all that hard work by the support crews to be for naught. Now it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that pre-flighting an aircraft requires a great deal of work and time. That work and time costs money, who’s money, your money. The Department of Defense of course sustains itself on YOUR tax dollars, operating with your hard earned duckets and when work that is delayed or canceled, it rips the bills out of your wallet and flings them into the wind, forever lost. We all know about wasteful spending within the DoD as it’s been big news in the past, but for one of Obama’s “Special Children” and Obama’s platform of battling against wasteful spending [sic], you’d think SoS Pelosi would be spearheading the administration’s drive for responsible spending, but that’s not the case. Let’s look what happens over at the SoS’s office when things don’t go according to plan.

From JudicialWatch.org:

* In response to a series of requests for military aircraft, one Defense Department official wrote, “Any chance of politely querying [Pelosi's team] if they really intend to do all of these or are they just picking every weekend?…[T]here’s no need to block every weekend ‘just in case’…” The email also notes that Pelosi’s office had, “a history of canceling many of their past requests.”

* One DOD official complained about the “hidden costs” associated with the speaker’s last minute changes and cancellations. “We have…folks prepping the jets and crews driving in (not a short drive for some), cooking meals and preflighting the jets etc.”

* The documents include a discussion of House Ethics rules and Defense Department policies as they apply to the speaker’s requests for staff, spouses and extended family to accompany her on military aircraft. In May 2008, for example, Pelosi requested that her husband join her on a Congressional Delegation (CODEL) into Iraq. The DOD explained to Pelosi that the agency has a written policy prohibiting spouses from joining CODEL’s into combat zones.

* Documents obtained from the U.S. Army include correspondence from Speaker Pelosi’s office requesting an Army escort and three military planes to transport Pelosi and other members of Congress to Cleveland, Ohio, for the funeral services of the late Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Pelosi noted in her letter of August 22, 2008, that such a request, labeled “Operation Tribute” was an “exception to standard policy.”

* The documents also detail correspondence from intermediaries for Speaker Pelosi issuing demands for certain aircraft and expressing outrage when requested military planes were not available. “It is my understanding there are no G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable…The speaker will want to know where the planes are…” wrote Kay King, Director of the House Office of Interparliamentary Affairs. In a separate email, when told a certain type of aircraft would not be available, King writes, “This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset [s]peaker.”

* During another email exchange DOD staff advised Kay King that one Pelosi military aircraft request could not be met because of “crew rest requirements” and offered to help secure commercial travel. Kay King responded: “We appreciate the efforts to help the codel [sic] fly commercially but you know the problem that creates with spouses. If we can find another way to assist with military assets, we would like to do that.”

Well alright then, may I?

**One DOD official complained about the “hidden costs” associated with the speaker’s last minute changes and cancellations.“We have…folks prepping the jets and crews driving in (not a short drive for some), cooking meals and pre-flighting the jets etc.”

You  mean to tell me you wasted the time and money of the DoD by canceling your travel plans AFTER the process was completed? Listen Dumbass, in order for those military members to accomplish the tasks they’re ordered to do, they actually spend all that huge amount of cash you pay them to get back and forth. Having them spend money that they can otherwise use to EAT so that you can “maybe” travel in style is fkng pathetic.

How about this Pelosi, why don’t I book a trip to Hawaii in YOUR NAME, then cancel at the last minute with absolutely no hope of ever seeing YOUR MONEY again, hows that dumbass? Secretary of State my ass, they should make your skanky ass clean the heads in those aircraft for about a week.

**Pelosi requested that her husband join her on a Congressional Delegation (CODEL) into Iraq. The DOD explained to Pelosi that the agency has a written policy prohibiting spouses from joining CODEL’s into combat zones.

Hey Pelosi, you didn’t offer the same to me when I went to Iraq. I could have used some TLC from my spouse after being shot at and peppered with shrapnel from IED’s all day long. I guess I shouldn’t expect that entitlement huh? I’m just a low-life military member here to do your bidding and of course don’t rate the same as you.

**Speaker Pelosi’s office requesting an Army escort and three military planes to transport Pelosi and other members of Congress to Cleveland, Ohio, for the funeral services of the late Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones. Pelosi noted in her letter of August 22, 2008, that such a request, labeled “Operation Tribute” was an “exception to standard policy.”

An Army escort and three military aircraft to ferry your sorry asses to a funeral? I can understand the concern and grief over losing one of your hacks, but does it require military assets to hump your porky asses to a funeral? Take a commercial aircraft like the rest of us, or doesn’t that fit into your swaggy-assed lifestyle?

**The documents also detail correspondence from intermediaries for Speaker Pelosi issuing demands for certain aircraft and expressing outrage when requested military planes were not available. “It is my understanding there are no G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess.

Totally unacceptable huh? Maybe they’re actually being utilized in a military fashion you fkng dipshit. Since when do you have anything to do with the DoD and how they use their assets? Oh…and hey, Kay King, maybe you should start walking to these affairs anyway, have your boss Pelosi purchase you a fkng gym membership, you look like a feminine version of the Michelin Man….and have her use her OWN money.

**In a separate email, when told a certain type of aircraft would not be available, King writes, “This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset [s]peaker.”

An upset speaker, well we can’t have a pissy speaker now can we? If you put want in one hand and have in the other, see which one fills up faster…..fkng idjits.

**During another email exchange DOD staff advised Kay King that one Pelosi military aircraft request could not be met because of “crew rest requirements” and offered to help secure commercial travel.

If we can find another way to assist with military assets, we would like to do that.”

The problem it creates for spouses, are you fkng kidding me? I didn’t elect family members and I’m certainly not in favor of paying for their skanky asses to be flown back and forth. Have them haul their butts to the nearest airport and queue like the rest of us, shoeless and stinky. I have an idea, if you  must use military assets to ferry your spawn back and forth, have them herded into an Air Force base ops and plop their fat asses onto the bench seats of a C-130.

Which brings me to my point, finally. Instead of using aircraft like the G5 (C-37A) and the costs associated with an aircraft like that, have them fly “Space Available“. They can take a fkng taxi to Andrews and sign up for a military hop. It’s cheap considering the amount WE’RE paying when the C-37A is used. Herd them into a C-130, C-141 or a C-5. Give them a box lunch and a pair of fkng earplugs, lock them into a jump seat and tell them to shut the fk up for the duration. Otherwise, have Pelosi and her traveling “Band of Plate Spinning Monkeys” just use a commercial carrier, or doesn’t her $223.500 annual salary cover such expenses? In this era of economic meltdown, shouldn’t Obama, Pelosi and the rest of the “change” hacks start to practice what the rest of America is practicing, responsible spending? We certainly can’t spend like we have 24 hours left on this planet, worried not about the implications of our irresponsible actions, why should Capitol Hill? I imagine it’s because their heads would fkng explode if they had to actually be responsible, but it’s time for these hacks to start thinking, not just reacting like some sort of elitist gnat. Remember who you’re representing here, remember you were voted into the positions you hold and remember who the fck you work for.

A lot of us could probably afford a trip to Rome, Hawaii or Milwaukee….but just because we can doesn’t mean we should at this point in time. It’s called responsibility you bunch of fkng hacks, start taking your platform seriously and start thinking where that fkng money is coming from. If you want to win over THIS conservative, start walking the walk. I’m not just talking democrats here, republicans are just as fkng guilty of taking advantage of the American public. It just so happens that the SoS, CiC and that fkng moron Reid happen to be democrat and hold the reins right now. Show me some of that “change” that you spent fkng months spewing all over the media for fks sake, you’re all a bunch of fkng hypocrites.

Did you take the job for the perks, or did you take the job out of a deep seated sense of patriotism….I’m thinking the former and I base that belief on not from what spews from your cake-holes, but by your hypocritical actions.

This is getting pathetic…
