| Pelosi's Children and Grandchildren Used Military Jets As Private Cross-Country Shuttle Service So They Could Avoid Dealing With the Rabble. Is it a legitimate use of military jets to transport the Speaker of the House and her favored Congressional coterie for routine travel? Even if you believe it is -- and, personally, I do not -- any rational taxpayer would admit that it is monumental waste of money. Military flights cost between $5,000 and $20,000 per hour to operate. The Speaker and her passengers routinely reimburse the Air Force $120 to $400 for each flight. Since Nancy Pelosi took over as Speaker in 2006, she's rung up millions in military travel expenses to commute between San Francisco and Washington. Worse still, she also appears to have requisitioned entire flights for the personal use of her children and grandchildren. That is, unaccompanied by any member of Congress, her kids, in-laws and grandchildren are utilizing entire military passenger jets for their routine travel needs. |

| #10 What was the sum of 1980s-era House Speaker Dan Rostenkowski's ill-gotten gains? $20k in free postage, IIRC. And the current speaker has stuck the taxpayers with a tab in the millions. Nope, nothing to see here, please move along... |

| #6 Nancy needs to hang from a lamp-post in DC. She is totally corrupt, arrogant beyond belief, and a danger to children and other living things. The light on that lamp-post would be brighter than Nancy Peloosely. |

| #5 Too bad we don't have a Department of Justice; if we did we could have a prosecutor look into the obvious violation of law here. |

| #4 The federal debt is so staggeringly huge, that our children will be paying for this debt Pelosi has rung up at the expense of the American people. She trully sees herself and her family as a "ruling class" seen in the Soviet Bloc during the former Sovuet Union. |
