Taxpayers Pay $101,000 for Pelosi's In-Flight 'Food, Booze'
(FoxNews - Jan. 29, 2010)

It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey's Irish CrÃ¨me, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey â€¦ and Corona beer.

But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for "in-flight services" â€“ including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That's almost $1,000 per week.

Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Judicial Watch, which investigates and prosecutes government corruption, show Pelosi incurred expenses of some $2.1 million for her use of Air Force jets for travel over that time.

"Speaker Pelosi has a history of wasting taxpayer funds with her boorish demands for military travel," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said today. "And these documents suggest the Speaker's congressional delegations are more about partying than anything else."

Our leaders are NOT serving the people! Our leaders are serving themselves! A revolution by us tax paying citizens is long over due towards our leaders that take from our treasury for their own benefit and comfort.

The end of life as we know it is very near! The crazy azz people in this country voted these sick mother fukkerx into office. This information was well known prior to election, just as was the questionable information about our so called President, yet they got the votes.

To this day crazy azz ignorant people like Sparks still don't get it. There will not be a revolution, just a simple end. It will not be long before we are worse than all the other crazy azz third world countries, there will be killing in the streets. What do these people think their lives will be like when this entire country is a pile of useless crap?

How can this woman be acceptable by any standard, how can there be ANY type of acceptable explanation for this spending, just like her jet?

Think about it. If she was sitting next to you, wouldn't you be tempted to shove her face into the vomit bag? I would!

Because the cabin pressure in commercial airliners is higher than the cabin pressure in military aircraft. Consequently, were she to fly commercial, her Botox injection sites would be more likely to burst.

Why do you even bother to post at all,dumbass? Your basic message can be summed up in a couple sentences. You think every politician is corrupt. You live paycheck to paycheck and blame your financial problems on high taxes. You blame the political system for everything that is wrong with your life. This country offers all kinds of opportunity for anyone who is willing to work. When are you going to realize your life sucks because of the choices you have made?
