Political Hypocrisy & Nancy Pelosi

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly requested military aircraft to shuttle her and her colleagues and family around the country, according to a new report from judicialwatch.org, a conservative watchdog group.

It sounds as if Madam Speaker has been taking advantage of the taxpayer dollar...that's pretty bad. But, perhaps the 'watchdog' group should investigate all elected officials regardless of party affiliation in an objective study...think that could happen? Not a chance.
The conservative pundits tried this before...in 2007:
The right has been working to spread a lie that Speaker Pelosi "demanded" a "luxury jet" to fly herself and "supporters" and "contributors" around. The lie is effective because it ties a current event to a deeper, long-term resentment narrative about "limousine liberals" that the right has been pushing for years.
The facts are simple: since 9/11, for obvious security reasons, the Speaker of the House of Representatives (who is next in line behind the Vice President to become President) has flown on government rather than commercial aircraft.

...she should be chastised and held accountable for wasting money...but all those pots in Washington are simply calling the kettle black.
