THE FACTS ARE IN!
As a result of a Judicial Watch filing under the Freedom of Information Act, the
USAF released documents detailing House Speaker Pelosi's use of United States
Air Force aircraft between March 2009 and June 2010. The data are published
in the Judicial Watch Verdict of December 2010, Volume 16, Issue 12.
Here are the main highlights revealed by the USAF. Keep in mind that all the data
below relate to United States Air Force aircraft used by one woman over a sixteen
month period.
Several of these flights included Ms Pelosi's guests such as grown children,
grandchildren, various in-laws, friends, and hangers-on. Over 95% of the trips were
between the west coast and Washington, DC or what we might call a commute
between home and the office. READ it and WEEP!!
Total trips: 85 trips over a 68 week period or 1.25 average trips per week.
Total mileage: 206,264 miles or 2,427 average miles per trip.
Total flying time: 428.6 hours or an average of 5 hrs per trip.
Cost to the taxpayers: $2,100,744.59 or $27,715.00 per trip or $1,285,162.00
per year.
Cost of in flight food and alcohol: $101,429.14 or $1,193.00 per trip or
$62,051.00 per year.
On one junket to Baghdad, according to the Air Force report, she had the aircraft
bar stocked with Johnny Walker Red Scotch, Grey Goose Vodka, E&J Brandy,
Bailey's Irish Creme, Maker's Mark whiskey, Courvoisier Cognac, Bacardi Rum,
Jim Beam Whiskey, Beefeater Gin, Dewars Scotch, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Jack
Daniels Whiskey, Corona Beer and several varieties of wine. This was obviously
a very important "gubment bidness" trip.
Evidence generally speaks for itself, and in Ms. Pelosi's case it speaks the
language of abuse and (evidently) a serious familial drinking problem, for in a single
year she and her spawn drank an amount in excess of the net income of the
average employed American! When she said, "... if the stimulus doesn't pass, five
hundred million people might lose their jobs...", I thought she was unintentionally
revealing her ignorance. I'm now more inclined to think she was just pickled.
Even though she can no longer abuse the USAF, she can either fly on her broom,
or fly Southwest Airlines, where bags fly free.
