But these are new and changing times. Evil rich people like Pelosi should give up her use of the planes and save the taxpayers some money and help the ecomomy. If the CEOs aren't allowed jets, she shouldn't have one either.

Well reported piece, except that the snippets appear completely out of context. What are we talking about? Oh that a DEMOCRAT feels entitled to something; let's lead with that story. Whatever.

I am no fan of Pelosi; but in this Post 9/11 spending bender - she should be treated exactly as her former male counterparts would have been treated. Moving on.

I don't get it. If I just read the first few paragraphs of the story, it would seem the speaker is a prima donna demanding planes and perks. Only when I click on the whole story do I find out it was the Bush administration that decided the speaker should fly military flights after 9/11 and the DOD makes the flight decisions,not the speaker. This is really shoddy journalism and something I would not expect to see on your site.

Is there something surprising here? Republicans don't have the market on arrogance cornered.
