Is that real?
It was delivered to her right before she and her crabby little entourage were to board buses bound for the airport, I would have loved to have seen the look on "the living deads" face when she read it. lol...
Remember this from 2009? The San Francisco congresswoman has apparently taken to flying in style. And not just any style but military charter style, according to e-mails released this week. Pelosi's staff has allegedly been "berating" military officials to get the best planes possibly for the speaker to fly across country, according to e- mails obtained by the government watchdog group Judicial Watch (you can read all the emails on their site) and first reported by The New York Post. "Taken together, these documents show that Speaker Pelosi treats the Air Force like her personal airline," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton in a statement. "Not only does Speaker Pelosi issue unreasonable requests for military travel, but her office seems unconcerned about wasting taxpayer money with last minute cancellations and other demands."

"This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset speaker," the e-mail said. (Excerpt) Read more at nbcphiladelphia.com ...
