I'd be interested in hearing from those she represents. WE all know that she'd be booted out pronto, if she somehow got elected to Congress in Georgia in the first place. We haven't yet lost our common sense here. What about the Bay Area folks?

Same thing has happened forever. Pelosi is not the first and will not be the last. Repugnicans are just as guilty as the Dimicrats.

I hear that Ms. pelosi travels most weekends back and forth to the San Francisco bay area at a round trip cost of ~$120K. Multiply this by ~40 weeks, and the total comes to $4.8 MILLION/year!! She takes U.S. Air Force aircraft because it is paid for out of the Air Force budget. This is the sort of fiscal abuse that the citizens of this country must now take command and object to.

Think of this, with a small amount of planning, she could easily fly first class, round trip for less than $3.5K or for those same ~40 trips per year, the total would come to $140K or an annual cost reduction of $4,660,000.00!

Hey, Ms. pelosi, get with the program and make this adjustment to contribute to the control of the burgeoning federal budget!

Didn't I read she spent 101000 in tax payer money on inflight boozs and food. To her the only good American is one that pays there taxes and dosnt complane so she can spend said taxes, I'm not sure but I don't think that is what she was sent to Washington for

This horse face Pelosi better enjoy her LOBBYIST DINNERS now: She will be sent home packing in the next ELECTION. We will see that she does not how her face in Washington. She is a damn HIPPOCRITE. Nancy how many facelifts does it take to be a Speaker of the House. START PACKING YOURBAGS. NO NECESSITAMOS UNA VIEGA HORRIBLE COMO TU GASTANDO EL DINERO QUE PAGAMOS EN TAXES. ERES UNA HIPOCRITA diciendo que eres un Catolica que mata a los bebe's. You have a horse face and plastered on face due to so many facelifts.

As a resident of a society paranoid about lobbyists and puritan about money in politics, I would expect collective cardiac arrest were anything of this nature to be revealed in the UK. I shall be interested to follow whether this is just a "so what" story or whether there will be genuine outrage amongst the citizenry
