Last I checked, gays are citizens, thus due representation.
This is a Rep manufactured smear.
The Speaker, Rep or Dem,in the post 9/11 era gets a ride back to their district. The powers that be have decided it's more effective and secure to use military transport. If you're going to that expense, it's a no-brainer that non-stop is more effective and secure than en route stops.
There isn't one particular a/c sitting around at the speaker's beck and call. The speaker gives their schedule to the Air Force, and the Air Force whistles up an available a/c that'll get the job done. Hastert couldn't pick and choose, and neither can Pelosi.
You think she didn't know that?
There are plenty of regs regarding reimbursement. If we catch Pelosi violating those, BBQ her. Until then, give the lady some room to work.
