Subject: Ms. Pelosi is concerned about the economy.......

The FACTS ARE IN! These are just direct costs, and do not include
maintaince,
overhaul, or depreciation.

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 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.
