One...This looks very bad for Her Highness, indeed.<br /><br />One thing I don't get: According to the docs posted on Mr. Ross' website, Pelosi's family apparently were traveling on "official business." Yet, they also had to reimburse the military at the regular coach rate for their flights (coach fare being a small fraction of the actual cost to operate these planes). My question is, if this was truly official govt business, why would they have to reimburse the military at all? And if it wasn't official business, how can they justify letting them on the plane, period? <br /><br />I would also be curious to know how efficient the military is in actually collecting these token fares from the Pelosi klan. It would not surprise me if, like in the House bank scandal, the clerks who are ostensibly in charge of collecting the Congress-critters' money are perhaps allowing the Pelosis to nominally incur air fares but not insisting on payment in the strict, consistent way that any commercial carrier obviously would. (This is speculation on my part, but I really wouldn't be surprised if this turned out to be another deplorable aspect of the story.)Conrad Bibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422935506611755825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870530298450082582.post-49648588310528682762010-02-01T12:42:21.814-05:002010-02-01T12:42:21.814-05:00When did Madame split from Wayland Flowers?When did Madame split from Wayland Flowers?Johanna Lapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683581129390692385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870530298450082582.post-85794903382181437592010-02-01T12:34:02.751-05:002010-02-01T12:34:02.751-05:00It's like she's part of a, oh I don't ...It's like she's part of a, oh I don't know, let's just call it a "culture of corruption."

It was originally set up as a security measure for high government officials. So, in and of itself, it's fine. <br /><br />But she seems to have taken it too far, by allowing her relatives to fly without her present, and by insisting on a 200-passenger plane over a more economical bizjet that can handle the apparent limited number of people traveling with her. It also seems she has attempted to reserve flights just for the sake of holding it, rather than only as truly needed.<br /><br /> No, these trips weren't "space A", they were set up specifically for travel to and from San Franciso and were not regularly scheduled AMC flights.Jeff Weimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802456524746485019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7870530298450082582.post-79973314791593771182010-02-01T11:07:08.091-05:002010-02-01T11:07:08.091-05:00"...

Family of military and most federal employees are entitled to space available ("Space-A") travel on military passenger jets, especially going to and from overseas bases. Does that extend to congressmen's families, and if so, were they simply riding the military airlift command? I hate to come out in her defense, but that could be the issue.C.J.
