What? No Gulfstream Vs?

Imagine is a Republican -- oh never mind:

Pelosi, who clashed with the military to get nonstop service when she flies home to California with police protection on government planes, revealed a particular fondness for Gulfstream's sleek G-5 - a plane glamorized in Hollywood films and rap videos.

"It is my understanding there are no G-5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable . . . The speaker will want to know where the planes are," a Pelosi aide wrote in an angry e-mail to the military.

It was pointed out that she is hypocritical, not only on environmentalism, but also on her anti-militarism.

Michelle Malkin has been covering this so well. Pelosi also wants the unprecedented transfer of a plane to an airport 30 minutes away from where she "has business" (meaning her country home), instead of 1.5 hours away from her official residence.

My personal note to Pelosi: "Go fly coach, bitch."
