House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly requested military aircraft to shuttle her and her colleagues and family around the country, according to a new report from a conservative watchdog group.

Representatives for Judicial Watch, which obtained e-mails and other documents from a Freedom of Information request, said the correspondence shows Pelosi has abused the system in place to accommodate congressional leaders and treated the Air Force as her "personal airline."

The e-mails showed repeated attempts by Pelosi aides to request aircraft, sometimes aggressively, and by Department of Defense officials to accommodate them.

"I think that's above and beyond what other members of Congress are doing and what is expected of our elected officials," said Jenny Small, a researcher with the group.

The group reported that Pelosi was notorious for making special demands for high-end aircraft, lodging last-minute cancellations, and racking up additional expenses for the military.


In one e-mail, aide Kay King complained to the military that they had not made available any aircraft the House speaker wanted for Memorial Day recess.

"It is my understanding there are NO G5s available for the House during the Memorial Day recess. This is totally unacceptable ... The Speaker will want to know where the planes are," King wrote.

In another, when told a certain type of aircraft would not be available, King wrote: "This is not good news, and we will have some very disappointed folks, as well as a very upset Speaker."

Pelosi can gripe, whine and moan, but the fact is, she would cancel her flights at the last minute, wasting people's time and taxpayer dollars.

She was only griping to curry sympathy. She was basically wasting money allocated to the defense budget.

oooh, soooorry.. that'll cost you..

sorry.. yeah.. gotta phrase your answer in the form of a question..

Since the economy needs stimulating, according to President Ron Burgundy, Pelosi could have gotten on the phone and called a company like NetJets and they would have provided a G5 for her and her family.

Pelosi has this sense of entitlement that corrupts all politicians. Government doesn't stimulate the economy, the private sector does.

Her husband, philanthropist Paul Pelosi has enough money in the bank to occasionally go to the phone and order up a G5.
