What is this, you may be asking, Ted Kennedy's last meal?
Close. This is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's liquor tab from a flight on Air-Force 3 (her personal jumbo jet). It turns out Nancy has run up a $100,000 bill in the last two years, just for food and liquor on her private (taxpayer-funded) jet.
In case you're math-challenged, that is about $1,000 per week, just on liquor, just on her plane.
We learned a couple weeks ago that Nancy spends about that same amount on flowers for her office.
A grand. Per week. JUST ON BOOZE. I guess she needs all that liquor for her guests, God known no one would agree with her while they were sober.
George Santayana said "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
Before the French Revolution, the elitists were partying hard at the expense of the citizens. Ignoring the will of the people while they partied their tax money away (and the people starved).
"Let them eat cake", the aristocrats said, with an arrogance very similar to what we're witnessing today.
"Let them choke on guillotine steel", said the citizens, with an anger very similar to what we're witnessing today.
We can't send Nanny Pelousy to the guillotine (darnit), and we'll never get her voted out of office while the nuts in San Francisco are allowed to vote. Our only hope is to put these elitists back in their place.
We're not going to make any progress when our "leaders" are as disconnected with the citizenry as they are today. Time to throw the bums out and replace them with people who understand words like deficit and responsibility. Put Nanny back in the minority, where she and her ilk belong, and maybe we can get somewhere.
Let THEM drink Busch.
I also understand there was a little get together in the islands with a select 100 or so friends in Wash. It took 3 jets...one was Air Force One to get them all there for a long weekend....ON OUR DIME. Plus, she refuses to talk about the hotel, food, beverage, and fuel costs associated with this little get away. HOGS AT THE TROUGH.
