Pelosi and Big Bird

The Madam Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, wants a big plane to fly her coast to coast non-stop and the Republicans are all bent out of shape. Okay, I am probably more frugal than just about anyone but what does security have to do with budget concerns? Bush has used that security excuse for years to waste tons of money, not to mention lives, in a foolish war in Iraq and the Speaker of the House, number 2 in line for the Presidency after Dick Cheney can't ask for a bigger plane to secure her travels? Maybe they'd like it if she weren't so secure. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Sorry, guys, you left yourself out in the cold with that security excuse. High time some woman used it against you.
