"Pelosi should be made to fly commercial."

I totally agree.

"Unsafe she says?"

That is what the White House says. I don't believe she ever said it was unsafe to fly commercial.

It's only unsafe because Pelosi'd be accosted constantly by your fellow right wingnuts flying commercial!

>Pelosi should be made to fly commercial. Unsafe she says? Well, then she should do something about that situation.

From the article: “I have never asked for any larger plane,” Pelosi said. “I have said that I am happy to ride commercial if the plane they have doesn't go coast to coast.”

The military decided after 9/11 that the Speaker of the House should fly in a private plane. It makes sense, given that the Speaker is third in line to the President.

Pelosi is third in succession to the presidency. That's why Speakers of the House are now required to fly by military plane.
