At least she doesn't harass congressional pages

From Slate.com:

Yesterday, the LAT put it on Page One, and today, the NYT, WP, and LAT all have stories on the latest insignificant kerfuffle out of Washington that TP was trying to avoid. Basically, this "non-story" (LAT editorial) is all about how House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gets to fly home to California and whether or not she gets to use a big, fancy military plane that would make sure the flight is nonstop. Republicans are accusing her of everything from being an elitist to not actually caring about global warming. Even the White House spokesman characterized it as "a silly story" but, as the NYT points out, the "attention to the dispute illustrates that politicians are acutely aware that a jet-setting image can be dangerous."
