From the "We lost and can't get over it" dept
This has probably been posted before but I don't recall it.

Get an email about Nancy Pelosi (boo, hiss) using a jet at government expense whereas Newt Gingritch (loyal, trustworthy and brave) did not.

What's the deal on this? I suspect that the plane was voted in when the GOP had control of Congress and that Pelosi may have used it.

Thanks!

1. How about Trent Lott?
Did he use that jet? WTF? Newt Gingrich was speaker eons ago. These people are utterly shameless.
