The House Speaker, that is.
It reads like a dream order for a wild frat party: Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey … and Corona beer.
But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for “in-flight services†– including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That’s almost $1,000 per week.
I could use a spare bottle of Grey Goose if she’s got a bottle (or even half!) laying around. I just got our sampler of vanilla beans from around the world in, and now the 2 cups of extract I planned to make aren’t going to be nearly enough.
There isn’t enough scotch in the world to make a plane ride with Pelosi tolerable.
Wow. I knew she was bad, but how drunk you you have to get to stand Nancy?
I’ll have you know that Maker’s Mark and Jim Beam are bourbon, not whiskey …
All bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon.
Link, you are correct. I retract as false my earlier comment.
Uh, that’s not really a list of booze that exudes posh luxury.
This is probably just what they serve to the interns.
There’s a link in the comments of the post you link to, describing the $10,000 a week FORMER speaker Hastert (R) receives from us taxpayers, while working as a PRIVATE lobbyist.
If current speaker/public employee Pelosi’s $1,000/week habit warrants a post, you must have a doozy in the works for private employee Hastert’s $10,000/week habit.
We await anxiously…
Scott, the difference is who pays for it. If the US tax payers are paying, that’s waste. If it’s a private business, then it’s between the business and it’s employee.
