Apparently, the Speaker made "Greening the Capitol" a pet project. This is the video of her hosting an press conference celebrating her efforts:
at 1:01 her quote is;
"We believe we had to get our own House in order before we launched a sweeping global warming and energy independence agenda for the rest of the Nation."
Talk about arrogance. Even in the face of a Judicial Watch investigation spotlighting Nancy Pelosi’s abuse of military air craft, the House Speaker shows no signs of slowing down.
In fact, Speaker Pelosi may have set a frequent flyer record for taxpayer-financed luxury jet travel.
(Andrew Breitbart) recently obtained new documents from the United States Air Force detailing Speaker Pelosi’s use of United States Air Force aircraft between March 2009 and June 2010.
Here are the highlights from the newest batch of documents, which we obtained pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed on January 25, 2009:
•Pelosi used the Air Force aircraft for a total of 85 trips, covering 206,264 miles, from March 2, 2009 through June 7, 2010. Pelosi, her guests and Air Force personnel logged a total of 428.6 hours on these flights.
