Jack Cafferty slams Nancy Pelosi, AGAIN!

100 Days DemocratsWhat has happened to poor ole Jack Cafferty of CNN? He was one of the Democrat’s and Obama’s biggest slurpers, not only on the campaign trail, but for the first several months of his presidency. Same goes with Pelosi. She was the the greatest thing since sliced bread (well, aside from Obama) to people like Cafferty when Bush was still President, and when the Democrats took back control of the Congress in 2006. According to NewsBusters, Cafferty slammed Pelosi’s breathtaking arrogance during Tuesday’s “Situation Room,”

JACK CAFFERTY, CNN ANCHOR: Wolf, hundreds of thousands of dollars, that’s how much it cost for a delegation of 59 people led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi along with members of Congress, staff, and in some cases, spouses and kids to go to Copenhagen, site of the climate summit just before Christmas.

CBS News reports that for 21 congressmen, food and rooms for two nights cost $4,400, and the total hotel bill including meeting rooms came to more than $400,000. Pelosi used to military jets for herself and her party at a cost of more than $100,000 in flight time alone. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money — has nothing to do with the Obama administration officials, who went to Denmark to actually attend and work at the summit.

Pelosi filed the required expense reports, but so far she has failed to explain why it was necessary for her and her colleagues to make the trip to Copenhagen in the first place. Her arrogance on this subject: breathtaking. As for the high hotel charges Pelosi’s office says those who stayed two nights were charged a six-night minimum at the five-star Marriott, information that likely was available before Pelosi and her freeloaders made their vacation plans.

Note to the House Speaker: we have skyrocketing deficits, a trillion plus dollars a year, a national debt north of $12 trillion in this country. The president is talking about reining in discretionary spending. I wonder if that would have included this junket by Pelosi and her colleagues. I’d be curious to know where Nancy Pelosi gets her sense of entitlement to simply blow hundreds of thousands of dollars of our money at Christmas time so she and her pals can take a little trip to Copenhagen.

Here’s the question. Should House Speaker Nancy Pelosi be required to explain her trip to Copenhagen? Go to CNN.com/CaffertyFile and post a comment on my blog. Here’s a hint — yes.
