Heck, the Queen of England travels commercial, on British Airways, when she makes state visits.

But Jbelle, don’t they charter an entire British Airways jet for that when she does? Just curious…

We had a revolution, we do not do things the way the do them in England. Let us not forget that Speaker Pelosi is number two in the line of succession.

Phaedrus, Know how long it takes to get through security in Moscow, Russia? 5 minutes. When you don’t have powerful enemies, you don’t need to undergo extrordinary measures. Even at that, Speaker Pelosi runs a bigger risk of having her Birkin snatched and being mugged for her $60,000 of jewelry she wears on a routine day. If I flaunted that hardware on a daily basis, I’d come to expect that not only was I important enought to warrant an entire plane to myself but that the country needed me to have such, because I was second in succession. I would be a security issue! In South Sea Tahitian pearls!
