“Her Arrogance… Breathtaking:” CNN’s Jack Cafferty Takes A Second Crack At Pelosi’s Runaway Spending at Pat Dollard

“Her Arrogance… Breathtaking:” CNN’s Jack Cafferty Takes A Second Crack At Pelosi’s Runaway Spending

January 27th, 2010 (12) Posted By Erik Wong.

Two weeks after calling Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) a horrible woman, CNN’s Jack Cafferty said the House Speaker’s arrogance was breathtaking.

During Tuesday’s “Situation Room,” Cafferty addressed the report the CBS “Evening News” did the previous day on the out of control spending by members of Congress at last month’s United Nations climate summit in Copenhagen.

“Her arrogance on this subject: breathtaking,” said Cafferty of the Speaker’s failure to “explain why it was necessary for her and her colleagues to make the trip to Copenhagen in the first place.”

He marvelously continued, “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” (video embedded below the fold with transcript, h/t Story Balloon):

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.

All those in favor say “Aye.”

Oh kiss my ass Cafferty! Changing his opinion with the change of the wind (or the seat in Mass). Now there is a man that needs to take the dirt nap! Perhaps he and Rick Sanchez can take the nap together. CNN health care plan does have death panels so I am sure they can arrange a “peaceful” sleep.

America’s first female speaker of the house will be remembered as a self-indulgent parasite and an ignorant c***.

America’s first black president will be remembered as a lying, two-faced sleazebag in the lowest tradition of Chicago sleaze.

And these motherfuckers had the balls to whine about GWB. From DAY ONE this administration as been a DISASTER. A 100% disaster of lies, betrayed trust and self-interest at the cost of the American citizen.

You have to have balls of steel and a brain of oatmeal to publicly call yourself a liberal these days.

Exactly, like we’ve been saying…

I’m with you and would like to add that they were “aiding and abetting the enemy”.

This administration is more like a dictatorship. I question who has given them the power to impose on the American people such radically left political power. The people in congress need to represent the citizens of this country. We need to quickly vote out the far left leaning representatives thus showing our country as We The People.

When did Cafferty grow a pair and decide to bite the hand that feeds?

…not that I am complaining – it is just an abrupt and random about-face

Big deal you old curmudgeon. You have been backtracking triple time since the Massachusetts vote. You keep it up and your asshole boss at CNN will have you tossed in the CNN land fill along with Lou Dobbs. Difference is, Dobbs is already planning another career, and you will just be left to rot.

MIDTN

……..and take that eye liner lip blush using pussy Rick Sanchez with you as they throw your cranky old ass out the damn door!

HER arrogance is breathtaking? When’s the last time you looked at yourself in the mirror, Jack? You and your ilk aided and abetted these jackasses all along and now you want to complain? Now that’s breathtaking.

I think that Pelosi’s outrageous spending is nuts/crazy. There are plenty of meeting rooms in which they could have met at to discuss whatever in DC, there was no need to travel all over the world with family, exstended family, and so. In my opinion this was just a huge vacation on the taxpayers dollar. The problem is not only with Pelosi, it is with all of the other political leaders as well spending as if there is no consequence for anything. We as the people are the ones who vote these politicians in and we as the people can vote them out. People need to take a stand for what we believe. Send letters to our Governors, Senators, Congressman’s and let them know that we do not appreciate how our taxpaying dollars are being spent. Email is just not going to cut it unfortunitely, it takes us all to work hard for what we believe.
