Murtha & Pelosi: Give us what we want, or else!

Nancy Pelosi's quest to get her own jumbo airliner to jet herself and her friends about the country in luxury on the taxpayer dole has, rightly so, met with some resistance. So, what do you do when the armed forces of the U.S. dares to say, "no?" Why, you throw a royal temper tantrum, of course!
The airplane scandal for US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is ramping up. One of her main allies, Congressman John Murtha is stepping up and in his own words is telling the Pentagon what to do. According to a report from the San Francisco chronicle, Murtha, who chairs the House military appropriations subcommittee, said he has spoken to Pentagon officials about the need to provide Pelosi with a bigger plane that can fly passengers coast to coast in comfort.
Yep... Murtha has spoken to the Pentagon like some friggen Don Corelione:
But he denied pressuring the Pentagon. "I don't need to pressure them. I just tell them what they need to do,'' Murtha said.
Did you get that audacity from someone who is supposedly elected to be a public servant?
Murtha then seemed to threaten the Pentagon again - or at least told them what to do. Murtha said he is convinced the Pentagon has been leaking information about the possibility that Pelosi would use large military planes to make her look bad. But he said, "They're making a mistake when they leak it because she decides on allocations for them,'' referring to the Pentagon budget.
WTF? Have King Murtha and Queen Pelosi been watching too many Sopranos episodes?

Although the arrogant sense of entitlement displayed here is nothing less than breathtaking, it is in actuality SOP for the do as I say, not as I do liberal mindset.
