The Pelosi Jet Matter
Given the recent flap about what Nancy Pelosi gets to ride around the country in, I have a suggestion for her very own private jet:
The de Havilland DH 106 Comet, specifically the Comet 1.
"Look, Madam Speaker! Large rectangular windows for your viewing pleasure!
"Moreover, they have de Havilland's Ghost engine. The name of these engines reaches out to a community usually trampled on and ignored by the Christianist mob that has held sway in this country for far too long (since about 1607) and shows the progressive appeal of the Democratic Party."
I hear that the British Overseas Airways Corporation is willing to part with them for cheap.
---
This joke possible only because there's only one complete rectangular-windowed Comet left in the world that I know of; the rest were either modified to make them safe for use or scrapped over time. Furthermore, BOAC hasn't existed since 1974, and I haven't the foggiest where you'd get de Havilland Ghost engines in 2007. Give her the Gulfstream V and shut the woman up. A pox on you, Representative Murtha.
