The story you linked is about the fact that original reports have been removed.

Malia went to Mexico.

The media reported it.

The White House requested the reports be scrubbed for the children's safety.

The media scrubbed the reports.

God caused an earthquake in order to expose this devious coverup.

The white House admitted to the coverup and reported that Malia is A-OK.

is the objection that there are SS involved? The First Family does get to take vacations and we certainly wouldn't want the kid grabbed by our enemies.

Or that this story might be suppressed news? Could be something to this.

Or that this money was spent in a foreign country rather than on American soil? Something here, though I think most of the expense is travel and personnel, which stay in America. Probably shouldn't be so insular anyway in travel.

Pelosi "needing" a jet that get to/fr CA faster bothers me. This doesn't.

I don't remember this kind of outrage over Bush daughter vacations. Where should I go to find what you wrote about those?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I bet a bunch of teenagers really wanted 25 Secret Service agents accompanying them on Spring Break. Sure.

at 13, they might not care so much. But fast forward a few years when they want to score some booze and boys, like the Bush daughters, and it's a pain...unless the SS will buy for them.

I found I'm happier when I let nothing bother me...especially politicians.

Stop relying on the government and take responsibility for yourselves...ride free.

There ya' go! Too many people bitchin' about too much government involvement in their lives yet, they want the government to take care of them. Where's that good ol' American 'self-sufficient' attitude we used to have?

13 year olds don't decide the level of secret service protection protection needed, the secret service does .

If a 13 year old girl wants to be like a typical 13 year old WTF

There's an intelligent and well thought out response.

I'm old enough to remember that neither Julie Nixon Eisenhower (Pres. Nixon's older daughter) nor her husband David Eisenhower (Ike's grandson) could attend their own college graduations due to security concerns. People need to leave Presidents' families the fuck alone when they're doing their best to live their lives.

Here's why the agents are necessary:

Many, many 13 year-olds, especially if their family has some money, travel some distance to nice places during their spring breaks. But they usually travel with their families. And they usually don't get their families' ability to fund those trips publicly stuck up their asses. Malia's situation is rather unique, though, given that her father is the sitting president. What kind of vacation could that group of kids possibly have with the President and/or First Lady tagging along?

Give the kid a break.

But when the Bush Girls go to Argintina, No problemo. Have you ever thought that announcing the number of agents in her security detail is compromising a 13 year old's safety?

I never heard you bring up the fact that the Bush girls had (and may still have) extended SS protection from an executive order from Bush.

Repeating lies does not make them true.

Gingrich, Hastert, Pelosi and Boner, as speakers of the house, were/are third in line for POTUS, should the P and VP die. The House Seargent at arms makes the call as to what transportation is provided to the SOTH. The SOTH has no choice in the matter.

The actual FACTS are available on many sites. Snopes has a good explanation at

Why do RWCs have such profound respect for honesty and truthfulness? (NOT!!!!)

Maybe it is because they won't let trivial details like documented facts get in the way of LIES that support their twisted versions of reality.

Or maybe they are just plain venal and stupid.

That brings up a very worthwhile quote from Robert Hanlon - "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Perhaps your indignation has something to do with your inability to comprehend?

From the Snopes article you posted, Pelosi herself says she wants a plane that can travell to California without having to stop for re-fueling. While the main reason was for security, you cannot deny that the plane would get her there more quickly if it didn't have to stop. That's all the OP said, you made the rest up in your own head.

Grasping at straws does not constitute a factual rebuttal.

The security concerns raised by Ms Pelosi are quite legit, in spite of what Faux Spews, et al, had to say on the matter. Inquiries are not orders, in spite of what was spread through the bullshit info sources RWCs rely upon.

The SOH has to be able to take over the government in a timely manner, in the event of the P and VP dying. The most risky part of any flight are in the vicinity of airports. Avoiding intermediate stops is good for both safety and security. Intelligent, well informed people know these facts. Dumbfuck RWCs, not so much.

RWCs are perfectly happy to stay ignorant, and keep repeating things thjat are demonstrably FALSE!!

So in other words, you agree that she needed a plane that could get her from California to DC as quickly as possible. Got it.

shouldn't the Speaker of the House spend more time doing work, less time flying? She's not the VP for christ's sake. There is work to be done. Otherwise we can expect more bills that no one gets to read first.
