This is an outrage machine. It is used by journalists, political agitators, and religious convulsionists of various stripes. They place a little dab of bullshit under the machine and it pounds out a cow-pie of outrage. This can be flung hither and yon, smearing all over targets/people. In this way, something of very little significance can be converted into something that seems very outrageous. It is important that the outrage be manufactured rather than natural. The fact is: The Speaker of the House needs safe transportation back to her district in California.
The manufactured outrage:
Pelosi wants a huge military jet to fly her and her friends around the country, like a flying Lincoln Bedroom. This will cost $300,000 one way.

I see the White House has managed to come out smelling like a rose after coming to Pelosi's defense. Possibly this was a moment of intellectual honesty from the Bush Administration, but the hardended cynic in me says this whole thing smells like an engineered "good cop/bad cop" routine on the part of the GOP.
