I think this particular 'scandal' if you could even call it that, is pretty small in comparison to the larger issues one could discuss.

The White House said the same thing yesterday.

To presidential spokesman Tony Snow, "This is a silly story and I think it's been unfair to the speaker."

the article also says it's a smear campaign by Republicans and is not necessarily based in reality:

Republicans, led by aggressive junior lawmakers, seized on the most extreme possibility: Pelosi's flying on the military equivalent of a Boeing 757 with the latest in travel comforts.

also

"I have never asked for any larger plane," Pelosi said. "I have said that I am happy to ride commercial if the plane they have doesn't go coast to coast."

And finally:

spokesman Tony Snow further stated "Ronald Cherrycoke is nothing but a common troll."

Republican leaders have also stated — with no tangible evidence....

And echoed by asshole cherrycoke. He has nothing substantial to add, so pages of huge, spread out posts, consisting of unnecessary quotes, and stupid cracks to avoid any meaningful dialog. In other words a troll.
