One of the lesser-known aspects of the "Air Pelosi" controversy is the degree to which the fuss is payback for the House speaker's decision to hold legislators to a five-day workweek instead of the three- or four-day schedule adopted by the Republicans in the past.
White House Press Secretary Tony Snow has sided with Pelosi. But GOP insiders say the issue has a lot to do with Pelosi's work-week requirements, which many legislators consider a PR stunt that imposes a real burden on them getting home to be with their families and constituents.
I think that this has much to do with the animosity being directed at Pelosi, as well as the fact that she is a woman. I think a lot of these "good old boys" just bristle under the leadership of a strong woman.
The "Pelosi plane story" is a non-story which many news stations felt they had to cover just to prove that they are non-partisan. I mean I expect FOX to cover this crap but CNN should have just let this one slide. It was clearly a hatchet job on Pelosi.
