The Daily Mail (U.K.) had this to say:
If the U.S. Air Force did all airline food, it would be strawberries dipped in dark chocolate and grilled chicken salads all round.
Unfortunately this luxury is reserved for top US politicians alone, as new documents detailing Nancy Pelosi's travel expenses reveal.
The former House Speaker was showered with a cornucopia of gourmet food and alcohol as she traveled over 90,000 miles around the world in just nine months last year - all courtesy of the US Air Force (USAF).
The revelations were among 2,000 pages documenting Mrs Pelosi's travel expenses, obtained by Judicial Watch.
Of 103 Pelosi-led congressional delegations, 31 trips included members of the House speaker's family.
Another Pelosi-led congressional delegation traveling from Washington, DC, through Tel Aviv, to Baghdad included a shopping list that would be more at home on the fridge at a student party.
Among requests were Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Baileys Irish Cream, Courvoisier cognac, Bacardi Light rum, Dewar’s scotch, Jack Daniel’s whiskey, and more.
Pelosi even used Air Force aircraft to travel back to her district of California at an average cost of $28,210.51 per flight.
