Must've been taking a pretty roundabout route back to LAX; He was in Phoenix last night on David Feherty's live show on the Golf Channel.

Flight CVG to RSW 2 weeks ago in 2A and 2B. Speaker John Boehner and his SS agent in 1C and 1D headed to his condo in Marco. He greeted people that said hi then slept the whole flight. 3 other agents were in back. Pelosi would always use a USAF 737 so have to give him kudos for saving some taxpayer $. 4 SUVs whisked him away upon landing, while we waited to exit. This was the week prior to the State of the Union in case anyone was wondering why he looked so tan.

Dan Marino played for the Miami Dolphins, 1983-1999.
When he retired, he had the record for the most completions, passing yards, and TD passes. All since broken.

Boehner's decision to fly commercial is fine (and something that was approved by the Sgt At Arms in the current safety climate), but no need to make this political.

Pelosi didn't "always use a USAF 737" to go to her vacation condo. Indeed, she flew commercial more often than she used government flights, percentage-wise, and she flew commercial more often than the previous speaker, Hastert, did. In addition, use of the gov jets was something introduced post 9/11 for the person who was 3rd in line for the presidency, not something that Pelosi demanded. Pelosi's use of larger jets than Hastert at times was due to the request by the house Sgt At Arms, as it was seen as a better security option for her due to them not having to stop for fuel (Hastert's flight to Il were far shorter and a smaller plane was able to make it nonstop any time of year).
