House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is playing politics with its vote to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress, an action she said that even she didn’t seek as House Speaker when she thought someone was legitimately deserving of it.
“I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day,” Pelosi said to laughter, during a sit-down with reporters. “I’m not kidding. There’s a prison here in the Capitol … If we had spotted him in the Capitol, we could have arrested him.”
Rove was senior advisor and deputy chief of staff to former President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2007.
Asked on what grounds she could have arrested Rove, Pelosi replied, “Oh, any number. But there were some specific ones for his being in contempt of Congress. But we didn’t.”

Holder lied. People Died.
She’s not whistling past the graveyard, she’s dragging a nuclear powered calliope.
this lady loves power over people
Yeah even the media is terrified that Little Boots may get his day in the Colosseum with the lions.
yikes whe - she
Boehner better get this voted on in the full House.
And he needs to allow the Terry family to tell Congress in person how Holder was complicit in the murder of his own employee and then covered it up, lied about it and how he and the President denied them justice.
At a certain point the MSM can no longer work for the administration for free.
Good Lord this woman is an asshat..
Comparing Rove a staff member to Holder the Attorney General just shows how hateful and ignorant this woman can be..
Her drug dealer has the best drugs in the world
Hey, Speaker Boehner! Pelosi says you have the power to arrest members of the executive branch and imprison them in the Capitol building. Get to steppin’, son!
If holding Nanci Pelousy in contempt is a crime, I’m a repeat offender.
Did someone break wind on Capitol Hill, or did the Bag Lady speak?
Nancy, I’m glad you know where the prison in Washington is located. When Sheriff Joe gets through with the eligibility fraud investigation you will join the long line of those SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS who conspired against the american people to do what was necessary to get the anti american communist obama on the ballot.
Hey Nancy, Steve Kroft(60 Minutes)has some more questions about IPO’s and insider trading...
Nancy, what goes around comes around. How I would love to see YOU locked in the Capitol jail. That would make my day.
This is only to try to dilute the considerable damage coming on the leftist blogs about the Holder vote.
Any mention of Rove is red meat for them so the Witch threw his name in.
Nazi just had a big cup of dingbat juice for lunch.
I don’t like Rove, I think he is nothing more than a RINO and a globalist. Having said that; the only thing that freak from Frisco, Nazi Pelousy could have him arrested for would be being a hell of a lot more intelligent than her. Of course she is a progressive liberal so intelligence doesn’t enter into it.
As Glinda the Good Witch of the North would say: “Rubbish. Now get out of here before someone drops a house on you too.”
