Pelosi: ‘I Could Have Arrested Karl Rove’
National Review The Corner ^ | June 20, 2012 | Daniel Foster

Posted on 06/20/2012 1:31:34 PM PDT by bkopto

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.”

A perfect example of what extended use of hard drugs does to the mind ... in her case there wasn’t a whole lot to lose in the first place.

That she believes such is reason enough to remove her form office.

The DNC is out of control!

Wow, what a maroon. Arrested? What brought that into her head, Holder wasn’t arrested.

She committed fraud when she certified Obama’s candidacy when Speaker of the House. She deleted a very important passage of the DNC certification of Obama which stated ‘in accordance with the United States Constitution’ because she knew Obama was not a Natural Born Citizen (father was not a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth) and therefore ineligible to be POTUS.

She should be jailed for swearing that Obama was a US citizen.

This is nothing more than a signal to Boner that the Republicans somehow owe the Democrats a marker and she is calling it in.

She hasn't been within a zipcode of reality in a long time.

Isn't that the truth. Remember her saying that 500 million Americans were losing their jobs each month?

“I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day,”

Well Pelosi, then you should have. Heck, you ugly hag, go right ahead and arrest him now.

If holding Nanci Pelousy in contempt is a crime, I’m a repeat offender.

And if hubris aggravated by stupidity were a crime, Nazi Pelousy would be on death row.

I hope Rove sues her for slander.
