Pelosi rips Holder contempt charges: 'I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day'

2012-06-21

[Daily Caller] House Minority Leader

Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
attacked House Republicans for pursuing contempt of Congress charges against Attorney General Eric Inaction Jackson Holder on Wednesday.

"I could have tossed in the clink
Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!
Karl Rove on any given day," Pelosi said on Wednesday, The Huffington Post reports. "I'm not kidding. There's a prison here in the Capitol. If we had spotted him in the Capitol, we could have tossed in the clink
Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!
him."

"Oh, any number" of charges could have been brought against Rove, Pelosi said. "But there were some specific ones for his being in contempt of Congress."

Pelosi also criticized Republicans pushing for justice for Border Patrol agent Brian Terry -- as House oversight committee ranking Democratic member Rep. Elijah Cummings
...Representative-for-life from Maryland, representing half of Baltimore City, which makes his district ultra-safe, and most of Howard County, which is out-populated by the city. Cummings' politix are so liberal they're tedious...
has on numerous occasions -- as "just strictly political."

"It's just the irresponsibility of the Republicans," Pelosi said. "We want jobs. Why are they spending this time doing this?"

Pelosi attacked House oversight committee Chairman Darrell Issa too. "'Loose cannon' would sort of be like such a compliment to Darrell Issa," Pelosi said. "'Loose cannon' would be a moderate phrase. This is an bomb. It doesn't serve our country, and it undermines the true purpose of contempt of Congress."

By what powers does she assume she can arrest a political advisor?

Are you serious? Are you serious?!

#12 By what powers does she assume she can arrest a political advisor?

Why on "any number" of charges. That's what she says in the article. But you'll notice that she doesn't get specific. All she has are vague allegations that it's all Bush's fault. Damn it, I know the Republicans have screwed up too. That's no excuse.

#10 Is it my imagination or did this "person" just admit to being an extortionist?

"Give me what I want or you're going to jail!" Sounds like extortion to me.

#9 The dems are in pure panic, reactionary mode. They just say what comes off the top of their head to defend themselves and don't think about what it means.

And thus they dig themselves a bigger hole.

#8 "Are they trying to be deliberately vague and baffling to hide the threats, or am I watching a person at a chess board who takes their king, diagonally jumps three of their own pieces, and yells yahtzee!"

Why yes. yes they are.

#7 Pelosi always reminds me of the main character's mother in "Brazil" So utterly clueless and ignoring what happens around her.

The resembalance is uncanny too.

#6 Love the picture. I am fairly certain that is what her death mask will look like. Comparing Karl Rove, a mere aide, to someone who was appointed to such a powerful office is ludicrous. Like monkeys in the zoo, these people will continue to fling poo at everything that moves in order to prevent the masses from seeing that the emperor has no clothes.

#5 So what you are saying is that arresting Holder is ok.

Are they trying to be deliberately vague and baffling to hide the threats, or am I watching a person at a chess board who takes their king, diagonally jumps three of their own pieces, and yells yahtzee!

#4 Pelosi rips Holder contempt charges: 'I could have arrested Karl Rove on any given day'

#3 Someone considered, due to self admission, as having compromised her own principles for personal gain; and the name commonly used to describe such a person is?

#2 Getting a bit desperate by the dems here.

Nancy Says "I ignored a crime in order to politically trade with the opposition party".

Talk about digging a hole deeper.
