She could have but she didn't. BECAUSE 'DEMS, AS A RULE, DO NOT HAVE A SPINE!! Time to grow a spine and a great big pair and start doing THE PEOPLE'S BUSINESS, not the bidding of the Corporations or the 1%.

Thanks to O and his cronies Cousin Bush and his cronies got off

I've been calling them worthless scumbuckets for over 40yrs. Somethings never go out of style.

Nancy, Nancy - please stop showing how utterly ineffectual the Democrats can be - they should have rammed legislation through when they had the chance, just like the Republicans did (remember Bush v. Gore - a complete unconstitutional national disgrace when no Democrats stood up to refuse to honor it because of its unconstitutionality, or the ridiculous (and again, unconstitutional) legislation formed exclusively for Terry Schiavo?). They learned NOTHING about their opposition from Bush v. Gore.

I am thoroughly exhausted from watching the Democrats play touch in a tackle football game. They just haven't woken up that politics with the Republicans is a form of war where anything - lying, cheating, stealing- is part of their game plan. And it works!.

Rove belongs in jail. Why was he excused from prosecution? Justice cries for criminal prosecution of known criminals - they shouldn't get a free pass for political reasons. (Scooter Libby comes to mind, and so do lots of others)

I hoped Nancy had bigger ovaries than this. But no; just roll over and play dead.

Touchdown!

Has the statute of limitations run out Nancy? If not, arrest the SOB! You are like the appeasers who drank tea while Hitler destroyed Europe!

Well Pelosi, why the fuck *didn't* you arrest Karl Rove?

She sits around screaming about how it's not fair, when the only thing happening here is the same old Democratic incompetence.

Did they honestly expect Republicans to be civil and honest? They're at war with this country, they say it all the time.

This bi-partisan bullshit is a one way street. And either Democrats are fucking retarded and don't see that or they're just colluding with Republicans and pretending to fight back.

I'm so tired of these Republican political games. Why doesn't anyone call them out on their bullshit already? Start busting heads Pelosi. If you can prosecute people, fucking do it. Forget about civility, Republicans abandoned that in the 90's when they tried to impeach a sitting President on personal bullshit.

It is well pass time the Democrats quit bringing Knives to Gun Fights!

Of course it is "political." There's a war on, and it's political. It's a war against the American people, by Banksters and Wall Streeters. Pelosi's statements are such a glib admission of weakness and servility it's no wonder what happened in the 2010 midterms might well happen again to a greater degree this year. Pelosi's generalship in the House, along with Reid's generalship in the Senate, are studies in incompetence and weakness, well worthy of comparison with the execution of the liberal agenda in Weimar Germany. And, under the transition government of Romney, a Robot Capitalist Zombie by any sane definition, we may well suffer the same ultimate fate.

Just because Holder's a "Democrat" doesn't mean he's not a lickspittle to the wealthy elite who are behind the throne in any event, here and now, today. Justice should have arrested Rove along with the other Republican criminals from Bush II, but he's listening to what his boss tells him to do. Two sides of the same coin.

Oh so am supposed to be happy about that....she didn't arrest him for things a lot worse than this BS....she just confirmed the fact that they're job is not to fight for us but to roll over and keep getting paid.
For example, if you get beat up and one guy is kicking you and another one is just watching instead of helping....aren't you as mad at both of them? But aren't you more disappointed in the one who always does nothing then acts like your friend AFTER you get your butt kicked. Where the heck is that "friend" when the other guy is repeatedly kicking you butt every single day? The bully rethugs ruthlessly kick our nerdy gayish middle class asses for 30 years, and after every ass kicking her come the Democrats saying, "Oh are you ok, that guy was just mean. Is there anything I can do to help? Well, I got your back next time, trust me." And every single day you see this SOB watching you get your butt kicked, sometimes you think you see a smile, but after he comes up and says the same thing again, "....next time I got your back"

Darrell Issa, the man leading this contempt-for-blacks-in-power witch hunt has been arrested at least 3 times over the years for things like possessing an illegal weapon and stealing cars. He is a very shady character with an agenda very much like Mitch Mconnell's stated main goal: make Obama a one term president. Screw any effort at creating jobs.

Nancy is right but the Democrats are spineless pussies afraid to stand up to republicans. That is why so many dems hate their own party. Their lack of gravitas gave us the War in Iraq, the torture of terrorists, card blanche for Bush, no prosecutions for illegal activities, the Bush tax cuts, the very arms scandal that was started during Bush's term and continued by Obama's, Abu Garib, wmd, Scooter Libby/Dick Cheney leakgate, economic collapse, no single-payer/public option healthcare bill, the fake debt ceiling hostage crisis, countless filibusters, and the republicans refusal to pass one jobs bill. The democrats have had ample opportunity to stand up to the right and she should of ordered him arrested when he refused to testify but she is a big part of the problem. She and Harry led a caucus with a majority and were thwarted time and time again by obstructionist tactics and it continues to this day but now on a grand scale for any party. It seems funny that the same house that Nancy presided over with a majority could not get anything done yet the tan-man himself along with his faithful...lol sidekick Lil Whiner have managed to pass bill after bill without so much as a whisper out of the dems. There are very few real democrats left that aren't bought and paid for. They don't protect those like Kucinich & Grayson who call them out.

I bet , if she would have but her back into it, she could have changed those darn tax codes folks find so offensive, but I guess she was more concerned with building the mansion than worrying about how to pay for it.

I wish you would have

Actually the democratic congress from 2008 to 2010 could have brought up both George W. Bush and Cheney for selective culling of intelligence to qualify their invasion og Iraq. There were no WMD's on which the pre emptive war based. That is a crime, once again ball less democrats didn't have what it took. Called courage!!! And now both cannot travel anywhere in the world they may like because there are international warrants out for the war crimes commited by both Bush & Cheney. And here we are Darrel Issa trying to find Holder in contempt. Truely a hypocrite, truely a partisian politician, and another millionaire worth over 375 million really caring for the poor, dispossessed, homeless and hungry. How many four letter words can one come up with to describe such arrogance

Nancy you knew he was a snake when you took him in. You gave him new life. New life he uses to kill. LA MORDIDA !!!! LA MORDIDA !!!! LA MORDIDA !!!! YOU KNOW THESE DEVIL BASTARDS NOW...... DONT YOU.!!!!!?????!!!!!

No Nancy, you should have arrested Rove when you had the chance. How many decades will it take, before you understand how the GOP plays politics. Dirty, filthy, rotten and underhanded. They have no emotions and don't believe in fairness. The GOP cares more about power then "serving our country". They are skilled at undermining and obstructing. Time to develop some new strategies. Coulda, woulda, shoulda isn't working.

If we could narrow down the one crucial mistake the Obama administration has made from the very beginning, it would have to be their refusal to accept the plain fact that you do not play nice with poisonous snakes. They will turn around and bite you.

Please compare how congress bent over and grabbed their ankles for Dimon versus the way they are treating Holder.

Nancy, the gal that couldn't remember that she liked the idea of water boarding prisoners before she didn't.....filed under "Things she didn't think would be made public".

News flash here folks, pretty much every one of the boobs in public office could be put in the slammer for some reason. It is now the lefts turn, once again, to face the scrutiny of the opposing party. This whole admin/term will not go into the history books the way the left would like.

Heck ol' Nancy could put Maxine Waters in the pokey with her knowledge of insider dealings. Ya Maxine's investigation is back underway after a brief legal stunt by her lawyers.

Which brings us to the point, friggin lawyers. You get a lawyer, give them an objective to break the law in a manner that cannot be prosecuted, and call it governing. Where's that endangered species list ?

She could have impeached Bush too, but that might have actually involved some real work. Ugh. I hate Congress.

Does this piss me off! I heard this last night. Why didn't she arrest Rove? There is no excuse for her to not have. She should've went after him and Bush/Cheney also should've been impeached at the time. And all these clowns are still walking around free. For what Rove did to Valerie Plame, he should've been arrested for that alone. But no, this criminal and all the others are still walking around and involved in politics til this day. What BS! A totally wasted opportunity.

BIG mistake Nancy!

Had Rove been guilty of accessory after the fact in hiding information relating to a homicide then he should have been jailed. The fact is (besides Pelosi being a absolute nut case) we have a criminal administration who ignores the will of the people, the Constitution, the limitations on the powers of the presidency, the division of powers within the government, criminal law, campaign promises. He wants to be Congress and the Supreme Court, cares nothing for anything beyond his agenda. I don't know what he is hiding by doing this "executive privilege" thing. I suspect it is something that links him to F&F. If not then trot it out and embarrass the Republicans for making a mountain out of nothing and say, "I told you so". For 18 months the White HOuse and HOlder have been stonewalling this investigation. In the interim the family of Brian Terry have been left twisting in the wind. Does Obama care? Evidently not as evidenced by his actions. I have my own ideas what Terrys family should do but I will not utter them here. Holder is a lying scumbag. Obama is covering up Holders scumbagism which makes him as guilty as Holder. What a criminal government we have.
One thing is for sure, Obama, with his actions over the past several weeks has made a mockery of the rule of law rendering it nonexistent. With his actions there is nothing in any law anywhere to prevent or prohibit any crime. He is a joke.

Karl Rove and John Ashcroft would make two nice jail mates.

I'm still pissed about her not going after Rove. That FB is poison.

Now is the time for the Democratic Party to show some backbone, and voice their disapproval for this manufactured charge. They should be outraged at the extent that the Republicans will go to destroy President Obama and his Administration.
The Republican Party certainly isn't the party of integrity or decency. They are corrupting the system for political gain, and they should be charged for making false claims. It's against the law on a personal level, it should be in this case.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
Famous last words of our pathetic generation.
