With “non-impeachment” hearings Friday against Prez Bush (odd, I don’t recall seeing that story as the lead on NBC, CBS or ABC — that damn left wing press), a Bush operative is now receiving some reverse love from the people he worked so hard against.

Second Arrest Attempt On Karl Rove In Iowa Leads To 4 Arrests

Four Iowans were arrested today while attempting to make a Citizens’ Arrest of Karl Rove in Des Moines, Iowa. Citing Iowa Code provisions for making Citizen’s Arrests as well as citing Federal Statute violations they claimed Rove had violated, the four were stopped at the gate of the Wakonda Country Club in Des Moines where Rove was scheduled to speak at a Republican Fundraiser.

The four arrested were retired Methodist minister and Peace and Justice Advocate, Rev. Chet Guinn, 80, as well as three Des Moines Catholic Workers, Edward Bloomer, 61, Kirk Brown, 25, and Mona Shaw, 57. All four were cited for trespassing and released.

The four maintained that they were acting within the guidelines of Iowa Code that obligate private citizens to make such an arrest if they believe a felony has been committed and turn Rove over to police officials to bring Rove before a judge for formal indictment. By law, a federal judge should consider the charges and determine if an indictment should be made.
[…]
Rove remains unindicted and recently refused to cooperate with a Congressional subpoena in the Valerie Plame leak investigation. Despite mounting evidence of Rove’s wrongdoing concerning leading the U.S. to war as well as other actions, Congress and the U.S. judicial system remain reluctant to bring charges against either Rove or the Bush administration.

    I honestly would not be surprised if once shrub is out of office he and a bunch of his friends ended up trying to explain the unexplainable to a judge.

    Not saying this is going to happen but would not be surprised at all. I believe they think they are above the law and have no regard for the Constitution.

    Hey Bush haters get over it. You are looking pretty deranged in beating this dead horse.

    Ha I would have love to see an 80 year old minister try to arrest anyone. At a country club no less. Wait until he’s home
