Promises, promises

House Judiciary Committee: we'll arrest Rove if the corpulant scumwad refuses to appear.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said that the House Judiciary Committee would be willing to arrest Karl Rove if Satan's porcine handmaiden doesn't testify about his role in the firing of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006.

Wasserman Schultz, in an interview Tuesday, said that Rove would not be allowed to invoke executive privilege to avoid testifying, since he said he did not have conversations with Preznit LawnOrnament about the firings.

Asked by MSNBC host Dan Abrams if the committee would go far as having Rove arrested, Wasserman said it would.

"Well, if that's what it takes," she said. "I mean we really cannot allow the the legislative branch to be trampled upon by the executive branch. We are co-equals, and this is an administration that essentially has ignored and disrespected the role of the legislative branch for far too long. We will have our revenge. Oh yes."
