Pelosi's response to a viewer who asked why she took the impeachment of George W. Bush off the table is categoric proof of her incompetence, dereliction of duty, disdain for the Constitution and disregard for the people of this nation.

By defying a subpoena to testify on his role in politicizing the Justice Department, Rove is thumbing his nose at Congress, legal precedent, the public's right to know the truth, and the Constitution. This is no petty partisan squabble; this is a fight about the foundations of our democracy.
