Protester attempts to actually arrest Karl Rove!

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

From the SFgate:

An anti-war protester confronted former Bush administration aide Karl Rove while he spoke at a San Francisco mortgage bankers’ meeting, attempting to handcuff him in what she called a citizen’s arrest for “treason.”

A statement by the group Code Pink identified the woman as 58-year-old Janine Boneparth. As Boneparth confronted him, another Code Pink member told the audience that Rove was involved in lying about the Iraq war.

The whole seminar was marred by several outbusrts from protesters but the highlight of the night was the exchange between Mr. Rove and George Mitchell (at the end of the video). I was rolling on the floor in laughter. What a great night of comedy courtesy of the GOP. Keep it up guys! Great material…
