Passive Pelosi™ whines in self-defense, says flat NO to impeachment

Her statement came during a protest-interrupted speech at American University of Judaism in Los Angeles.

Among other things, she defended her, and Congressional Democrats’, pitiful performance the last 18 months:
“Whether it’s the deficit or the challenges to the constitution we have to dig our way out,” Pelosi said, adding “this election is like death for life on this planet as we know it today.”

No, life and death was the FISA vote, and civil liberties died.

So, Peter Thottam, founder of the LA Impeachment Center, challenged her to “do her job”:
“Who gave you the right to take the constitution and shove it down the toilet? Who gave you the right to take impeachment off the table? Nobody told them to do this,” Thottam shouted at Pelosi moments before Secret Service agents removed him from the packed auditorium and turned him over to officers with the Los Angeles Police Department. “One million Iraqis are dead. Five thousand Americans are dead. You have destroyed the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and Eighth Amendments.”

After the speech, during book signing, she refused to mention the idea of inherent contempt against Karl Rove or others, and passed the buck on “ordinary” contempt charges to House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers.

Run, Cindy, Run!
