Pelosi on Gonzales Impeachment: "Of Course It's Merited"

By Paul Kiel, TPMMuckraker

You might say that Nancy Pelosi's toe is in the water:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) welcomed a resolution by Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) to begin an impeachment inquiry of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

"Of course it's merited," Pelosi said. "I've called for the resignation of the attorney general. But right now, we're focusing on health care for America's children, a strong energy bill for energy independence, lobby reform. ... If that's something he wants to introduce, I think there are certainly grounds."

But Pelosi fell short of committing to move the resolution through the House.

Here's our rundown of Inslee's resolution from yesterday.

But not today...

Q U E S T I O N:
So when did Nancy Pelosi STOP being the Congresswoman from San Francisco?

If not today, when, if ever is it acceptable to move forward at accountability of the criminals?

What do you call a person who promises to tell the truth... tomorrow?

I'm amazed that Nancy thinks someone in the Bush administration

is deserving of impeachment. It's not like there are any others, such as Dick and W, who deserve the same fate.

The Big Three? Blech!
