Speaking at a recent meeting of mortgage bankers, Karl Rove was nearly arrested by Janine Noneparth

  The man has nerve. Karl Rove, the man who gave us George Bush not once but twice, appeared at a mortgage bankers conference and blamed the Democrats for the financial mess, saying they were the ones behind the irresponsible deregulation. "The deregulators, the anti-regulators, the let-them-do-anything-they-want crowd were all Democrats," he said. It was all too much for Janine Noneparth, who abruptly strode on to the stage, whipped out a pair of handcuffs and tried to execute a citizen's arrest of Mr Rove. He flapped his elbows about and she was removed by security. Ah well, the trial might have been fun.

Oh well, we can dream can't we?
