"No one is above the law."

What a silly thing to say.  Of course there are people who are above the law.  To suggest otherwise is to be naive or a liar. 

Now Nancy Pelosi wants to investigate Bush administration officials for the illegal firing of federal prosecutors.  Her motivation: "No one is above the law."

Now you and I both know that Nancy Pelosi doesn't want to investigate Bush administration officials because of so deep concern for law and order; she wants to investigate because she is a vindictive b***h.

I should also note that Barack Obama does not want to proceed with such investigations, saying we need to look to the future, not the past.  He's just as political as she is, of course, and, were it to suit him politically, would pursue investigations forthwith. 

The most interesting thing to draw from this article, though, is that Pelosi is already disgreeing with Obama.  Could she be setting herself up for a challenge in 2012?
