(Newser) – Nancy Pelosi would consider prosecuting some Bush White House officials, she told Fox News Sunday, even though Barack Obama has signaled that he doesn't favor such a move. "We cannot let the politicizing of, for example, the Justice Department to go unreviewed," says the speaker of the House.

Elsewhere on the Sunday circuit:

  • Rod Blagojevich did not imply he wanted anything improper in talks about Barack Obama's Senate successor, Rahm Emanuel said on NBC's Meet the Press, the AP reports.
  • Pelosi wants to repeal the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy before they expire next year. 
  • Obama will jump right into international diplomacy, top aide David Axelrod told CNN's State of the Union.

No one is immune. The witch hunts go on and on with alternating sides saying,"Why are they picking on us?"

So, Pelosi lies to her own supporters as well as the nation at large? I am glad we have this to look forward to for the next four years. Also, you DO understand that Barry Hussein is just a figurehead for the true powers; Pelosi and Reid. Barry couldn't lead himself out of a wet paper bag without a teleprompter.
