So there's no jail cell in the capitol basement? Well, that rules out inherent contempt.
Anybody who's ever been to the capitol knows that there's not a single square foot of unused space where they could stick the fat-assed malignant swine for a couple of days.
There's not even enough utility closets to store Pelosi shovels and rolling garbage cans -- the stuff she carries when she's on BushWorld patrol, cleaning up all his bullshit.
And the Sargent at Arms is an executive who's more than 60 years old? Too bad this guy has no friends or assistants, lost the US Marshals phone number, can't figure out how to put handcuffs on a perp and generally has no stomach for this type of work.
I didn't know this stuff before. Now I finally understand why they're not actually interested collaring these punks. It's just a simple logistics problem. No spinelessness or blackmail or complicity involved; just lousy luck.
But there other options. Maybe they could outsource the job to any of the hundreds of private military organizations running around these days. Backwater seems pretty busy now that it's expanding into the surveillance/domestic spying/snitch business. DynCorp is a good choice if they're not too busy running their international sex slave operations.
These guys at the
Homeland Security Corporation at least picked the right name. Maybe they could handle Rove's arrest and detention.
If you're curious, here's a
list of private military corps. now marketing their various "security services" to despots and war mongers worldwide -- services like murdering Iraqi civilians at random and then laughing their asses off about it.
