Judge says "It's about time," to Rove Arresters

The four Iowans arrested last Friday for attempting to make a citizen's arrest of Karl Rove

Retired Methodist minister, Chet Guinn, 80, and Des Moines Catholic Workers, Ed Bloomer, 61, Mona Shaw 57, and Kirk Brown, 25, were arrested at a Des Moines country club where Rove was appearing at a Republican Fundraiser.

Shaw was the first called before Polk County Fifth Judicial District Associate Judge William Price.

After entering her plea, the judge asked Shaw, "Mamn, what were you doing at the Wakonda Country Club?"

"I was attempting to make a citizen's arrest of Karl Rove, your honor," Shaw answered.

"Well," the judge looked up and said, "it's about time."

Then the judge called the other three defendants to the bench and accepted their pleas simultaneously.

A jury trial for has been set for August 20, 2008.

Previous reports that the arrest was "pre-arranged" by either the defendants or the Des Moines Police are inaccurate.

Unless this judge said that tongue-in-cheek, the prosecution should ask him to recuse himself due to bias.

If the rep from the DA's office who handles arraignments didn't raise a stink...I doubt the prosecutors office will.

Sounds like the judge is ready to dismiss the charges with the apology of the court.

I'm going to bet that this is from over in the Moonbat side of Iowa where that ****ing waste of skin, Tom Harkin is getting all his support from.
