Pelosi on Gonzales Impeachment: “Of Course It’s Merited”

You might say that Nancy Pelosi’s toe is in the water:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) welcomed a resolution by Rep. Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) to begin an impeachment inquiry of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

“Of course it’s merited,” Pelosi said. “I’ve called for the resignation of the attorney general. But right now, we’re focusing on health care for America’s children, a strong energy bill for energy independence, lobby reform. … If that’s something he wants to introduce, I think there are certainly grounds.”

But Pelosi fell short of committing to move the resolution through the House.
