Rove: Pelosi 'sounds like Mad Red Queen' with arrest threat

Karl Rove said Rep. Nancy Pelosi was "dead wrong" when she suggested Wednesday that she could have had him arrested.

"The only way I could have been arrested is if the House adopted the resolution, which it did not," the Republican operative and former adviser to President George W. Bush told Fox News on Wednesday night.

"So, it's nice to know that Speaker Pelosi wanted to have me arrested.
