Citizens Try to Go Barney Fife on Karl Rove

It’s been well established that Karl Rove is not exceedingly popular in Iowa, but good Lord, now there are even retired ministers there trying to drop citizens’ arrests on him. A former pastor — presumably not named Barney Fife — and three members of the Des Moines Catholic Workers community were cited for trespassing (by the real police) and released, after accusing Rove of “election fraud and conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud the United States in the time before the Iraq War.”
