Nancy Pelosi would consider prosecuting some Bush White House officials, she told Fox News Sunday, even though Barack Obama has signaled that he doesn't favor such a move. "We cannot let the politicizing of, for example, the Justice Department to go unreviewed," says the speaker of the House.

Elsewhere on the Sunday circuit:

  • Rod Blagojevich did not imply he wanted anything improper in talks about Barack Obama's Senate successor, Rahm Emanuel said on NBC's Meet the Press, the AP reports.
  • Pelosi wants to repeal the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy before they expire next year. 
  • Obama will jump right into international diplomacy, top aide David Axelrod told CNN's State of the Union.
