A member of the antiwar group Code Pink attempted to place former Bush advisor Karl Rove under arrest as he was speaking at a mortgage bankers meeting in San Francisco Tuesday. She moved to put handcuffs on him, but Rove managed to keep her away and then security escorted her offstage.

Video, via Think Progress, is below. The protester, who has been identified as Janine Boneparth, comes onstage about 40 seconds in.
