Pranksters Hit Karl Rove's Car

(CBS/AP)  White House pranksters are literally marking the wrap-up of top aide Karl Rove's career at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, reports CBS News White House correspondent Peter Maer. Rove's Jaguar, parked in the lot adjacent to the West Wing, has been covered with plastic wrap. Two stuffed eagle toys are mounted on the trunk, and signs posted on the car read "King Karl" and "I love Obama."

Rove, the top White House political strategist who recently announced his resignation, left his car on the driveway while visiting Texas and traveling with President Bush. He was due back in Washington Wednesday evening.

Since the lot is heavily patrolled by the Secret Service, reports Maer, the joke looks like an inside job.

Perfect reason for joking about it.

I don''t think that this [very brief] article was intended to evoke such responses. It appears to be a rather light hearted piece, in what is normally a very chaotic arena.
It''s really not that serious....lighten up folks!

"Typos are different from NOT KNOWING HOW TO SPELL. Bub, you fail the SPELLING BEE."

"If you can''''t pay for a home (which has nothing to do with this vandalism piece on Karl Rove) then you f*c*ING loose the home."

It''s lose, "Bub". Spelling bee, indeed.

Bush will certainly say that he will fire anybody
involved in the wrapping ... So, they are safe.

"...while visiting Texas and traveling with President Bush..."

They are telling you that this Pillsbury Hitlerite has not really resigned.

What are we going to do about it??

If you can''t pay for a home (which has nothing to do with this vandalism piece on Karl Rove) then you f*c*ING loose the home. Don''t make all of the United States pay for your stupidity and lack of financial awareness.

Sargent huh? Of what? Ignorance. You and your ILK are nothing more than venomous and vitrolic. Your nasty comments and antics show who you are and why you should be feared.

All LIBERAL jackers are hacks. You refuse to read truth. K Rove is on your hatehit lists solely because he is a friend of President Bush. That shows you stupid ignorance and juvenile immaturity.
