Pranksters Hit Karl Rove's Car

Outgoing White House Strategist's Jaguar Covered In Plastic Wrap

(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.

[thinkforself]

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.

Lets not let men with little or no power make fun of those that do......but did like the Obama sticker

[abbe91]

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

"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."

"...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??

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. 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.

[megahaole]

I guess I just don''t get the joke(s).

[sgtrds]

It''s a shame they didn''t wrap Rove up in plastic wrap....really really tightly....over his mouth and nose......tight....until he stopped kicking.......

[jerr11]

That is one of Rove''''s dirty card tricks up his brown-shirt sleeve.

Same dirty trick he played on Dan Rather when he gave him those fake Bush AWOL Documents.

I''''m sure if this was done to Obama the title would be "Vandals attack democratic leader''''s car"
Funny how news is so tilted

*************************************
With "MC" Karl Rove''s last day in office approaching, fellow west wing friends wrapped up the adviser''s car in plastic wrap and attached two stuffed, toy eagles. Signs read "King Karl" and "I Love Obama."
*************************************
What is "tilted" here is the tiresome mantra, "the liberal media."
The media already knew it was an inside job before they even reported it, and as such, was much more likely "pranksters" than vandals.
If vandals were able to get into the west-wing parking lot, that would have been a story indeed for the "liberl media."

[ghostcommand]

Rove may have done this himself or had someone do it. That is one of Rove''s dirty card tricks up his brown-shirt sleeve.

where the heck is security in this day and age of terroristic threats? toooo funny.

[j-whitman]

I''d still like to know what the reason is for glueing stuffed animals on a nice Jaguar is.... Is it some kind of toe-tapping signal to lure children ??? --- He''s the Pied Piper of Haliburton

I like the part about how the income tax is illegal. It must be a fantasy films production.

Ahhh...Sounds like the comments of either a Tax preparer or IRS employee. Worried your job might be in danger?
Interestingly, there seems to be a move on Capital Hill to CHANGE the tax system with this little gem of information one of the points along with the huge BIASED boondoggle it has become. Everything from going to a "national sales tax" to something called "the Fair Tax" is being proposed. Not time for cheering in the streets yet but it''s a start.

As far as the usual frat boy style (YAWN) goodbye prank - guess his cronies found it funny. I just wonder HOW MANY Jaguars and other LUXURY lifestyle things he''s leaving with. Sort of RUBS it in the face of the rest of America that it''s out there the same time the statistics how ONLY the TOP 5 percent had ANY real gain in their standard of living and the poor when inflation is factored in have LOST ground having to put MORE members of the family to work just to keep up to where they were 5 years ago.

So, the frat boy NEOCONS are partying while REAL Americans WORK HARDER FOR LESS.

Let them eat cake Karl, let them eat cake...
