WH shrink wraps Rove's car

ABC News' Ann Compton reports: When out-going White House adviser Karl Rove returns from a trip to New Orleans with the President onboard Marine One Wednesday afternoon, he'll get a surprise when he tries to drive home.

His car, parked on West Executive Avenue in a prime spot near the White House, has been shrouded in shrink wrap, with two stuffed eagles mounted on the trunk and an Obama bumper sticker slapped onto the car.

The prank is a goodbye gift of sorts for Rove, who is retiring in two days.

However Rove's young White House staff is not claiming responsibility ... yet.

1. An Obama sticker, eh? Not a Clinton one?

ABC 'news'--first with this story, of COURSE...

[gatorboy]

6. Perhaps what folks have been saying is true.

Rove and Co. truly are more worried about an Obama win

[MindPilot]

2. That's just sad...

that Rove wasn't in it.

[Stewie]

3. And Larry Craig left a little somethin' under the door handle...

4. How nice - while our troops die and democracy is being killed, our government plays.

What a bunch of f*ckin' bullshit.

Everything is a game with these people.

Personally, I find these types of pranks distasteful and inappropriate during a time of war, when thousands of troops have died needlessly based on a war of lies.

Millions of Americans have NO HEALTH INSURANCE.

We are in DEBT UP TO OUR ASSHOLES.

Our liberties and rights are being stripped from us, and few are even concerned about it.

And yet there's time for this shit.

I CALL BULLSHIT! IMPEACH THE ASSHOLES ALREADY!! :mad:

5. they will also be coming back from visiting NO... Yeah, the place Bush said he would rebuild

[havocmom]

8. Remember back to Jan 01, and 'the grown-ups are in charge'?

The 'grown-ups' turn out to be a bunch of punk brats with irreversible arrested-adolescence problems.

14. First thing I thought of was the supposed "W" keys missing from the

keyboards, saying it was Clinton's fault....saying the Clinton staff trashed the place....

It should be pretty obvious by now that was a lie...given the chance, THESE would be the jokers to trash the place before leaving, should a Democrat win.

[tridim]

15. "Restoring honor and dignitude" until the very end I see..

It started on day one with the fake "W" keys story and never stopped.

[Beausoir]

24. Yeah....the grown-ups.

:rofl:

[havocmom]

30. Got a call from my brother on 9-12-01

"Aren't you glad the grown-ups are in charge now?"

'Ah, if GROWN-UPS were in charge, this would not have happened. A grown-up would not have sat there with a book in his hands, staring like a brain damaged deer in the headlights. A grown-up would not have played silly hide and seek games with aircraft and safe bases when Americans were dying on US soil. Grown-ups would not be passing blame to the scapegoats they were trying to pick a fight with, they would go out, announce they were looking for answers and then doing THAT.'

He did not call me after Katrina hit.

:shrug:

[Freedomofspeech]

23. Well, said...

Just like when the idiot * made the video looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction, under the couch in the Oval Office. Pathetic, disgusting pigs.

[Oilwellian]

26. No kidding

This goes beyond the pale. :(

[habitual]

7. Ha! good to know his young white house staff are complete failures

at keeping a secret. How won't he know now that it is widely published!! hahaha

[maddezmom]

9. pretty lame...here's a pic

[MADem]

11. OK, is that 'shrink wrap' or just SARAN wrap? It's lame as hell, is what it is. NT

[sundancekid]

25. interpretation of ... extremes (but not dreams)

CONSIDER THIS:

2 eagles rather than one - naturally divisive symbol, one of "us" and one for "them"
plastic wrap - classic "quality" of rovian message substance packaging
transparency to luxury class auto - yea, we know all too well their 1% constituency

[Kadie]

10. Well, they had to do something with all that plastic and duct tape. n/t

[havocmom]

16. ::choke::

:spray:

[zanne]

12. Sounds like something we'd do. nt

[havocmom]

18. Nah, we'd be more accurate and use yellow crime scene tape. (n/t)

[cali]

13. I read it as "Whitehouse shrink wraps Rove's ear"

that was much more interesting.

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Shrink wrap KKKarl - he needs a condom, since he's a big p***k

[Starbucks Anarchist]

19. Helpful, since the administration is made up of leftovers now.

[radfringe]

20. SHEESH... they couldn't wait until ROVE was IN the car before sealing it shut?

[Kadie]

21. ROFL!!!

:rofl:

[driver8]

22. Oh, those crazy young fascists...

they are always up to something, aren't they?

[Turbineguy]

27. Very Funny

Like a few pranks that Rove pulled on the U.S.

[jbonkowski]

28. Those guys are hilarious!

Remember the time they punked the country into a war and got thousands of soldiers killed?

Good times...good times...

29. Ahhhh! How cute!

I guess we're just supposed to be giggling all over ourselves about the antics of those crazy White House scamps! Now, doesn't this little tidbit just bring them all down to "the regular guys" level for you?

Now, bend on over and let 'em screw you to the wall.

[jackstraw45]

31. Another good use of OUR tax dollars by the Bush administration...nt
