Turdblossom's Car Falls Victim To Prank
AP Via Yahoo:
Karl Rove, your car is ready.
White House pranksters wrapped Rove's Jaguar in plastic wrap on the private driveway next to the West Wing. Rove's car is easily recognizable because of its "I love Barack Obama" bumper sticker and the twin stuffed-animal eagles on the trunk. Oh, and there's a stuffed-animal elephant on the hood.
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.
I thought only women drove that model of Jaguar. They're quite effeminate. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
heh.
Is Karl still inside the car? ;)
Glad to see another reich-winger supporting America by purchasing a foreign automobile.
his own people did it but watch the media blame it on a dem or some leftist.
Classic prank
Wouldn't it be nifty if he had to get a new paint job?
Guess he supports the American auto worker by supporting the Ford owned Jaguar. More trickle down or do they actually build the car in the States?
Yes, turdblossom's bubble is popping.
They'll blame Clinton, along with the missing w's on their keyboards.
My tax dollars better not have paid for that shrink wrap . . .

LMBloatedAO!!!!!
Karl was away, lurking around the local men's room.
Awesome.
Almost as awesome as Karl Rover and the shocker: http://4.content.collegehumor.com/d1/ch6/8/a/collegehumor.9ba3cec80c8f06...
So whip out the security cameras and let's see who did it.
I guess for Karl, it's a wrap.
Heh!
Hey Karl, whats wrong with D-Troit cars?
They should have just keyed it.
The White House pranksters probably had to get the okay from Rove first. Otherwise, they'd have been sent to Guantanamo.
All Jags are engineered and built in the UK. Engineering support comes from Ford Europe, which is headquartered in the UK.
They will blame nobody and laugh at it like it was some cute harmless joke from workers who loved him.
Dr. Matt @ 4:
Jaguar was bought by Ford.
Karl won't find what Bush left him, until he opens the door.
Meanwhile, in Bizarro World(aka Pakistan):
Pakistan's exiled former prime minister said Wednesday that President Gen. Pervez Musharraf had agreed to step down as military chief in a move she expected before the next presidential election...
...Benazir Bhutto, who has been engaged in talks with Musharraf on a power-sharing deal, also said corruption charges would be dropped against her and dozens of other lawmakers as part of the negotiations to restore civilian rule...
...In Washington, State Department spokesman Tom Casey would not comment directly on the reports that Musharraf and Bhutto had come to a deal.
"Our principal concern in Pakistan is that there be free, fair and transparent elections held in which all legitimate political forces in the country have an opportunity to participate," Casey said. "We certainly want to see the Pakistanis have an electoral process that results in a government that they feel represents their interests."
Musharraf has seen his authority erode since March, when he tried unsuccessfully to remove the Supreme Court's top judge. The move triggered protests that grew into a broad campaign against his continued rule.
The court reinstated the judge in July, raising expectations that it will uphold legal challenges to Musharraf's re-election. The court on Wednesday admitted a petition filed by Qazi Hussain Ahmad, head of the Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami party, against Musharraf's dual role as president and military chief.
Last week, the court ruled that Nawaz Sharif, the prime minister toppled in 1999 who is also living in exile, can return to Pakistan ahead of parliamentary elections due by January.
In an interview published in Wednesday's Financial Times, Sharif said he would return before the start of the holy month of Ramadan in mid-September.
Government threats to arrest him on charges dating back to the coup would strengthen his support, he said.
"Today the people, civil society, the judiciary, the political forces and the media are on one side, and the dictator and his shrinking support are on the other side," Sharif was quoted as saying.
He said he felt "let down by the United States," which he has accused of confusing Musharraf's interests with those of Pakistan as a nation.
Nice Euro-trash rig there Karl.. I hope it rains so the piece of crap won't start
Too bad it is a fake prank because I'm pretty sure the SS would not let anyone close enough to the West Wing to get away with that.
Wrap it before you tap it.
Did they find a horse's head inside?
el kanuckistani @ 8:
Jags are still built in the UK.
It must be nice to play fun and games after all the devastation they've caused world-wide.
www.ronnierayjenkins.com, a place where fun and games don't involve corruption, lies, and killing.
I hear that sailors consider a single seagull perching on their vessel to be a sign of very good luck.
lucid fiction @ 20:
Buying Ford is not buying American. I need to recheck the facts but I'm pretty sure Toyota uses as much or more American manufactured parts than Ford does.
If the WH staff starts popping the bubble wrap, boosh will be reminded of his college hangover days.
This guy will do anything to stay in the news.
I wonder what they'll do to Alberto's car next week? Perhaps they'll tie cans to the bumper and write "Just Resigned" on the back window...
(Note to self: Don't take big slugs from coffee-mugs whilst reading comments.) Hope that the Jag wasn't damaged. Much as I wouldn't piss on Rove himself if he burst into flames, vandalism is not cool.
Jaguars are assembled at Castle Bromwich in Birmingham and Halewood in Liverpool. On 11 June 2007, Ford announced that it planned to sell Jaguar, along with Land Rover. The buyer was initially expected to be announced by September 2007, possibly a private equity group, but the sale was delayed, and an announcement will not be made until the end of 2007. India's Tata Motors and Mahindra and Mahindra have expressed an interest in purchasing Jaguar and Land Rover from the Ford Motor Company.
hope @ 31:
A Toyota Camry is, on the whole, more "American" than a Ford Fusion. I can't remember where I read that - either Car and Driver or Consumer Reports.
Ron @ 28:
My thoughts as well. If these turds have enough time on their hands for this crap, then give them a shovel and put them to work in Iraq.
Are all of those MANLY TOYS on his car even legal? In California, if he was a "common" citizen, this would be illegal under the concept of interfering with the drivers view of the road.
As usual, King George's racist Brain(?) is above the "common" man, and like LIBBY, regular rules DO NOT apply to him.
Just remember that this is what our tax dollars are paying for, among other bullshit.
AML @ 34:
That's actually a good idea. Maybe that way he'll be able to recall that he resigned.
cubiclegrrl @ 35:
i would piss on him no matter what the circumstance
the 'terrists' are at it again.
Rusty Shackleford @ 37:
I owned a Toyota, Built in California. I'd rather own a foreign car made in America,
than an American car built in a foreign country. But in the end, it's all relative, thanks
to the 'Global Economy'.
Where did Rove get money for a Jaguar? I thought he was in public service.
Mitch @ 46:
his government salary is over $100K/yr
It looks like Karl has fallen victim to his own WMD (Wrap of Mass Destruction).
meh
Perfect example of the juvenile and immature behavior often exhibited by this purely partisan PNAC GOP Rethuglican Bush Administration.
Bushies going to run on the 'four more wars' slogan again in 08?
mister mix @ 47:

Rove, Karl C $157,000 Senior Adviser to the President in 2004
PS. your definately not going to like this but if the that position is treated anything like the president and the congress' salaries then that salary is for life.
Dr. Matt @ 4:
Jaguar is owned by Ford.
This prank took place in Texas. What do they have planned for his sendoff from DC? Paint him in war paint and shove him nude out the WH door? Or would that just too much of the same ol' everyday stuff to be considered a prank?
Isn't there a sexual...er...kink...where folks wrap them up in plastic?
Just asking...
It really, truly still is a gay fraternity.
The Truth Hurts @ 16:
Oh sure, and get caned at a black camp in Singapore!
Really, what's with the plush toys on the car though? Didn't Toys'R'Us have any pompoms and pink streamers in stock when Rove decided to personalize his vehicle?
If they didn't use fire, they didn't do it right.
Dr. Matt @ 4:
Jaguar = Ford Taurus. It's been many years since there was a foreign jaguar. Just look at the next jag you see and tell me if it doesn't look like a taurus as much as a acura looks like a honda.
I actually thought that was a pretty funny prank..be better if there was a pile of dog shit on the drivers seat and smear all on his interior.
hope @ 53:
RTF Article first dude...this happened in Wash D.C., west wing! Turdblossom is in Texa$$, on vacation again with duhbhya.
"White House pranksters wrapped Rove’s Jaguar in plastic wrap on the private driveway next to the West Wing....
Rove....left his car on the driveway while visiting Texas and traveling with President Bush. He was due back in Washington Wednesday evening."
That's a yoogaly (u-gly) car!! It became better looking after it was wrapped.
ironchef @ 58:
Jaguar's are manufactured in the UK. American workers are not getting "paid" when someone purchases one.
I apologize for my earlier comment. I didn't mean to advocate violence. Sorry.
When my sister got married we filled her car with confetti. When she sold it six years later we were still finding confetti everywhere.
I kind of wish someone would do that to karl's car.... only with dead fish.
your momma @ 59:
Sorry. I'll promise not to speed read a thread anymore if you'll promise to quit using the word "dude", Duuuudde.
Dr. Matt @ 61:
Ahhh, but American corporatists are getting paid. And after all, they're really KKKarl's consistuents.
Oops - "consistuents" . . Freudian slip?
OMG, I knew Rover lacked class, and his kitschy car proves just how much.
He has more money than taste.
Gee Frat boy humor How typical of this crowd.
FreedomOfInformationAct @ 50:
Do we need any MORE evidence that the WH is being run by a bunch of Frat Boys?
Once again, the thought, "If this were the Clinton WH..." crosses my mind for the gazilionth time.
that's not a Jaguar.
that's a Taurus with fancy rims.
just like W - he's not a president.
he's a Sears model with a good speech writer.
Just try attending a Bush "public" meeting with that sticker on your car or t-shirt!
MargeAggedon @ 62:
On That 70's Show, they filled the hubcaps on Kelso's van with dead fish, so he would smell it, but have no idea where the smell was coming from.
oZer @ 70:
Lingerie?
Different Anonymous @ 54:
Yep, anything like Saran Wrap.
mister mix @ 43:
Yet another fetish.
thats it clyde take a dump in the nice chubby bastards drivers seat!

Wow. I'll bet those staffers laughed themselves into a pantwetting frenzy pulling this trick. I'm sure a few off them capped the evening off with a cup of hot cocoa and an intern. Or a sexual act in a public loo. But definitely, hot cocoa for afters.
Vandalism!! Oh the horror!
cubiclegrrl @ 35:
Would mass human extermination in Iraq and many elsewheres fall under the category of vandalism?
Too bad they couldn't wrap Nwalins in plastic wrap.
crazylove @ 79:
No, not playing nicely with others.
edgar @ 26:
Methinks turdblossom would've preferred to have found a horse's penis.
Could have been worse I suppose for old Turdblossom. Someone could have taken his nickname literally and placed bags of real dog turds all over his car.
This prank has 'fond coworker' adorableness written all over it. Too harmless. No doubt female.
Ya know, the kind of brittle office humor that evokes a rictus-like amused response.
Chummy the way dingos (scrawny wild dogs) are chummy, whereupon witnessing such makes one throw up a little in one's mouth.
I would have dropped about a ton of pig shit on it.
This is what passes for humor among Republicans, the frat rat type their boss is so fond of. Really witty and clever, don't you think?
Now, unless this is revenge by someone punked by Rove in the same manner, that is just wrong.
You don't screw with another man's automobile! Even if he is an asshole. Although it is a POS Jag/Ford. Or, is it a KIA?
Stuffed eagles and stuffed elephants does not pass as eccentric (I admire true eccentrics). It just proves Rove is a geek, always has been a geek, and always will be a geek. That's probably why he went for power. It's like the small penis guy disparaging non-macho men and watching NASCAR. Grrrr.... argh.... Posing as a "warrior" is another common ploy.
What if they find him SEALED INSIDE!!!
Now THAT would be my kinda eccentric, smirking in a diner somewhere years from now holding up his mug for a refill.
(mean the fuzzy fatman sealed inside)
(the unsung hero/perpetrator of our story long gone into the sea of humanity)
They should have shrink wrapped Rove himself.
Maybe when George leaves these twerps will really pry the Ws off the keyboards and trash the offices. I wouldn't be surprised...
This couldn't have happened to a more deserving individual...
Look!
He's preparing for the next big WMD attack!
Priceless
Cadillac makes a better car, and you don't look like a red-white-and-blue douchebag for driving one, like you do when you are a USA-is-#1 kind of guy that drives a Jag.
ysbaddaden @ 83:
When Mad Magazine spoofed the Godfather in the 70's they used the horses ass. How fitting for toxic Turdwaste.
SplendidOne @ 52:
The Not so Big Three opposed recent attempts to raise CAFE levels. Their business plan and vision is utterly defunct. They know what to do but won't do it because they are addicted to the crack of short term profit and shareholder return. I will never buy an American car until they get a clue.
mister mix @ 43:
I couldn't. That big smile that he would have on his face would be too creepy.
Was he parked in the handicapped stall?
It's a sicilian message, he's "wrapped up" with the fishes..no one can get through his secrets.. wrapped rove
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha....those zaney guys! I can't begin to tell you how anxious Faux News is about covering KKKarl's arrival and surprise when he sees his SS guarded car 'punked'. I wonder if Ashton Kircher is hiding in the bushes waiting to leap out at the proper moment and laugh unconrtrolably at that Zany Karl! That Karl, he's just like anybody else...he's one of us! Everybody loves him so much, they just want to "play" with Karl. Oh man, this is the joke of the century....except that Karl probably orchestrated it and unless he left the planet he has seen this "prank" reported on about a gazillion news outlets today. Things like this sure do keep the stories about the war dead off the front pages. Yup, Karl get's internets time, while our war dead get a small paragraph on page 5 below the fold...support the troops Karl! Oh, wait, I didn't notice Karl's yellow ribbon on his jag...hahahahahahahahah that zaney Karl!
