![Bugatti Bird-gate Followup: Driver identity revealed <b>[*UPDATE:</b> Now with actual crash video!]](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/bugatti-veyron-swim-1258147199_143x85.jpg)
So long, farewell: Pranksters target the Architect's Jag
As a wrap-up to a very memorable career as "The Architect," Karl Rove's Jaguar was covered in plastic wrap by some White House jokers. Rove is the man considered to be the mastermind behind George W. Bush winning both his Presidential bids, but it couldn't stop him from getting punked. While away in Texas, Rove apparently left his Jaguar in a parking lot adjacent to the White House's West Wing. When he got back into town, he found his Jag had not only been wrapped, but two small Bald Eagles were mounted to the trunk and signs were placed on it that read "King Karl" and "I love Obama." CBS News added that because of the heavy security that usually monitors the White House, they were suspecting it was an inside job. Oh, those nutty news people.

Boy.Did the democrat activists ever hate being outsmarted by this guy.Ha Ha .Good work Karl.George's only mistake was that he had a backbone and understood the complexities of Islamic facism instead of campaigning throughout his presidency like Clinton and not standing up to terrorists.

Yeah, thanks for helping the Prez to make smarter decisions!

If it weren't for Rove, we might have had Gore and/or Kerry in the White House now. Chilling and abhorrent thought IMO.
I'd expect Rove and others high in American politics to drive domestic brands, but I guess Jaguar is OK because it's owned by Ford (for now).

Chilling, huh? Then you will need a blanket when Mrs. President is being addressed.
Glad they are all having such a great time while a war is dragging on and they are busy trying to dismantlie any social advancements from the 1990s.

"I'd expect Rove and others high in American politics to drive domestic brands..."
That's because Rove isn't much of an American. He gets paid by American taxpayers, but doesn't return the favor by buying cars they build.

To Scooter...Those weren't social advancements.Social regression maybe.Maybe if Mrs. President's husband wasn't so busy playing grab-ass with interns He would have had the head to go after Terrorists.Hopefully She'll finally get a chance to work on her marrage after Pres. Rudy's elected.

To JC3...Did you miss the 90's because if you did you might have missed people being paid decent wages, toys without lead, toothpaste without antifreeze, Rudy being divorced three times, Rudy being pro gay marriage, and Rudy being pro gun control, Rudy causing harm to the New York Police Department (the police still chastise his security policies which caused even more trouble on 9/11), and who could forget the fact that thousands of our troops were not dead.
Maybe becoming a Republican makes you forget everything beyond ten minutes ago. That would certainly explain why Bush is doing many of the same mistakes that Regan did causing the rise of both Suddam and Osama in the first place. (See 1981-1987 for reference purposes.)
On another note I think Carl can drive whatever he wants. It's his right to choose. (Civil rights still exists don't they? It's hard to tell some times.)
Funny joke by the way (no one should be without a sense of humour)

Bush is far from perfect, but I have the feeling that most of his problems--or reasons why Democrats hate him so much--is that Bush has had to clean up a mess left by Bill Clinton's inaction.
Giuliani has family baggage, but I really don't care and he'll get my vote if nominated.

Wow, iQuack. I guess I can take comfort in knowing you'll probably be in the low-intellect group of voters who submit a null vote by filling out the form incorrectly.
iQuack 12:43PM (9/03/2007)
Sorry, Phil. It was the nitwit Democrats in Florida who didn't know how to punch a hole in a ballot.
Be sure you read the instructions carefully before voting for your favorite Socialist.

I'm sure the folks in Tikrit and Mosul are laughing real hard right now.

am i the only one wondering why a white house senior staffer isn't driving a car built or assembled in the USA?
hmm, by that i suppose that means a camry would be ok. but at least it gives jobs to fellow citizens in Tenn.
and no, jaguar = ford = american doesn't count!!

Who the hell cares? Because he works for the government, he is forced to buy an American car? That doesn't sound American at all!
We are about freedom of choice, and Karl Rove is entitled to that freedom just as much as we are.

Really, what's he going to drive? I guess a CTS or STS would be more or less equivalent to an S-type, a Zephyr / MKZ if you don't care which set of wheels move the car. You're assuming, however, that this asswipe cares what Americans think or how his actions affect most Americans. He's a neoCON, and has made a career of lining the pockets of the rich (individuals and corporations) by promoting government policies to benefit them directly. He couldn't care less where his car is built, it was probably paid for by a corporate donor.

Come. On.
The terrorists are Clinton's fault???? WTF? A little simplistic, don't you think? Fine, I'll turn it around and use the same solipsist logic:
Exactly who's watch was it when the 911 attacks occurred...? Duh....
It's scary that there are even a few of you weirdos supporting the Bush administration after all that's occurred... DeLay, Frist, Cheney, not to mention Rove, Gonzales, oh yeah...Iraq, heck even your little meat puppets, Limbaugh, Imus, Fox, et al.
What do they have in common? Gee, probably the same scary crap that's in your closet.
Now if they took his damn car off the lot instead...
