Poll question: Why did White House "pranksters" write "I love Obama" on Rove's car?
Edited on Sat Sep-01-07 12:50 AM by calteacherguy
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."

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




Hmmm...why Obama? Why not "I love Hillary," "I love Edwards," or even "I love Kucinich?"

What's it about Obama?

3. It's a Rovian plot to make us think deeply about it, diverting our energy from other stuff.
That bastard.

6. 4. Rove paid the "pranksters" to write 'I Love Osama'
But when he saw it he realized it was too over the top, even for him.

8. Other:
It was a bunch of Rovian anal retentive fuckups, desperately pretending to be human and not succeeding particularly well.

9. I think it was one of those subtle southern messages.
In other words: an attempt to be racist. These people have no low, remember that.

10. Here's a non-subtle Southern message:

racism is everywhere and it's a real pain to always hear it blamed on Southerners.

12. I never get why people want to analyze someone who is insane.

What resonates is that I couldn't care less what Turdblossom has to say.

Quite frankly, unless he's responding to a subpoena, I could go through the rest of my life fine with never hearing about him again.

I am so over these people (GOP et al). I am anxious for them to go away. The sooner the better.

I think Obama has the best shot of making it painful for them.

16. because he's been critical of hillary
and the humor was in having him depicted as being an ardent obama supporter.

Its not that complicated.

18. Given the recent right wing sexual
peccadilloes this may have reveal deep rooted Freudian issues about race and sex.
