Karl Rove. There’s not much to like about him. The White House adviser has been on a charm offensive recently, hitting the Sunday morning talk shows with abandon in a desperate attempt to shore up his drooping reputation. Nobody’s buying it, Mr. Rove.

 

The unfortunate victim

 

In a seemingly stage-managed piece of down-home street theater, Rove yesterday fingered Al Hubbard, a White House staffer, as the merry prankster behind the wrapping of Rove’s car in plastic. The car was also decorated with stuffed eagles, a GOP elephant, and a sticker reading “I Love Obama.”

 

No, you don’t. And yes, Mr. Rove, history will judge you. With the back of its hand.

 

Al Hubbard, guilty?

Rove really can’t be gone soon enough.
