Pranksters At The White House

Karl Rove's Jaguar Appears Wrapped Up

Farewell parties can get pretty wild. Farewell presents, even more. And if you are Karl Rove and is your last week at The White House, you can expect a small conventional present from your collaborators as a regular silver ashtray, a nice tie with a funky colour or a romantic dinner for two. Yet, Rove's friends have done a step forward when talking about going away presents: having wrapped his Jaguar with plastic, they slapped an "I love Barack Obama" bumper sticker, strapped two eagles on the trunk and a stuffed elephant on the hood.

Not sure that he will have THAT much sense of humour when facing his present!
