Memo to the White House Staff

My first thought when I saw this photo was “Please, Grow Up.”

It’s official: I’ve become a grumpy old conservative but at least I’m polite.

  1. Hey, I’m grumpy, too, but that’s actually pretty funny.

  2. My first thought:

    Lance: Still got your Malibu?
    Vincent: Aw, man. You know what some **** did the other day?
    Lance: What?
    Vincent: ****ing keyed it.
    Lance: Oh, man, that’s ****ed up.
    Vincent: Tell me about it. I had it in storage for three years, it was out for five days and some ****less piece of **** ****ed with it.
    Lance: They should be ****ing killed. No trial, no jury, straight to execution.
    Vincent: Boy, I wish I could’ve caught him doing it. I’d have given anything to catch that **** doing it. It’d been worth him doing it just so I could’ve caught him doing it.
    Lance: What a ****er!
    Vincent: What’s more chicken**** than ****ing with a man’s automobile? I mean, don’t **** with another man’s vehicle.
    Lance: You don’t do it.
    Vincent: It’s just against the rules.

  3. The President is traveling with Rove otherwise he would have been my first suspect.

    BTW, DRJ. When did Texans start driving Jaguar sedans?

  4. Texans rive whatever the hell they damn well want.

    This was a funny prank. It’s childish, but that’s a universal quality of pranks.

    And it took some balls. Much better than the dozen stop signs in my neighborhood with “bush” spray painted on the lower half. Infinitely funnier than the vandalised Marine billboard in town, And of course, funnier than all those vans that had their tires slashed so the GOP couldnt bus old ladies to the polls.

    So I guess if you vandalize everything in sight eventually you do something funny. Strangely, I don’t see many Republicans doing this stuff. There are nuts on both sides, but it seems more and more than the democrats are defined by their assholes and the republicans are disgusted by theirs.

  6. Actually, it is an excellnt prank .. harmless, easily reversible, and original. I do wonder how exactly the prankster got access to the car, but that is another question.

    I have to agree that you are a bit cranky about this.

  7. There was a picture of Rove standing at the car in my local newspaper. He didn’t look too thrilled at the prank.

    Well, who doesn’t? My question was kind of along the lines “Will Stetson be making bowler hats next?”

  9. Damn! I should have googled before leaving Comment #8.

  10. The best part was the “I love Barack Obama” bumper sticker…

    Priceless…

  11. NK:

    When did Texans start driving Jaguar sedans?

    Everyone knows that real Texans love trucks. The Jaguars (Cadillacs, BMWs, Mercedes and Rolls Royces) are for when we drive out-of-state.

  12. DRJ #11,

    I am still disillusioned. The picture I had of the Texan ideal motor vehicle was a Cadillac Eldorado convertible with a set of Longhorn horns as a hood ornament. 😉

    nk (a6ecc6) — 8/30/2007 @ 10:09 am

  13. nk – I thought that is what Boss Hog drove in Hazard County, KY.

  14. NK,

    Only UT fans drive the Cadillac Longhorn(TM) model and even it’s passe’. Today’s generation prefers the Hummer version.

    DRJ (bfe07e) — 8/30/2007 @ 10:45 am

  15. Pity.

    (Thanks for the hint, JD.)

  16. That makes me think of Jessica Simpson in that 1080i commercial.

    JD (5edd3b) — 8/30/2007 @ 10:53 am

  17. There’s actually a Second Circuit trademark infringement case that discusses that Jessica Simpson commercial in detail, JD.

    I thought the stuffed eagles on the Rovemobile were pretty cute.

    You’re two states off: Georgia.
