McGUIRE AIR FORCE BASE, N.J. - Karl Rove laid himself on the line Monday for his boss, the president of the United States.
That is, he laid himself under the wheels of Air Force One. Reason: Unclear, but it seems to have been an inside joke between Rove and President Bush.

Returning to the aircraft after Bush's foreign policy speech, the two men traded words. As Bush climbed the stairs, his top political adviser set his briefcase down in front of the tires and stretched out on the ground with his back to the wheels.

Rove stood back up moments later; a smiling Bush waved from the plane and they both got aboard.

"It was a humorous moment on the campaign trail," was all Bush campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel would say about Rove's antic.

Justice demands we win this one by a truly democratic vote. Plus, we don't want Bush getting any sympathy votes.

And he is already blaming Rove.

I love it.

10. Guess they'll have to schedule a photo-op in front of a Baghdad school

Bush needs to do something to prop up his failing campaign.

6. Damian! Look Damian! I'm doing this for you!!

Mr. Bush then turned to Karen Hughes and said "Mrs. Baylock, er Karen, start the plane. The joke's on Turd Blossom this time." Both chuckled. Bush stooped to pet the Rottweiler and Hughes waddled toward the cockpit with her instructions.
