This is what happens when you get reporters with WAY too much free time:

Karl Rove’s Garage Proves to Be Typical
By DARLENE SUPERVILLE
Associated Press Writer

He is “the architect” who steered George W. Bush to victory four times, twice as Texas governor and twice as president.

But can Karl Rove organize his own garage? Can the master of Bush’s political planning figure out where to put the ladders, paint cans and cardboard boxes?

Rove’s wife, Darby, raised the white garage door one morning last week to show journalists outside the million-dollar brick home that the deputy chief of staff, assistant to the president and senior adviser wasn’t home. All the interest came on the eve of his testimony Friday before a grand jury investigating who in the White House might have revealed the identity of a CIA operative.

There was no car in the garage. And the stuff left behind turned out not to be much different from what gathers dust inside most American garages.

The inventory, seen from outside…

And yes, it goes on to list the entire contents of Karl Roves’ garage. Weird.

We all know that Karl Rove has a secret little cave (almost bat cave like) where he hides the (shhhh) weather machine. Wouldn’t the AP like to see that.

If the mess in a person’s garage is indicative of the person’s character, I am in deep doo-doo. There could be a weather machine in mine and I wouldn’t even know it.

As stupid as this story is, it only rates a stupification factor of 1.17. Now if a picture had been included, that would have pushed the stupidification factor up. As it is, the story was short, to the point, and did have some (limited) informational value.

Has anyone seen my green ladder? I last saw it next to Box #4.
