Hmmm.
NYT: “Karl Rove nosed his Jaguar out of the garage at his home in Northwest Washington in the predawn gloom, starting another day in which he would be dealing with a troubled Supreme Court nomination, posthurricane reconstruction and all the other issues that come across the desk of President Bush’s most influential aide.”
ABC’s The Note: “Deputy White House Chief of Staff Karl C. Rove arrived this morning at the federal courthouse around 8:45 am ET, walking through the Third Street entrance to appear before the grand jury working with special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald to determine if any laws were broken in conjunction with the disclosure of CIA employee Valerie Wilson’s name. He apparently arrived in a tan Toyota Camry.”
A secret car switcheroo? Yet more Note mumbojumbo? Or even more of an international man of mystery than we thought?
(ed.note: Special thanks to TPM Reader TP. Also, note that the Times piece refers to Rove’s Wednesday morning departure for work while the ABC mention is about his arrival this morning at the grand jury. But CNN has an AP photo of Rove’s depature this morning. You be the judge of what he’s driving. Maybe he decided that showing up at the court house in his Jag to make his final plea wasn’t the right optics.)
Late Update: Here’s an even better picture of our man Karl in the Quartz colored Jaguar S-Type this morning. TPM Reader GH snags the credit for this one.
