And again I say, "WTF?"
Karl Rove...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.
A picture is worth 1000 words:
Apparently Bush & Rove said a few things to each other while boarding AF1 after Bush gave his latest stump speech disguised as a foreign policy speech. Rove took a detour and sat under the plane. The White House says that it was a "humorous moment".
Did Rove lose a bet with the prez? Was he just playing court jester? We'll probably never know. Nevertheless, this does seem in line with the president's usual "humiliate the subject" sense of humor.
