Rove Discloses $2,073 Hunting Rifle Gift (from Katherine Armstrong)

WASHINGTON -- The owner of the South Texas ranch where Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a hunting companion chipped in on the gift of a gun for presidential aide Karl Rove last year.

Specifically, a Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon II, a handsome 20-gauge hunting rifle worth $2,073 that Katharine Armstrong and 10 other friends gave the senior adviser and deputy chief of staff to President Bush, according to financial disclosure forms released Friday for top White House aides.

Among the others who teamed to give the pricey gift, most of them prominent Texas Republicans from Rove's former hometown of Austin, were Mark McKinnon, the chief media strategist for Bush's two presidential campaigns, and Ernie Angelo, a former Republican national committeeman from Midland.

The only detail provided by White House spokesman Ken Lisaius was that the gun was a gift to Rove from friends.

:beer::beer::beer: Are you sure you wouldn't like another :beer: Deadeye?
They should invite Justice Scalia along too.

Come on tiger, that's just a piece of cheap clothesline. BE FREE! You can do it.
They can't hit a moving target, especially when they're hammered.
Oh, look. They're shooting each other!
Guns empty? Good. DINNER TIME!

good stuff!

That will distract them and make them hurry with their actions.

for KKarl's help in 'shift-shaping' the facts and buying her 24 hours in the Cheney shooting?

But in my opinion, what Rove REALLY needs is a special hunting suit--a tan-colored one-piece with a white front and an antler head-piece to set it off to its best advantage.

It would be a smash hit during deer season.

:evilgrin:

If things go wrong during the Libby trial. 20 gauge shotguns at dawn, a matter of honor (among thieves).

in the realm of high end shotguns. I use an 870 but that is far from ridiculous.
