...but this is a little ridiculous.

In a triumph of investigative journalism, it appears the Associated Press has taken it upon themselves to inventory Karl Rove's garage.

There's a Box 6, Box 4 and Box 7. Boxes 1, 2, 3 and 5 probably contain weapons of mass destruction.

"What appeared to be paint cans, stacked alongside a folded, folding chair."

Wow, I'm really glad they told us that the folding chair was also folded. Woodward and Bernstein must be proud.

"A tall aluminum ladder."

Aren't most aluminum ladders tall? I have to admit, I kind of like the idea of Karl Rove working on a tall aluminum ladder. No, not because he's that farther off the ground for when he falls off, but when he's up on the ladder, he's probably not down on the ground plotting to screw up social security, gain control of uteruses (uterii?) that are not his own, or further expand the grasp of the GOP theocracy.

"Wicker baskets inside of wicker baskets..."

Oh no! Karl has a wicker fetish!

In another corner, there's a rear wheel of a bicycle "along with what appears to be a helmet."

What appears to be?

Egad. Isn't there more important stuff to cover? Like, I dunno, the fact al-Qaeda could be getting in through the Mexican border? The fact we have a UN ambassador who doesn't play nicely with others? The fact we have a national debt that as of this moment is $8,001,674,743,949.52?

And, really, Karl has some pretty pedestrian stuff in his garage. It would have made the story newsworthy if they'd have found:

• a heart (for Karl or Cheney)
  
  
• a brain (for guess Who)
  
  
• a plan for getting us out of Iraq
  
  
• 538 hanging chads
  
  
• how the hell he won Ohio last year

Seriously, media: You're getting desperate here to find things to cover. Try harder.

If you can show me what Karl's cell looks like someday, though, that I would love to see.
