As if he hasn't taken enough heat for what he did in the White House, Karl Rove is coming under fresh attack for what he plans to do after he leaves on August 31. Specifically, his Labor Day weekend plan to go dove hunting down in Texas, which The Sleuth disclosed earlier this week.
PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, was so outraged to learn about Rove's hunting excursion that it faxed a letter to the White House late Wednesday.
"Dear Mr. Rove," began the letter from President Ingrid E. Newkirk. "From your frequent hunting trips to your bizarre little rap at the Radio and Television Correspondents' Association dinner ("I like to go home, get a drink, and tear the tops off of small animals"), it is clear that you lack the ability to empathize with other living beings. You consistently prove that you care less about animal welfare than Alberto Gonzales cares about habeas corpus."
And if that isn't enough to make you think Ingrid needs to spend some time in anger management, wait 'til you hear the rest.
Newkirk notes that the first thing Rove plans to do upon leaving the White House at the end of his month is "go dove hunting, i.e., kill little birds who are the international symbol of peace. You will leave politics to spend more time with your family only to destroy the families of other species."
Her last line could well set off alarm bells at the Secret Service: "I have just one suggestion: Please take Dick Cheney along on your hunting trips."
No response yet from the White House. But if we get (non-Photoshopped) photos of Rove cuddling with his dogs, you'll be first to see them.

Hey, Ingrid! Do what you do best: Throw dead puppies and kittens in dumpsters.
Uncle Walter and Captain Dan, The Gatekeepers. Thank God for the internet.
“kill little birds who are the international symbol of peace”
You are only allowed to kill if you are from the religion of peace. Karl needs to become a Muslim in order to hunt...
Is he going hunting with Cheney?
Judging from the quotes, Rove and PETA are both deep into self-parody territory.
the other 5% are overweight, pimply, depressed guys just wanting to get laid.
Fvck PETA.
They are the fanatical terrorists in our midst.
Relax, my guess is it was one of the best laughs (getting this letter) Rove’s had in the last year.
He probably recited it while cleaning his shotgun....
