THE DEATH OF LIL' KARL

So Karl Rove is leaving the White House, and there aren't a whole lot of tears being shed across America this week. But Karl's retirement will end a fun bathtime game at the Workman compound. We can no longer play Lil' Karl.

I started playing this game several months ago when I noticed that our babies looked a little like Karl Rove when you slicked their hair back. For instance, here's Will pretending not to answer a subpoena from Congress.

And check out Nate pretending to leak our identities to Roberk Novak.But now that I look at these photos, they actually don't look all that much like Karl. There are a few reasons for this. First, their fat little faces are starting to thin out...And they've got more hair...But there's something else that doesn't fit, either. Will, wants to whisper the secret to me...Oh, how could I have forgotten: Nate and Will aren't cankered vessels of hate and evil who are intent on destroying American democracy. Karl Rove is. How could I have gotten that mixed up? Will is frankly upset I even made the comparison.And Nate is none too pleased either.I'm sorry, guys, I'm really sorry. Please, don't spread false rumors in the press that I'm secretly gay.
