Karl Rove Disrespects Sanctity of Marriage, Gets Divorce
Marriage warrior Karl Rove has been granted a divorce in Texas, and the family wants its privacy respected:
"A family friend told POLITICO: 'After 24 years of marriage, many of
which were spent under incredible stress and strain during the White
House years, the Roves came to a mutual decision that they would end
the marriage. They did spend Christmas together with their son, and
they plan to spend time together in the future. They maintain a strong
friendship, and they both feel that that friendship is a source of
comfort and inspiration for their friends and family.'
So it's Bush's fault?
Said spokeswoman Dana Perino: “Karl Rove and his wife, Darby, were granted a divorce last week. The couple came to the decision mutually and amicably, and they maintain a close relationship and a strong friendship. There will be no further comment, and the family requests that its privacy be respected.”
a few years ago it was revealed that Rove's adoptive father, Louis Rove, was gay in a book entitled "The Architect"; he had left the family but allegedly remained in contact and close to his son; i read nothing into this, just citing what has been written;
and as far as respecting their privacy, i agree with others who posted above - he's done nothing to respect a lot of people's privacy - so why should we?

His public views are all that matters as those have been the ones that have had tangible impact on the political trajectory of the republican party. Who cares what he says when no one's listening?

Karl Rove is a disgusting pig and a another hypocritical piece of shit from the republican party. They are immoral homophobic scum and history and higher powers will punish this evil fascist vermin from the south and where ever else they might scurry to.

Oh, you crazy liberals.
They got divorced because the missus was unable to fit in bed each nite, due to Karls insanely large forehead. Duh!!!
Plus, God thinks divorce is okay when rich, white, Christian men do it.... however he is a little upset that Rove didn't have a mistress.

A source of cmfort and inspiration??
Really? How?
Also, Karl, you're one of the little socialist operatives who said everybody else's private life was actually subject to arbitrary government regulation. Soutou can shove your desire for privacy. You do win a poison cactus dildo award though.

I blame Obama... it's all Obama's fault.
just had to say that cuz it's pretty lame and tiring to hear democrats continue to blame blame blame, so lets turn the table and blame Obama.

"incredible stress and strain" ... no doubt there are major problems being in charge of all the Republican dirty tricks. Knowing that most of the lowlife slime ball tactics you not only dreamed up but executed would someday come back and bite you in the butt big time would seemingly place a lot of stress on most normal people. Once the tide began to turn and Rove (along with Cheney) fell out of favor I'm sure the stress and strain became even greater, thus resulting in another family values failed marriage. My guess is that the loss of political power is much more hurtful to Rove than the end of his marriage.

The next time this douchebag is on Faux News dissing gay marriage, he needs to be immediately shaken hard and then slapped in the face.
