Trashy New Book About Karl Rove - God = NO, Gay = YES.

I am really stunned. I don't have any judgement about this, but I think it should be seen and discussed.

In Chapter 9, "A Few Simple Questions: What's in Karl's Closet?," the authors draw on interviews with gay acquaintances of Rove's stepfather, Louis Rove, as well as an interview with a circumspect Karl Rove, to reveal that Louis was openly gay after getting divorced from Rove's mother. The chapter jabs hard at Rove, pointing out that Louis Rove, who was clearly Rove's primary father figure, died in Palm Springs just as "his son was in the midst of launching the antigay issues campaign that was to lead to the re-election of George W. Bush."

Honestly, I have a "Who pooped their pants?" face on right now.

How incredibly horrible this man is.

The book is written by the reportersthat did Bushs' Brain... James Moore and Wayne Slater. Moore, an Austin-based journalist, and Slater, senior political writer for The Dallas Morning News.

The authors quote Rove and friends of Rove's stepfather to illustrate that Rove was close to him throughout his life, and seemed not to judge his sexuality. This, and Rove's self-professed agnosticism, are major exhibits in Moore and Slater's claim of hypocrisy. It's hard not to wince at the invocation of such intensely personal material, but it's a testament to the politics that Rove has helped create that it doesn't seem out of bounds.

What a hypocritical slimebucket.

And the worst part is I've known men like him.

I had a good friend who was married for 20 years to an abusive piece of shit.
He finally came out after making her suffer more than any person should.

Karl Rove has probably caused more pain and suffering to gays & lesbians than almost any other person alive.

And he loved his gay father.
