Mrs. Rove Joins the Republican Ex-Wives Club
Karl Rove can’t even keep his personal permanent majority together — he’s been granted a divorce from his 24-year marriage in “no-fault” Texas.
“Karl Rove and his wife, Darby, were granted a divorce last week,” said [“family spokeswoman” Dana] Perino. “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.”
Why yes, Karl’s a Defender of Marriage. Why do you ask?

So does that mean he’ll be Jeff Gannon’s date to the big ghey NYE bash in Palm Springs?
@SanFranLefty: Or maybe he was caught hiking the ol’ Appalachian Trail if you know what I mean ….
@blogenfreude: You mean she got tired of walking in on him being assfucked by Gannon dressed in an SS costume?
According to the fount of all knowledge:
No-fault divorce was pioneered by the Bolsheviks following the Russian Revolution of 1917.
Hmmmm…. well, well, comrade Rove. Bolshevism for thee, but not for me?
@FlyingChainSaw: “Squeal like the pig you are!”
ADD: Malawi is arresting gays who/whom/which/that marry on charges of “gross indecency”.
UPDATE: Greenwald notes that this is actually Rove’s second traditional divorce.
Twice a hypocrite.
@redmanlaw: “Oh, Herr Himmler! ‘Oink!’ ‘Oink,’ I say!”
What took her so long?
@Jamie Sommers: She was on the payroll. The first time she found Rove being tied face down on a crucifix and ass-fucked by the leadership of the DNC and the Southern Baptist Convention wearing SS uniforms, she ran for her life and was intercepted by Secret Service agents. Rove gave her an offer she couldn’t refuse: Stay married to him for a price or face a terrible accident and an obit with her name on it.
It’s like The War of the Roses for fugly people.
Just imagining that bloated, repulsive New Goebbels wheezing, huffing and puffing on top of you would be grounds for divorce and lifetime reparations.
@Original Andrew: No, “just imaging” it would be grounds for commitment. Suffering a moment of Rove’s grove would be grounds for lifetime reparations.
