Karl Rove granted divorce in Texas
Source: Politico

Karl Rove, former senior adviser to President George W. Bush, has been granted a divorce in Texas after 24 years of marriage, family spokeswoman Dana Perino said.


“Karl Rove and his wife, Darby, were granted a divorce last week," said 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.”

The Roves were married in January 1986.

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.”

Rove’s 608-page memoir, “Courage and Consequence: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight,” is due out from Simon & Schuster’s Threshold Editions on March 9.

The party of family values continues its assault on family values.

1. I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea that he asked first
"that request came from his wife..." seems more operative with him.

6. I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea that some woman would actually marry him.
I thought I heard he was gay.

5. So when do Karl and Jeff Gannon plan to move in together?
I'm sure they can go back to DC which now allows same-sex marriage.

22. Karl Rove doesn't seem straight to me.
I'm honestly surprised anyone would "do" him without being paid.

24. I loath Karl Rove but I am not going to dance on the grave of his marriage.
Divorce is generally a sad thing particularly for the kids - I understand there is one son.

25. Isn't all the stress over at this point?
Well, unless you count being married to a turd blossom.

Why, why, why....I wonder.

So he doesn't need his wife anymore. All I can say is to Karl. Anything else fails me.
