Karl Rove's Affair

The Rove-Plame affair takes a new twist, with news that Karl "Family Values" Rove (married with a teenage son) has been having a real, long-time affair with lobbyist Karen Johnson, a never-married, forty-something GOP loyalist from Austin, Texas. Radar Online quotes one Texas reporter saying:

I've heard the stories, but I would never write about Karl and Karen. If you want to keep your job as a reporter in Texas, you make believe you don't see them together.

Now Kos has just finished interviewing "a long-time Texas political writer in Austin who says that Rove is absolutely having an affair with Karen".

I'm not one to sling mud unnecessarily, but isn't it funny how the people most likely to push their "values" on others are always the most likely to be hypocritical scum? Rove and his minions recently "outed" a gay reporter who dared write about the flagging morale of American troops in Iraq. I'd say that makes him "fair game".
