Janeane Garofalo doesn't believe the Rove affair story. |
|
She calls Karen Johnson a "beard." Apparently, Garofalo thinks Rove is gay. The affair story, which I'm skeptical of, is at: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/7/26/161729/354

3. I also do not believe it |
|
and resent the fact that every male-female friendship is viewed as sexual. Not all of them are please. I would have to see more evidence that Rove's relationship is more than friendship before I will buy that story. I am more inclined to believe the "Rove is gay" theory based on my personal experiences about some of his conduct, but even there, we have no real evidence about this other than unsubstantiated rumors.

4. I wonder what those with 'gay-dar' say about Rove - so far the |
|
reaction I have to the affair story is: ugh. The man is repulsive to his core.
No matter what his appearance, if he was a good guy, he'd be attractive.

9. My husband's gaydar went off when he saw Rove on TV |
|
For a robustly heterosexual man, he has a reliable gaydar.
I also spoke to someone from Austin last week who swears Rove is gay.

He even looks similar to Hoover IMO
He may not be *gay* but I bet he engages in sex with other males to feel dominant-or to be dominated, or whatever... He's just a weird nasty little man on a *God* trip.

5. Me too. Rove is looking to play the victim. That is how the nefarious |
|
always hide.
I would not be surprised if we see a good dozen of these canards. Then each one will be disproven and in the minds of the patsy's, they will just add Plame to the list and Rove will be as innocent as a daisy in their minds.
Of course I have no idea of the facts on this one. Neither does anybody else - except the people directly involved. And it seems there will be no reporters to bear witness to this.
So I say - leave it alone.

6. It's just a smokescreen to get us to talk about sex |
|
and not the real issue - his betrayal of our nation.
But the media won't bite. ;)

14. Yeah, but this doesn't have the pull'em in flare |

of say, a sitting president during peacetime. I think their attention is keenly focused on the outing story.

12. Karen Johnson is also the most wacko right winger in the AZ legislature. |
|
She wanted to put "In God We Trust" poster in every classroom.

First of all I'm going to hold Rove to the same standards I held Clinton. Who he's screwing is the business of him, his beloved and his wife--unless of course there's something criminal going on.
Since the woman in question appears to be of legal age and a member of the human race, I don't think it's anybody's business. This guy's screwing the country--that's where our focus should be.
Besides the image of Karl Rove, stark naked doing the horizontal bop with anyone--male or female--is so revolting as to interfere with the digestion process and cause nightmares to sensitive artistic types like me.

Or is the whole pack of Bush admin. males seem oddly...asexual?(and Condi, too. No hetero vibe. No lesbian vibe. Nothing. Same for Coulter and Malkin. Maybe it's a conservative disease. ) I'm female. And these guys don't set off my gaydar. But they sure don't set off any phernomes, either. They don't seem masculine. And I'm not talking macho or hunky or muscled up. Some of the most masculine men I know are slightly built. And intellectual. But there's a definite difference. But the Bush tribe just doesn't seem...anything. With Clinton, there's no doubt. Or Kennedy. They're raging horndogs. OK. I understand that...wouldn't want to be married to either. But, hey, at least I know what kind of guys they are. They like sex. Lots of sex. With women. But these Bush guys? Affairs? That would surprise me. They just don't seem to have the energy. Or the interest. They're kind of a cold, bloodless crowd. Maybe only money turns them on.

16. And I would agree with her COMPLETELY |

Edited on Tue Jul-26-05 09:07 PM by Carni
If anyone was doing the mambo with Rove it was Jeff Gannon--this affair with a *comely woman* (I think the blog actually referred to her as *comely*) is BULLSHIT! Rove is such a dweeby disgusting pig looking creature that an affair with a woman would actualy boost his popularity. I'm not buying it-

18. Just think of all the hope it would give to ugly fat guys. |

"I wanna grow up to be a conservative hatchet man and screw around with hot babes just like Karl Rove"
Karl Rove a hero to guys who can't get laid.

19. His appearance and personality are both so repugnant |
|
That an affair with anyone might be a bonus to his image.
It doesn't help that his wife looks like she could be his sister (or brother)

I can't believe he found any woman willing to have sex with him, much less have a long term affair while he's married to someone else. Ick.

Oh, poor Rove the liberals are trying to say he had an affair. Boohoo.
I say we focus on Plame and forget this crap.
