Karl Rove's carriage house in Rosemary Beach, Florida. Only the carriage house is visible from the street; the house proper lies behind it.

Rosemary Beach, Florida bills itself as a vacation community, but Rove's home is no beach bungalow. His Dill Lane pad is a 2,578-square-foot cedar and white stucco structure with a stoop, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and an outdoor shower. Opposite the main house, separated by a small walled courtyard, is a two-story carriage house with a two-car garage on the ground floor.

For the locals, Rove’s short visits, which are becoming ever more frequent, have already left their mark. Some point to the increased media interest in the locale and the constant stream of reporters that make their way through the small town looking for information on Rove.

None would give his or her name for the record. One waitress who works at Bud & Alley’s restaurant downtown, said she's seen Rove and his guests sequestered in the large downstairs area of the popular eatery. Saying she was happy not to have been his server, she quipped, “I would have told him what I thought of him and gotten fired.”

Rove has himself left his mark with the local police. In September of 2007 he was caught speeding in a posted municipal zone. According to Walton County public records, his fine was $83 dollars, which he paid in full, and promptly.

1. "I would have told him what I thought of him and gotten fired"

:rofl:

4. Can't imagine why waitresses hate him.. from the shitty tipper database:

Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $256.66 / $10.00 / 3%
What happened:What a pompous asshole. He spilled bouillabaisse all over me then told me to go clean myself up. When I returned with dessert, he was literally licking his bowl like a dog. Yeah, great tipper, Karl.

5. Cons have nothing but contempt for working people

Not surprising at all.

2. Hmmm, I wonder if the neighbors feel the same way?

I guess he doesn't care, but it would bother ME if my neighbors & the local waitresses hated me!

3. I'm sure he's desensitized himself to the fact that he's hated by many no matter where he goes

People like Rove actually get a big laugh out of the fact that people hate him. That's part of the reward.
