On Saturday, RAW STORY reported that The Architect: Karl Rove and the Master Plan for Absolute Power written by Austin-based journalist James Moore and senior Dallas Morning News political reporter Wayne Slater would reveal that Rove's step-father, Louis Rove, divorced his mother and lived the rest of his adult life as an openly gay man. "Slater tells us that Rove, who obtained an early galley of the Crown book, had an intermediary press the authors to leave out the section about his father," according to the Daily Dish gossip page in Wednesday's NY Daily News. "We told him we have a couple of sources on that," Slater told the paper. "We haven't heard anything since." The author also claims that "Rove himself called daily — 'one day, six times' — to lobby against a chapter about his connection with indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff." Excerpts from article: # The book quotes Marc Schwartz, an operative for Texas' Tigua Indian tribe, as witnessing a scene where Rove walked up to Abramoff's limo a few blocks from the White House. Schwartz says Abramoff explained that Rove arranged the sidewalk pow-wow to avoid entering a visit or phone calls in White House logs, and besides, "he's a fat f—, and he can use the exercise." Schwartz claims Rove enlisted Abramoff to get "the fireman," Tom DeLay, to "clamp down" on a House member "who was not cooperating on a piece of legislation." "Karl is very upset," says Slater. "He says [that meeting] was an accidental encounter. That's a bunch of junk." Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
