Another right-wing ideologue who can't stay married. 2009 has seen a Republican trifecta: Karl Rove, Mark Sanford and Senator John Ensign....all hypocrites who rail against gay marriage while not being able to sustain their own marital relationships.
Bush family values guru, Karl Rove is divorced...for a second time!
Spokeswoman (*Dana Perino) said, "Karl Rove and his wife, Darby, were granted a divorce last week. 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."
Rove's previous marriage to a Houston socialite ended after a year.
Karl Rove is certainly not at fault here, right? The "gays" are (sic). This is further proof that the "gay" agenda is destroying "traditional" marriage, even among the most Republican of family-values .
Hey Karl..whatever happened to the "sanctity of marriage" and "DOMA"?
It just applies to everyone else...right? Not people like you.
in July 2004, Karl Rove launched the national Republican campaign against gay marriage within days of burying his gay father.

In what AFP called a "victory lap around the U.S. talk shows," Rove yesterday explicitly added a big item to Bush's avowed second term agenda.
Jim Drinkard writes in USA Today: "President Bush 'absolutely' will use his second term to push for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, his top political strategist said Sunday. Karl Rove, who oversaw Bush's re-election victory, said Bush will renew the effort, which failed in Congress this year but may enjoy new support after 11 states approved bans on same-sex marriage on Election Day."

WALLACE: All right. Let's talk about the president's second term and what he needs to do to satisfy and to build on the coalition of voters that gave him victory on Tuesday.
First of all, the social conservatives, the values voters, I know one of their top concerns is the definition of marriage. Given the fact that gay bans — bans on gay marriage were on the ballot in 11 states and passed in all 11, aren't the states handling this? Do you still need an amendment to the federal Constitution?
ROVE: Yes, because without the protection of that amendment, we are at the mercy of activist federal judges or activist state judges who could, without the involvement of the people, determine, as the Massachusetts Supreme Court did, that marriage no longer consists of a union between a man and a woman.
WALLACE: So the president intends to go ahead and push for the constitutional amendment?
ROVE: Absolutely.

ROVE: Well, marriage is a very important part of our culture and our society. If we want to have a hopeful and decent society, we ought to aim for the ideal. And the ideal is that marriage ought to be and should be a union of a man and a woman.
And we cannot allow activist judges to overturn that. We cannot allow activist local elected officials to thumb their nose at 5,000 years of human history and determine that marriage is something else.

Glenn Greenwald pointed out today on Twitter, Rove was happy to take advantage of Texas’s “loose, un-Christian no-fault divorce law” despite having railed against gay marriage precisely because it is not traditional or Christian.
This is Rove's second "traditional marriage" to end without death doing them part - his next one will be his third traditional marriage

*BTW...doesn't Dana Perino have a knack for hooking up with the worst of what America has to offer, the (real) dregs of society!
