The authors of a new book claim that Karl Rove lobbied to get chapters
removed which alleged that President Bush's chief political adviser held
streetcorner meetings with fallen superlobbyist Jack Abramoff, knowing
that all visits and phones calls to the White House were logged, and that
his stepdad was gay.
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."

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."

"All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a
philosopher." - Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)
Don't ask about caste or riches but instead ask about conduct. Look
at the flames of a fire. Where do they come from? From a piece of
wood"and it doesn't matter what wood. In the same way, a wise
person can come from wood of any sort. It is through firmness and
restraint and a sense of truth that one becomes noble, not through
caste. -Sutta Nipata
