Karl Rove's gay affair?! With an Arabic-named dude?!

[KingOrfeo]

No, seriously.

Karl Rove is having a bisexual affair with the president of a conservative bloggers' group, and concern about being outed sparked Rove's falsehood-filled diatribe last week on Greta Van Susteren's Fox News program.

Rove's lover is Ali Akbar, president of the National Bloggers Club, an umbrella group that grew from the activism of the late right-wing publisher and pundit Andrew Breitbart. A left-leaning Web site called Breitbart Unmasked recently disclosed that Akbar has a criminal record that includes convictions for credit-card fraud, theft, and burglary.

The stunning allegations about Rove and Akbar are included in a letter sent yesterday from Alabama attorney Dana Jill Simpson to Robert Bauer, counsel for President Barack Obama's 2012 re-election campaign. The letter also includes an appeal for a presidential pardon on behalf of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman.

Rove, appearing with Van Susteren on the June 20 edition of On the Record, took a question about the tax-exempt status of certain PACs and turned it into an attack on Simpson, Bauer, and Siegelman--who was the target of perhaps the most notorious political prosecution in U.S. history.

Simpson, a former GOP operative, is best known as a whistleblower in the Siegelman case. She has stated under oath and testified before Congress that she participated in a telephone conference call with prominent Alabama Republicans who discussed plans to bring bogus criminal charges against Siegelman, apparently with Rove's approval.

Rove told Van Susteren that Bauer represented Simpson in her 2007 testimony before Congress and that Simpson did not testify under oath. It's a matter of public record that Simpson made sworn statements about the Siegelman prosecution on multiple occasions. And Simpson included in her letter to Bauer yesterday an affidavit stating that he has never represented her, and the two have never met. (See the affidavit and letter at the end of this post.) Bauer has sent a letter to Rove demanding a retraction, according to a report in Huffington Post.

Why would Rove become so wildly disengaged from the truth, on a national television program where he was asked a question that had nothing to do with Jill Simpson? The Alabama lawyer says in her letter to Bauer that Rove became unhinged because he knew she had damaging information about his personal life--and it soon might become public knowledge.

Now, this story is not from a major media outlet, it's from a website called Legal Schnauzer. But the story seems pretty well documented -- there's even a scanned copy of Simpson's letter to Bauer. So I guess it all comes down to how trustworthy Simpson is.

More on Rove's rant on Fox.

And the story about Akbar's criminal record. There's a mugshot of him -- dude's young and not too hideous. The most amazing thing about this story is, how did Rove manage it?! Gay/bi dudes of the Lit -- come on, be honest, would you touch him?! Even if you're a chubby-chaser?!

No way! Seriously?

I wondered why they were calling it FudgePAC.

 

[KingOrfeo]

Well, I didn't make it up. As I say, it all comes down to this Dana Jill Simpson.

I assume Legal Schnauser is an alternative news source. Haven't heard of it but there's a lot of good alternative news sources.

Would Barack Obama let Larry Sinclair suck his dick in the back of a limo?

[shrug] I dunno. Would you? If Sinclair paid for the limo?

So nobody liked my "FudgePAC" joke? I thought that was pretty good.

I fucked him. He squealed like a pig.

Of course, if Simpson is lying, then Karl Rove is the victim of a false and malicious rumor, meant to undermine his reputation, that now will spread virally and unstoppably through the blogosphere and by email-spam.

That happening to Karl Rove, of all people . . .

Goodness, how delicious!

Actually, I believe the current phrase is now, "squealed like a Rove."

So many Karl's, so little time!

Some right wing moron will probably come in here talking about Obama instead of the topic about their hero gobbling terrorist knobs!

I would almost bet my house on it.
