That book that haunts Rove

Oh what a tangle we weave....

Authors claim Rove lobbied to get Abramoff, 'gay stepdad' chapters removed from book

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.
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."
