I tried to watch the PBS/Chicago Tonight interview with Karl Rove, I really did. After all, in this fractious political atmosphere I should try to learn from others who feel differently than I do. Sincere, serious, patriotic dyed-in-the-wool conservatives may not be able to change my mind, but it may be valuable to learn why they feel the way do. And Chicago Tonight is a good, reasonable and fair platform.But listening to Rove try to square the circle between his likely/possibly gay father's lifestyle and his own exploitation and politicization of gay marriage made me want to puke. It sounds just as insincere and cynical coming from his own lips as it did when I considered his motives from a distance.
So I turned it off a few minutes in.
It's well known that if Rove's mouth is moving, he's lying so you didn't miss one thing. I would totally listen to a true conservative but a neocon? Wouldn't give them the time of day on a bet. Possibly spitting would be involved but that's not very love and light, is it?
