KARL Rove and Ken Mehlman.
Ken Mehlman? Is Karl Rove a case of like father, like son? Karl Rove’s father, Louis had informed his wife that he was gay and that he was coming out of the closet and wanted a divorce. Later, Karl’s mother, Reba Louise, drops out of his life, drives “out to the desert north of Reno and filled the car with carbon monoxide, and then left all of her five children a letter saying, don’t blame yourselves for this.” This sad set of events may have set the stage for Rove’s mistrust for women. Perhaps the apple does not fall far from the tree.
