Karl Rove begged Riordan to run. (I know because I worked on Riordan's campaign.) Rove is a slut, spreading his flabby legs for whomever he thinks will pay a dollar or two for his shitty advice. It sure was bad advise for Riordan...
Still, by admitting you worked for Riordan's campaign you do realize you've invited a flamethrower down the ol' fruit-of-the-looms, don't you?
Think I'll leave. This could get ugly.
