Is Karl Rove bisexual? We expand on yesterday’s report of his rant on Fox News, with an excerpt from today’s in-depth interview with Roger Shuler, our Deep South correspondent in Alabama    The cause of Rove’s stress is Robert Bauer, an attorney for the Obama campaign who is pressing Rove’s Crossroads GPS to reveal its donors.  Rove falsely accused Bauer of links to Jill Simpson, who worked for Rove in Alabama and blew the whistle on Rove’s plan to railroad former Dem. Governor Don Siegelman into prison.
