He and his wife of 23 years split. Can't say I blame her.

(CNN) - Karl Rove - the former top aide to President George W. Bush - and his wife, Darby, were granted a divorce last week, family friend Dana Perino confirmed to CNN.

"The couple came to the decision mutually and amicably, and they maintain a close relationship and a strong friendship. There will be no further comment and the family requests that its privacy be respected," Perino said in an e-mail to CNN.

The two were married in 1986 and have one son.

I don't think God will like this.

I always wondered who would want to wake up to "that" every morning.

I wonder what the last straw was. Or did she just finally wake up one morning and say to herself, "Wait a minute! I'm married to Karl Rove! Get me out of here!"

This was his SECOND marriage - and he chooses to deny others from having even one....

I realize the following comment is less than gracious. I also accept the karma entailed.

Karl Rove is plug ugly--inside and out.

Who wouldn't want to wake up to this every morning?

The thinning hair? The giant forehead?? The multitude of chins??

I would tap that in a hot second.

The evil black pit where a soul should be. So much to admire.

"Karl Rove is a free man???"

That's kind of unbelievable to me on a couple of levels.

Evidently Tiger Woods agrees with you.

Except it's not A man and A woman; it's ONE man and ONE woman. Karl Rove is still married to his first wives in the eyes of the Lord.

Karl referred to his dead gay stepdad as his father but apparently that relationship was not enough for him to really give pause over following the Lee Atwater line as a political operator against gay rights.
