too good to be true
"Karl Rove's father was not only gay, but a part of the early body piercing scene and a regular at 70s piercing parties... There are pictures of him on BME". So says the afore-linked BoingBoing article which I found through Susie Bright's blog; a more thorough (and graphic - not safe for work, and might squick those who are bothered by body piercing) essay at BMEZine has more.
This amuses me. Not because I think there's anything wrong with being gay or being into body art, or that I assume that kids must be exactly like their parents (in my experience, the fruit can fall VERY far from the tree). But still. Karl Rove's dad. In my admittedly biased opinion, Rove Sr. had more cause to be embarrassed by his son than the other way around.
