Karl Rove Divorces Wife

Karl Rove, former right-hand man to President George W. Bush, and his wife of 24 years, Darby, are going their separate ways. They were granted a divorce in Texas last week, according to family spokesperson Dana Perino (also a Bush White House veteran), who said: "The couple came to the decision mutually and amicably, and they maintain a close relationship and a strong friendship." The two still spent Christmas as a family with their son, and a friend says that "they plan to spend time together in the future."
