Reply #70: Rove...

I dunno. Kimberlin's story is that he "bumped into" Rove at a store and K had charming words with Karl and Darby Rove and he asked that his picture be taken with Rove & Kimberlin's daughter.

If it'd been me, I'd have put my daughter behind me and covered her eyes and shielded her from ghastly greusome Rove. Kimberlin held her against Rove as if he were a dear uncle, and smiled. Gack.

Kimberlin took close-up pics of Rove's car in the parking lot (guess Rove didn't have Security- amazing that a convicted domestic terrorist serial-bomber can walk up and take multiple close-up photos of the vehicle). What an odd thing to do: take photos of someone's car & license plate. If I were a convicted domestic terrorist serial bomber on probation, I wouldn't do such a strange thing.

All these photos were posted (along with Kimberlin's snooping at Rove's shopping list of butter and rootbeer) on Kimberlin's website (co-founded and partnered with Brad Freidman- VelvetRevolution), with seeming glee, as if they were meaningful in some way. Personally, I think they're stupid and juvenile.

As for the Quayle bit, I don't think anybody on the face of the earth takes Kimberlin's story seriously. He has been found to be a relentless "liar", "manipulator", "a top-flight con man", "a fairly typical hustler who learned how to con long before he became a convict", "a man whose idea of the truth is utterly malleable. Kimberlin, it becomes clear, never encountered a situation that he couldn't somehow exploit for gain." The story does not pan out in any way.
