I am posting this because I find it so humorous that a man who's entire history has been consumed with lies, dirty tricks, the illegal collection of information to use against his enemies the demand of favors and threat of retaliation. Basically one of the most evil men to ever live and truly deserving of the title COMPLETE LUNATIC.

Here is the article. Take a moment to read it and you decide.

Rove calls accuser 'complete lunatic'
By BEN EVANS
The Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- Karl Rove says a one-time Republican campaign worker who has accused him of dirty tricks against a former Alabama governor is a "complete lunatic," and he calls CBS a "shoddy operation" for airing her allegations.

Rove, President Bush's former political guru, says in an interview with GQ magazine that he has never met Jill Simpson, an Alabama attorney and GOP campaign volunteer who has said that Rove tried to sabotage Democratic Gov. Don Siegelman's career.

"She's a complete lunatic," Rove is quoted as saying. "This woman was not involved in any campaign in which I was involved. I have yet to find anybody who knows her."

Kevin Tedesco, a CBS spokesman, said 60 Minutes stands by the story and will report on it further Sunday with an interview with Siegelman, who was recently released from prison while his corruption conviction is on appeal. Tedesco said Siegelman would challenge Rove to testify under oath.

Simpson's attorney, meanwhile, said she would ask GQ to retract Rove's remarks and apologize to Simpson.

In the original 60 Minutes broadcast in February, Simpson said Rove asked her to try to find evidence that Siegelman was cheating on his wife. She said it wasn't the first time that Rove, who was heavily involved in Alabama politics before moving to Washington, had asked her to find dirt on Democratic politicians.

Siegelman was elected in 1998 and narrowly lost re-election in 2002.

After a years-long investigation, Siegelman was convicted in June 2006 on bribery-related and obstruction charges. He was sentenced last year to more than seven years in prison. The case stemmed from his appointment of former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy to an influential hospital regulatory board in exchange for Scrushy arranging contributions to Siegelman's campaign for a state lottery.
