Semi-coherent conspiracy theory post about rigged elections on one of my political communities. I was willing to play along until I got to this sentence: I believe that's why Barack came as hard as he did in his speech tonight mentioning Karl Rove.

EEEEEWWWWWWWW.

I think someone's just envisioning a new OTP and doesn't want to admit it yet.

(Not you--the "author"!)

Not just a river in Egypt....

The squick is SO subjective. I instinctually recoiled--and yet I remembered that I actually wrote Obama/Keyes a few years back. (PG-13, though. Political slash is like Call of Cthulhu--the object is to hold on to your sanity as long as you can, though you know it's doomed.)

Obama/Keyes doesn't squick me like Obama/Rove -- Keyes actually sounds like a genteel madman who might be decent if he was deprogrammed. Rove, on the other hand, comes off like a soulless self-hating closet case in the mold of Roy Cohn.

Good point - there is some humanity there. All too much, arguably. Plus, to be totally shallow, Rove is much fuglier.
