VANITY FAIR got Karl Rove to tell us about himself. The questions are below, but most of the answers can be found at the Vanity Fair link. He says he most values in his friends honesty and loyalty. Apparently, his friend, George W Bush can be dishonest to the rest of us. The text below is from Vanity Fair.
