Texas tales in Karl Rove's memoir likely to raise a few questions, eyebrows
Rove writes about the time Democrat John Sharp tried to hire him in the 1998 lieutenant governor’s race against Republican Rick Perry.
“Craziest thing I’ve ever heard of,” Sharp said this week.
In his book, Rove recounts how San Marcos auto dealer Chuck Nash acted as an intermediary with a job offer during a Wildlife Expo dinner. “Nash sidled up to me during the pre-dinner mob scene to talk politics,” Rove writes. “Sharp admired my talents, he said, and wanted my help in his campaign. He could pay me $1 million and it would be funneled through a media firm as part of the advertising buy so no one would know.”
Rove says when he saw Sharp later that night, the Democrat suggested they “find a way to work together” — something that both Sharp and Nash say never happened.

Maybe what he really needs is a good psychiatrist.
