A Sad Day for Turdblossom

Karl Rove's 24-year-long (second) marriage has come to an end. Hey, Darby: if you can't make it work with Mr. Wonderful, who is gonna make you happy? Just saying. There's no pleasing some people!

Meanwhile, in seemingly unrelated news, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins have ended their 23-year-long relationship. If only they had tied the knot, it might have lasted that magical extra one year longer.

Make your move fast, Karl, before Susan gets bogged down in another decades long relationship. And Darby: I hear Sean Penn is now single too. Double date?:

(CNN) - Karl Rove - the former top aide to President George W. Bush - and his wife, Darby, were granted a divorce last week, family friend Dana Perino confirmed to CNN.

"The couple came to the decision mutually and amicably, and they maintain a close relationship and a strong friendship. There will be no further comment and the family requests that its privacy be respected," Perino said in an e-mail to CNN.

The two were married in 1986 and have one son.
