Manhattan Offender

Separated at birth: Perez Hilton and Karl Rove

Maybe it's just that they both sport "gay face", but it seems that Perez Hilton is slowly morphing into Karl Rove. 

Before listing me in the Perez haters column, don't.  Although it's lowest common denominator, his "body of work" has been consistent over the years.  He's exhibited sheer tenacity in becoming a media voice, and his ability to rise above constant derision is of note.  So, yes, I sort of like Perez.  Even if he is going Rove.

(Full disclosure department:  One of my house-mates this coming summer was Perez' college roommate, but that really has no influence on this at all.)
