WHAT"S NEW

In the market for a new home? How about Karl Rove's D.C. digs? According to The Reliable Source, Rove just put his Kent neighborhood brick-and-stone house on the market for a measly $1.585 million (he bought the pad for $799,000 eight years ago). It's five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths with several perks:
Real estate photos show sunny kitchen, big entertaining spaces, pleasant yard, lots of bookshelves, one wall-mounted deer head.
Rove's aide said he'll be moving to Texas, presumably to be closer to friends.
