59% Of Women In US Would Rather Have Sex With A Gorilla Than Karl Rove

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove was deemed less sexually appealing than a gorilla, Subway spokesman Jared Fogle, Gilbert Gottfried and a donkey by a majority of American women in a survey taken by Reuters last week.

The only living creature considered to be a less palatable sex partner than Rove was a great white shark, with respondents preferring George W. Bush's hatchetman by a 22% margin over the ferocious, bloodthirsty fish.

"If faced with a choice between having sex with a great white and Karl Rove, I could think of a lot of less terrible ways of killing myself than being fucked to death or eaten by a shark," remarked one woman.

Also regarded as less objectionable to copulating with the corpulent political advisor was Pac Man Jones, the certifiably insane ex-record producer Phil Spector, Don Imus, the huge fat guy from the Borat movie, and Kurt Vonnegut, who passed away in April.

"I'm not sure if a gorilla has a soul, and Kurt Vonnegut's has left his body, but I'm positive that Rove never even had one, and that's a real sticking point for me. Also, I loved 'Breakfast of Champions'," replied another poll taker, rationalizing her sexual preference for either a 400 pound primate or a three month-old corpse over Rove.

According to the survey, even serial killer Charles Manson rated higher as a potential sex partner.

"Sure, Manson might be evil, but at least he's not a straight-out dork. Rove is both, and that's just not hot. Not hot at all."
