Karl Rove's complex history

First we had the story (told by Rove) about being beaten up at age 9 by a "little Catholic girl" for a Nixon sticker on his bike, and now this. (It's one long paragraph, but worth a read.)

What sort of complex Freudian soup makes up Karl Rove? Beaten up by a little girl in pre-adolescence over politics, an emotionally absent mother, an adoptive father, a real father "who refused to acknowledge that Karl was his son," who is now alleged to be gay.

It's salacious, yes, but I'm mentioning this because this guy is THE top advisor to the president. To a large degree, he defines the policy and direction of this administration. Would a candidate Rove with this history have been elected by the people to make those decisions?
