"In 1960, at the age of 9 years old, Rove decided to support Richard Nixon. According to Rove, 'There was a little girl across the street who was Catholic and found out I was for Nixon, and she was avidly for Kennedy. She put me down on the pavement and whaled on me and gave me a bloody nose. I lost my first political battle'."

1. Didn't even bother to finish the college degree he used to dodge the draft:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Rove#Education_and_Teaching2. Uses religion as a wedge, though he's a self-described agnostic who mocks Christian voters:

So three cheers for that "little girl across the street" - whoever she is - for showing us that KKKarl is nothing more than the archetype wimp who found the power he never had on his own, through a Faustian bargain with those who did.
He is the Wormtongue of BushCo:
