Does this confirm what they say about a leopard never changes it's spots?

In the fall of 1970, at the age of 19, Karl Rove used a false identity to enter the campaign office of Democrat Alan J. Dixon, who was running for Illinois State Treasurer, and stole 1000 sheets of paper with campaign letterhead.

Rove then printed fake campaign rally fliers promising "free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing", and distributed them at rock concerts and homeless shelters, with the effect of disrupting Dixon's rally (Dixon eventually won the election). Rove's role would not become publicly known until August 1973.

How can someone of such dubious character even be in the White House to begin with?

    After Rove stole the election for president of College Republicans, he came to the attention of George H W Bush, who wanted to meet this clever young man. Rove became a gopher for George senior and met junior when he picked him up at a train station.

    "How can someone of such dubious character even be in the White House" Rove helped put George W Bush in office, and he helped him win reelection. That's the only character quality that counts.

    He also dropped out of College after he got his draft deferment, went to work for Bush Sr. at the RNC and some how kept his deferment. Curious........

    I think you are smoking something that is causing permanent damage to your brain. I bet you mother wasn't even born yet in 1970. Go back to bed, it's past your bedtime
