"But, then, almost anyone who wanted to could take Nieztche and interpret him to support whatever philosophy they were espousing."

That's certainly the truth. Nietzsche has even served the cause of feminist theory, despite his strange views about women("Thou goest to woman? Forget not thy whip!"). I think it's because he seems to sanction any form of passionate self-assurance that makes any means justify the egotistical end. But then he said so many paradoxical and self-contradictory things that it's hard to make a general statement about him. I like the way that Chekhov poked fun at Nietzsche through one of his characters. ("Nietzsche says that a truly great man may steal what he wants, and he was a great philosopher--one of the very greatest.")
