It looks to me from pic #2 that you actually bent the steering tube where it goes into the crown. The pictures don't show a side-on view of the whole fork, so it's hard to tell by the pictures - but the steering tube is the thickest tube in the frameset, and it's not likely to be able to be straightened by benging on the fork... IF the crown were not bent itself, and IF the fork tines were similarly not bent, you could have a framebuilder braze in a new sterring tube. Man, those are two big IFs. A framebuilder would be good to ask such questions. I wonder how your lower headset seat is doing, too.
Bummer.
