An intense 49-year-old Arkansas lawyer for whom a blue blazer passes as casual attire, Lindsey serves as the invisible "captain of the defense," as one former White House colleague put it, for the crisis of the moment. Lindsey's preferred modus operandi, as described by those who have worked with him over the years, is to tamp down trouble even before it erupts or, when pressed, to relinquish only whatever tiny morsels of information he judges sufficient to keep the news media at bay.
Whether the allegations involve the draft, sexual liaisons or Whitewater, Lindsey functions as the president's political lookout, bearer of bad news and chief damage control specialist.
"There is no end to which Bruce wouldn't go for the president," said Bill Burton, a fellow Arkansan and former White House colleague. "There are things Bruce would do for the president that nobody else on Earth would do, and Bruce wouldn't even think twice about it."
The bag/body man.
I had forgotten about the tidbit thing; so, going by that, this thing must be HUGE!
