Clinton-era White House staffer calls it perfect pairing

Washington -- Karl Rove's greatest defender in Washington these days is a Democratic lawyer and onetime newspaper reporter named Robert Luskin. He is Rove's attorney in the high-stakes CIA leak case, and is widely credited with sparing his client from indictment so far.

But perhaps more intriguing is Luskin's other role. He plays the Anti-Rove.

Just look at the guy: Luskin, 55, wears a gold hoop earring and Euro-hip eyeglasses. He's buff and bald. (But bald in a good way.) He rides a black Ducati Monster motorcycle, which its maker touts as the bike of choice of "top designers" and "Hollywood stars." In his office he spins the CDs of anti-war balladeer Steve Earle and ex-Replacements singer Paul Westerberg.

Rove, the pudgy uber-operative also known as "Bush's Brain," helped put a brush-clearing conservative Christian into the White House by bad-mouthing the liberal elites of this world -- people just like Luskin.

I guess I missed the part where they had any examples of this 'bad-mouthing'. How old is this guy? It reads like an article in a school newspaper.
