Rove has the lawyer he deserves

How badly has Robert Luskin, Karl Rove's current attorney, screwed up Rove's public defense?

Josh Marshall directs us to the article by Ryan Lizza in the New Republic. Here is part of what she has to say:
"Over the last two weeks, Luskin has flummoxed Washington's Fourth Estate with spin and legalisms. He has embarrassed reporters who ran with the cleverly worded denials he dished out. He has contradicted himself, sometimes within the same news article. He may have accidentally paved the way for Matt Cooper's Wednesday grand jury testimony about Rove. In short, he has made life difficult for those summer associates. "Every day," says the lawyer involved in the case, "I have my associates put together a chronology of the things Luskin is saying about Karl Rove. He's just all over the place. Even in the last few days, they are not consistent."
With a record like that, how long will Luskin last?

Looks like Karl has the lawyer he deserves. Do you think Karl couldn't find a competent attorney who would take the case of a traitor to America?
