He does do a nice job when dealing with Dem sources - they talk to him, he gets it right, and he writes well - but I do have to question what kind of access he would have to people in the administration - "senior officials" - who weren't already constantly looking to rip Bush a new one. After all, Nelson would be a great one to talk to if you wanted to get Bush. I can't see him having close friends in the WH aside from those types, and I'm not sure I'd believe one of them saying such things.

I suspect his accuracy at least rivals that of your recollection -- be that as it may, there is obviously a difference between making economic predictions and relating what sources are telling you.
But you are very consistent. Any bad news re Iraq, and you question the messenger.
