[Chiefly Musing] I think she underestimates exactly how hostile the press has become with President Bush, and accordingly underestimates how difficult that makes it for his administration to get the message out about the economy.  Additionally, there’s pretty much zero chance the next storyline on the personnel changes in the administration will be positive, yet she still offers it as a possibility.  I’ve noticed that she has somewhat lost touch with broader perspectives in thinking her own views are popularly held.

The result of the assignment was a foregone conclusion--and in fact the 911 Commission reported that Wilson, knowing that Saddam had indeed made overtures to Niger, lied in his report and said the opposite.
