The "dean" seems to be missing the mark

Washington Post columnist David Broder, the so-called dean of political reporters, whose writings occasionally appear in the Rockford Register Star, opined a few weeks ago that President Bush was on the brink of a comeback.

Well, it hasn't happened yet. In fact, Bush is trending the other way. Even Republicans are abandoning him in droves.

Broder seems to have slipped a bit in recent years. His recent column slamming the Democrats as anti-military was completely at odds with the facts and sounded like a pile of Limbaugh crapola.

Some critics have even suggested (perhaps cruelly, in some cases) that it's time for Broder to pack it in.
