Notice all the wishful thinking.
I count at LEAST 11 "impeccable sources"
Impeccable source #1: his associates say
Impeccable source #2: a political friend of Bush
Impeccable source #3: some junior staffers
Impeccable source #4: said a source with close ties
Impeccable source #5: Presidential advisers and friends
Impeccable source #6: sources say
Impeccable source #7: one Bush insider
Impeccable source #8: associates
Impeccable source #9: a sympathetic official
Impeccable source #10: senior Bush loyalist
Impeccable source #11: another key adviser
