Broder is only tossing it at the wall to see what sticks. Washington Week in Review hasn't wanted him in years. The end of Germond-Witcover has made Broder the LEAST interesting columnist extant. What's to lose?

Broder has never been particularly interesting or insightful. He has, however, been the bellwhether for "Beltway conventional wisdom" throughout his career. Whatever he writes, you can bet there are a good number of the DC movers and shakers thinking it.
I don't know about this column. Sure, Bush's numbers will rise, barring dramatic events. He's been around historical lows, which also tend to occur around the sixth year for two-term Presidents, so some recovery is natural.
As to his political skills, Bush hasn't had to deal with Democratic control of both House and Senate in this Administration. The only term of Democratic control was one in the Senate, by the narrowest of margins, so the political dynamics have been entirely different. Bill Clinton could tell stories about the difference between dealing with a headstrong Congress of your own party pulling in its own directions and dealing with hostile opposition majorities.
But Bush's skills in that regard ARE known from Texas, where he faced Democratic majorities. Of course, to Beltway birds like Broder, if it didn't happen in DC, it didn't happen.
