Frederick, Md.: Dana, I was just wondering if you have a hard time keeping good sources after you write about them in unflattering ways, as you often do. Are there some sources who roll with it and understand that they're going to be on the wrong end of the stick sometimes, and then other sources who pettily refuse your phone calls for months? Seems like an occupational hazard of the humorous-yet-hard-hitting journalism you do. Dana Milbank: I have been able to get around this problem by having no sources. I do, however, have informants. You don't know who they are because I protect them by never writing about them.
