One-hit wonder?

Q

Meredith Whitney, the banking analyst who is predicting massive defaults, is like Nouriel Roubini (the economics professor): She got one call right — just one — and now she thinks she’s a genius and an expert on everything. She’s better than Roubini, but that’s like saying the 1963 Mets were better than the 1962 Mets.

You are right on the money, but Casey and the ’62 Mets were a lot more fun.
