Sorry you find it sickening.

One man's "media hog" is anothers "leading with style". Just as guns, war, and diplomacy can be used for good and evil ends, so can the media.

To my view, it is fitting and proper, and in America's best interest, that W. lead, in a publicly visible manner, using the media to gain the support of as many as possible.

It was, and is, disgusting and improper, and harmful to America, that Clinton abuse his office and station, to use the media to flaunt his sick, inflated ego.

I am not faulting Bush on this, just the way that some in the press are portraying it. It has been that way ever since W landed on the carrier. Even when they are being overall positive, there is an under layer of snottiness, as if W's day consists only of posing for photos. I know that what ever he does, the media will try to tear it down, but it still doesn't stop it from being sickening.
