I am talking about the way the media makes it sound when W has his picture taken. It brings to mind some of the articles about Laura Bush, shortly after the Bushes were in the White House. Some of them were overall positive, but there were subtle little undercurrents of snottiness thrown in.
You are quite right. I was being a little sarcastic towards Ms. Bumiller.
Since Gannett took over our local paper, I rarely see a picture of President Bush in it, and when I do, it is either the size of a postage stamp or it is an ugly freeze frame from a video capture. I know what they are up to and it makes me angry.
