'Sleepless summed it up exactly.

'"He did the right thing by going. It's a shame that he felt like he needed to milk it for the publicity."'

and:

'3. I dislike Bush, but I also believe that most any of the presidents that I can remember (starting with FDR) would have been unable to keep from using this trip as a publicity device. That doesn't make it less contemptible.'
