To answer the question - I would say it is because of intelligence!!!
IMO it would be appalling to think President Bush read the newspaper! As for First Lady Laura Bush reading and relaying info to President Bush, I can just imagine the rolled eyes, shaking of the head and the smiles knowing the media will have to eat their words on many pieces. Or just spin some more!!!!!
