Both people quoted were at the senior levels of the Bush political operation. Good for them. That's their job.

an unnamed “Bush associate” was quoted as referring to Mr. Edwards as “the Breck Girl of politics.” Another Bush adviser, again unnamed, was quoted as saying of Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, “he looks French.” I remember that day fondly.
The "he looks French" was actually better humor-wise, being so succinct yet ridiculous.

The NYSlimes just loves to leak all sorts of secrets...ironic this time that their leak backfired against their chosen ones.

The term, “Breck Girl” has been used by Rush often and may have been invented by him.

Good for them. That's their job.Disraeli once described the manner of Bishop Wilberforce as “unctuous, oleaginous, saponaceous.” And the good prelate was ever afterward known as Soapy Sam. For every man there is something in the vocabulary that would stick to him like a second skin. His enemies have only to find it.— The Devil’s Dictionary.

This is so much like the New York Times...
The youtube video is 4 minutes 59 seconds, not two minutes as claimed in the story.
In trying to slam the White House staff with coming up with the name is laughable. “Everyone in America” would had labeled him the Breck girl after seeing the 5 minute video.
Oh, I’m sorry, it was the New York Times...

Keep in mind that Adam, the reporter on this story for the
Times, is the same guy that Bush referred to as an *sshole," and Cheney replied, "Big Time." Note that the reporter apparently does not read his own newspaper.
It was Maureen Dowd, Pulitzer-prize-winning columnist for the Times, despite the fact that she writes like an overly-hormonal teenaged girl, and dots her i's with little hearts, who popularized the phrase Breck Girl for John Edwards.
A competent reporter would have mentioned that. But that would have undercut the point of blaming this on Bush and his people. When it is political and printed in the Times, assume that it is dishonest. Start with the question of why they would lie about this particular point, and you may get at the truth,
