Petty press habits persist, despite the national crisis. Even on the national day of mourning, some journalists continued their sniping at President Bush, judging him primarily by the style rather than the content of his message.

"Bush has yet to find a note of eloquence in his own voice. He is, in fact, distrustful of it, and went for Texas plain talk, rhetoric as flat as the prairie and as blunt as a Clint Eastwood soliloquy," wrote Newsweek's Howard Fineman, later noting, "he did not look larger than life at his Oval Office desk, or even particularly comfortable there, and he cited Psalms without the kind of emotional resonance voter-viewers have come to expect from an Empathizer in Chief."

Give the average American "Clint Eastwood" plain talk anytime! Speaking of out of touch, the media types don't seem to have a clue that most Americans don't want some elite speaking "anchorman" type for a President at a time like this!
They seem to have forgotten how popular John Wayne was in this nation! LOL
