That reminds me of something a Clinton flack said at the end of his residency (I think it was DeeDee Myers): "Say what you will about him, but he certainly brought pizazz to the presidency". Kinda like describing an ugly person as 'having a nice personality'.
I guess they're just doing what they have to do.
No, Dee Dee! He brought pizza to the presidency! And left pizza and other stains all over the White House!
