Der Volkischer BeobachterThe Washington Post is just determined to keep up the appearance of the Great National Embarrassment being just a Joe Six-Pack kinda guy. Check out this line:
Queen Elizabeth did indeed provide the president and his entourage with superior accommodations at Buckingham Palace. But although the royal hospitality gave Bush a comfortable distance from the madding crowd, it introduced a new problem: Bush, a man with little patience for ceremony, had to endure the very pinnacle of pomp and pageantry -- a state visit to the United Kingdom.
"had to endure"...he would have thrown a hissy fit if he had not been treated this way. As much as the Rove/Fox Spin machine want everyone to forget the presidential triple that was never hit, he was in Midland between and after being in such reg'lar guy places like Andover, Yale and Harvard. Hell, he couldn't even get into the University of Texas on his own. So, no, sing me no sad songs about the Miserable Failures' stoic endurance...the only thing he needs to 'endure' is a Courts-Martial for Desertion.

I think you may have misread this one, Jo. My interpretation is "Bush has a low attention span and has trouble keeping still for very long, so this will be something of an endurance test for him."
