Bush has been somewhat milder than the more rabid Congresscritters, but some of that's just the basic Bell Curve plus media behavior - with 500+ of them, you'd expect the more extreme to sound fairly extremist, and you'd expect the media to cover the extremists.
Actually the media behavior in this case isn't that terrible. We're pretty much talking to the same folks we usually do. Look at the guests on yesterday's AM shows: Armey, McCain, Gephardt, Cabinet members. These same folks go on every week. -Declan
