Because those two little letters mean so much; like calling us by our right names. Froomkin called Politico's interview with Turd Blossom "predictably fawning", so I had to go read it, and amidst the teabagging found this:

Q.What are you doing differently in your job, substantively or stylistically, in 2007 compared with 2006, before the election?

A.The entire White House is spending a lot more time talking to the Hill and a lot more time seeking feedback and giving them the time that they want. It's not that they didn't want to talk to us before. But I think there's a desire for them to talk to us more now. I think they want to be able to test whether or not we're serious about working together by spending more time talking about whether or not we're going to work together. A lot of that is done by other people, but the entire White House finds itself in a place where we're supporting that process more than we might have in the past. I have, sitting on my desk, a letter to me from a Democrat member asking me to look into a specific issue. Why this member feels comfortable saying, Here's something that I want you to look into, I can't speak to. But I'm glad that she feels that she can say: "I'd like you to look into this. I think we can find a way to work together. I'm having a dialogue with common interlocutors. You can ascertain from them that I'm serious about this. Let's see if we can't work together on this issue."

They just can't help themselves, can they?
