W shares a cosy campfire with the press

BL blogger is reading Personal History, Katharine Graham's illuminating memoir of life at the Washington Post. It seems incredible today, but during the 1964 Presidential race, Graham, then publisher of the Washington Post, hung out with LBJ at his ranch in Texas for several days. Before returning to Washington to oversee the Post's campaign coverage, she told the President she supported him and would contribute to his campaign.
By comparison, Bush's recent pool party for the Crawford press corps, described here by the Washington Post's Dan Froomkin, seems positively proper and above-board.
