I guess I saw it from a different angle than you did.

This:

"For the record, as Bush noted during the news conference, I have been covering him for many years, back to his first gubernatorial campaign. We have traded a good-natured barb or two over the years.

No insult taken to your haberdashery remarks, sir."

Read as humor to me while still drawing attention to the fact that the president was making inappropriate jokes about clothing amid such serious topics as the war in Iraq, the Israel/Lebanon crisis and hurricane Katrina.
