Oh, you won't get it - it's a Brit thing. The new, rather marvellous series of Doctor Who had a Christmas Special. In it, the inimitable doctor boasted he could bring down the Prime Minister with six little words. And he whispered to one of her colleages: "Don't you think she looks tired?"
Within a week, of course, rumours were circulating about her resignation from ill health.
Of course, LJ-ers picked this up and "Don't you think Bush looks tired?" started appearing on journals, but being LJ-ers they kept it enigmatic, knowing that not everyone would have seen the programme. Poor America has not been sold the show so you had no chance.
Hope you aren't looking (or feeling) tired my friend. I've just survived a nasty bout of gastric flu and am off to the States on MONDAY! What joy!

If you ever get farther in -- say c. 2,000 miles -- my wife & I would be delighted to put you up, even a granddaughter, too.
