NYTimes.com: Bush in London With a Message for Critics

"Mr. Bush's schedule is dominated by the kind of pomp he typically disdains, most notably an official welcome ceremony with Queen Elizabeth on Wednesday morning and a state dinner on Wednesday night, where he will wear tails (which, he was quick to point out to several interviewers last week, he had to rent)."

Is this kinda hogwash believable? Does anyone really believe that Bush can't buy a tux? The USA sends 250 secret servicement to the UK for a state visit and the US President has to rent a tux?
