Yeah that's pretty lousy of W, and smacks of insecurity and the need to one-up people.
By contrast, I was invited to a friend's birthday party, which was hosted by an exceptionally wealthy friend of my friend. He rented out Le Cirque on 58th for the evening and it was open bar and restaurant. Overwhelmed by opulence, I tried to buy the host a drink, and he very politely declined, but agreed to a raincheck.
"What's up with John?" I asked my friend. "He won't let me buy him a drink."
"Yost, relax, keep your money" he replied. "He just made three million dollars this afternoon. He's in a generous mood."
