Sunny Nobility, Me?

Yesterday, a friend said I was filled with "sunny nobility".

Given that this is the same phrase that Chris Matthews uttered about President Bush on MSNBC's Hardball last October, this gave me pause. What did he mean exactly and why did it make me feel a little ill?

(Note: The fact that I went home sick from work later that afternoon had nothing to do with this. Stupid flu bug going around.)
