When you have a little time to spare, treat yourself to the video from the Al Smith Dinner, a Catholic charitable event at which Sen.s McCain and Obama spoke. (Link goes to a Kuo & Joe blog post at Culture11 which contains 4 clips from the dinner.)
I agree with David Kuo:
“Watch these videos. They are extraordinary, truly extraordinary. We are ridiculously blessed to live in a country where two men who are fiercely opposed to one another are nevertheless able to set it aside for a night and laugh. It isn’t quite a miracle, but it is certainly a marvel. And if you have had to see countless political ads and three presidential debates, you owe it to yourself to watch these videos.”
McCain’s cracks about the Clintons are priceless (and hilarious), and Obama’s speech was funny from begining to end. Bravo to the very gifted writers who put both presentations together.
