"Is there any humanity in either of these guys?"

Regardless your thoughts on McClellan/his bookish motivations, the focus here is not on him, but on Letterman's affirmed awesomeness: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/12/david-letterman-dick-chen_n_106753.html

LETTERMAN: My feeling about Cheney and also Bush, but especially Cheney, is he just couldn't care less about Americans. And that the same is true of George Bush. And all they really want to do is somehow kiss up to the oil people so they can get some great annuity when they're out of office. "There you go, Dick, nice job. There's a couple of billion for your troubles." (applause) I mean, he pretty much put Halliburton in business, and the outsourcing of the military resources to private mercenary groups, and so forth. Is there any humanity in either of these guys?

McCLELLAN: Look, I still have personal affection for the president. I can't speak to the vice president's thinking that well because he's someone that keeps things himself and he believes in doing it his way, and he doesn't care what anybody else thinks. He is going to do what he feels is best and that's not always in the best interests of the country. As we've seen.

This is mostly encouraging--in particular, the bit about McCain's support dropping ten points in the last three months. Now, if we can just sway some o' them suburban white women Obamaward--'cause they've def got it in them, a number having endorsed Hillary in the primaries... I don't know though, I really do think that once Hillary's termination settles out and regrouping is complete, this demographic will (largely) unite in favor of O over M. The latter is just too, too dismal a prospect, and it's only a matter of time before it's more widely acknowledged among these women.

This is/was just plain awesome:

Last w/e in STL w/ N & D & little K: beers, babes, and blistering heat. Wheee!
