Surviving the summer with a sense of humor is a prerequisite for the Presidential Campaign. We've watched a lot of good Kossacks fail that test this last week. Here's CWalter's proof that he's doing just fine (from JonPowers recommended diary Four Years ago I was Leaving Iraq).
While no comments in dday's diary Elizabeth Edwards' Grace were better than her own oped tribute to Tony Snow, (pretty high bar to reach, I think), but Elizabeth Edwards is so profound... from mad ramblings of a sane woman was smart enough to quote Elizabeth. {BTW: Don't you think EE would love to use Mad's screen name?}.
Thank you TC's - I only get moments to read DailyKos and your work has become my nightcap. Take a well-earned bow for the whole Top Comments' team.

Ooh! Great comment on David Gregory's antipathy for Obama: I believe that was a snark by newdem1960
What if anything did the timing of Bush's press conference today have to do with Obama's previously scheduled speech? They probably thought they were by cato (FWIW - Brian Williams reported - on NBC Nightly News - that Bush chose that time to prevent cable outlets from covering the testimoy of the Fed Reserve Chief before Congress).
