Funny stuff last night at the Al Smith charity event in New York.

John McCain and Barack Obama exchanged pleasantries and playful insults, and even poked fun at themselves.

I particularly liked McCain's line about having some supporters in the Democratic audience and then nodding hello to Hillary Clinton.

I also enjoyed Obama's jab about being able to see the Russian Tea Room from the Waldorf (where the Smith dinner took place).

Check it all out on YouTube.


I didn't much care for seeing Brian Williams and Katie Couric all gussied up on the stage along with the political muckety mucks. (I'll have to catch a replay to see if any other media types were there, too.) Brian and Katie should have been in the back of the room, in the working press section.
