… VDH is right. The die has been cast. If my e-mails are any indication, no one is near any mood to be calm. The New York e-mail was a comment on a passing moment. Let’s agree I’ll think ten times before I ever comment on anything John McCain says, if John McCain staff and reports want to stop telling me how disgusting nearly every criticism of him is.

I’ve written this a lot recently: we’re ultimately on the same side here. Let’s (I say this to me as much as anyone) not make it so we can’t sit down and work together when we need to before long.
