I thought this note from a reader was pretty funny, and I bet you will, too:

You know, I wasn’t there when Keith Olbermann found out there was no tooth fairy. But, after watching him report on the non-devastating Gustav event, I think I have a pretty good idea of how it all went down.

“How it all went down” is what makes this note — the wording of it — so funny. By the way, I love a particular story about Reagan: He was watching the 1982 election returns, which were very bad news for the Republicans. He said to the lady who was speaking on television, “Wipe the glee off your face, sister.”

And did I ever tell you this story? I know I have, but it’s been a while. In the fall of 2000, I took a leave of absence from NR to work on the Bush campaign. At HQ, there were televisions everywhere, and, not wanting to hear them, I took to listening to music via headphones. And I could tell by the look on Judy Woodruff’s face — or Katie Couric’s face — whether she was interviewing a Republican or a Democrat. Never failed.
