[Magdalen] The Al Smith dinner.

[M J _Mike_ Logsdon]

I'm frankly boggled by the fact that DT actually agreed to participate (can he even tell a real joke? Hillary, we know, has access to real speech writers), but both are apparently slated, at 8:00 pm Eastern, to sit on either side of Cardinal Dolan, and (supposedly) be pleasant, and (poor DT) funny.  MSNBC (and obviously others, no doubt) is broadcasting it.  I gotta leave a few minutes before 5:00 to get home in time!
