Thanks to the Daily Show, PRNewser is able to still blog the appearance of Terry McAuliffe on MSNBC's pundit-fest "Decision '08" on Tuesday night. It's worth seeing the original version (Hot Air via TVNewser) to see a true master of optimistic spokes-spinning in action, as Hardballer Chris Matthews (this time rightfully) interrupts him saying he AGREES with the Clinton camp in their wish to see the race for the nomination reach the convention next month.

McAuliffe's skills are so adept and chipper, one could use it as almost an educational parody when media coaching one's clients.

For a bigger laugh, see the Daily Show's "West Virginia Douche-Off" from last night, complete with the banjo music from Deliverance. Google the movie and the title of Jon Stewart's segment if you want references far worse than a shiver up Chris Mathews' leg.
