I just found this very funny clip from David Letterman on David Weinberger's blog. (You need Real Player) So David, you may be the last person in America to see this clip, but at least not the last in the world. It's very funny. It's like a new twist to Stealth Disco.

This is a pretty old clip. Turned out the kid had not slept at all the night before because he was so excited at this opportunity to stand on the stage with W. The kid is a big W supporter (which I am not), and said as much as a guest on Letterman's show a few days later.
Interesting. Thanks Mark. But it's still very funny. ;-)
