Clearly, Strangely, a Hillary Man (Rolling Stone)

"People like Bill Clinton . . . intelligence just leaks out of him, it forms a cloud around him. You can't penetrate it. I'm thinking about cartoons and he's talking about how to save the planet, so I always feel in over my head there."
— David Letterman in a Rolling Stone magazine cover story Q&A conducted by Jason Gay. According to the magazine, it's the first in-depth interview he has given since 1996.
