[Ksandra]

I know it was touched on in the palin thread but vids are up if you didn't see it.

make sure you watch to the end to see where McCain really went. (for those that don't keep up on the news XD)

I can't imagine this was a smart idea >.>;

Letterman seemed really really pissed.

[edit]

Last night's letterman:

The gift that keeps on giving!

I thought it was lulzy the first time and still do.

Yeah same. Letterman was pissed and rightfully so, his top 10 list of McCain was hilarious.

[The Blackrose]

Holy crap, I'm surprised Olbermann didn't hijack the show on Letterman's behalf.

[Not Kuno]

I like threads like these because the Palin thread is a clusterfuck and good links get lost fast.

[Tricen]

So, McCain cancels for a good or bad reason? Or just a stupid reason? Kind of like a cop out?

[Charismatic]

Watch the video Tricen...

[Ksandra]

This is actually awesome for Obama imo. Lots of the older generation grew up on Letterman, if he keeps ragging on McCain they may be swayed away from him.

[Tricen]

It just looks like Letterman is QQing

Yeah but near the end he finds out he's on other shows instead and gets pretty pissed.

[Tricen]

Ooooooooooh, the video didn't fully load yet. What a dick move

[miokomioko]

argh, someone cliffnote it for me... I am moving and already packed up my speakers...

He has a right. He is (well now was) a huge huge supporter of McCain, and the guy cancels the same day the show is to be on claiming he's "rushing to get on a flight to washington". Then on tv Letterman finds out McCain actually ditched him to go on Katie Couric (which Couric and Letterman are owned by the same tv station).


Really McCain is retarded to think he could bluff out like that. And generate a lot of bad press.

I'm pretty sure saying you're suspending your campaign just to go grandstand in Washington and show that "you're doing something for the economy," especially when the rest of Congress told you to bugger off and you possibly have no clue whatsoever is going on after saying the economy was in tip top shape a couple of days ago. Furthermore, you're leaving for Washington a day before the one big debate against your primary opponent that everyone's waiting for on baited breath.

Letterman saw right through the whole act (shit, who didn't?) and called him out on it.

The whole tie in with Couric just made it that much sweeter.

his top 10 list of McCain was hilarious.

Just adding a link:

Top Ten Questions People Are Asking the John McCain Campaign

10. "I just contributed to your campaign -- how do I get a refund?"
9. "It's Sarah Palin -- does this mean I'm Pars'dent?"
8. "Can't you solve this by selling some of your homes?"
7. "Hi, this is Clay Aiken. Is McCain single?"
6. "Do you still think the fundamentals of our economy are strong, genius?"
5. "Are you doing all this just to get out of going on Letterman?"
4. "What would Matlock do?"
3. "Hillary here -- my schedule is free Friday night"
2. "Is this just an excuse to catch up on napping?"
1. "This is President Bush -- what's all this trouble with the economy?"

Letterman continued to rail on McCain the next night when Paris Hilton was his guest. Also quality.

Keith Obermann's countdown (video on msnbc.com) also covers the Letterman tirade for both nights, and I think it is just hilarious.

Then the Katie interview with Palin on top of all of this! Its just too much, I am on the floor laughing.

The GOP are fucked.

[Kiro]

The Top 10 List made my fucking day.

[Pikarya]

Letterman isin't dead yet? Wow, where have I been.

McCain was supposed to be on Letterman on Wednesday.

He announced he was suspending his campaign and flying back to Washington DC to vote on and help fix the economy issue.

As a result he called up Letterman on Wednesday and canceled his appearance giving the impression he was going back to DC right away.

Letterman is a bit annoyed at it being last minute but understands, til later in the taping of his show when it's revealed that McCain went to an interview with Katie Couric instead.

McCain actually stayed in New York til midday on Thursday and didn't leave til after another speaking engagement Thursday morning.

John Stewart did a bit about it on the Daily Show last night as well.

God bless, CBS. The segment with McCain getting his nose powdered is priceless, lol.
