Letterman keeps up assault on McCain
"Late Show" host David Letterman kept up a verbal assault on John McCain Thursday, saying he felt like an "ugly date" because the GOP presidential candidate backed out of a scheduled appearance on his talk show. The night before, Letterman had said McCain's decision to suspend his campaign to deal with the economic crisis "didn't smell right." Letterman substituted MSNBC's "Countdown" host - and critic of the Arizona senator - Keith Olbermann when McCain called him to say he wouldn't appear Wednesday. The c

David Letterman Is Unhappy With John McCain
One heartbeat away from death (hey, Tina Fey said it, I didn't) presidential candidate John McCain was supposed to have been on David Letterman's show last night. He bailed in a phone call at the last second claiming he was halting his campaign and rushing off to the airport to look after America's economic crisis. Except he didn't, and actually went to go be interviewed by Katie Couric. Letterman wasn't jazzed by this maneuver. He had Keith Olbermann on instead and spent a good portion of the program mo

Wow, don't screw with David Letterman. John McCain, GOP Presidential candidate was supposed to appear on David Letterman last night but backed out at the very last minute because of his "suspended" campaign.

I heard about this through a twitter update and Waxx just fired off the footage. John McCain suspended his campaign and canceled his appearance on the Late Show last minute and Letterman speaks his mind. Awesome! Also (after the jump), watch as Palin takes a super L during her interview with Katie Couric. Yo, for real… if this chick ever becomes President (or even gets in office) for whatever reason I’m moving to Europe. ~ by Shake on September 25, 2008. Posted in Misc., Video
