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.

I don't give a damn what's happening - short of a heart attack or a death in the family, you don't leave someone in a lurch like that. At least get SuperMom Sarah Palin to stand in for you, but to just back out of a major talk show like that? Stinks. To make matters worse, McCa
