Holy Frijoles. Dave Letterman was apparently RED HOT about John McCain suspending his campaign to race back to Washington to deal with the “cratering” economy and cancelling his scheduled appearance on the show last night. Dave spent literally THE ENTIRE SHOW just railing on McCain. It was BRU-TAL.
In addition to repeatedly mocking McCain for skipping out on his scheduled appearance Wednesday, Letterman also devoted, fittingly, his nightly top 10 list to the subject of “Questions People Are Asking The McCain Campaign.” Number Five: “Are You Doing All This Just To Get Out Of Going On Letterman?”
Brutal ESPECIALLY after they found out he was indeed not racing back to Washington, but taping an interview with Katie Couric – a fellow CBS employee!!
“In the middle of the taping Dave got word that McCain was, in fact just down the street being interviewed by Katie Couric. Dave even cut over to the live video of the interview, and said, “Hey Senator, can I give you a ride home?”Earlier in the show, Dave kept saying, “You don’t suspend your campaign. This doesn’t smell right. This isn’t the way a tested hero behaves.” And he joked: “I think someone’s putting something in his metamucil.”
“He can’t run the campaign because the economy is cratering? Fine, put in your second string quarterback, Sarah Palin. Where is she?”
“What are you going to do if you’re elected and things get tough? Suspend being president? We’ve got a guy like that now!”
It was EPIC. Video below
