McCain and Letterman

When Sen. John McCain finally appeared on “Late Night” on Thursday, David Letterman didn’t let him forget that he had stood Letterman up last month. Later, McCain joked, “I haven’t had so much fun since my last interrogation.”

Letterman at his very best!!! Especially in the 2nd half of the McCain interview! Good to see that both -at least somewhat- kept their sense of humor in all of this though.

This was secretly the most pointed, most aggressive bit: http://tinyurl.com/6j3os5

Nicely dealt, Dave.

It was wonderful to see McNasty practically crawl on Letterman’s set like a whipped dog and grovel in front of him like a penitent begging for forgiveness…only a man with no shame and a very low self-image would degrade himself this way.

It showed McC up for the pathetic creature he really is…thanks David!

Man, Letterman can really be a tough interview.  He absolutley blind-sided McCain with the G. Gordon Liddy stuff.  I haven’t seen a candidate nailed like that since Dan Quayle got naile by Lloyd Bentzen.  I mean, the man was stumbling and speechless.  I think that part of the interview should be bigger news.  McCain was exposed as a hypocrite.
