David Letterman ridicules John McCain

by: Scarce

Wed Sep 24, 2008 at 21:03:55 PM EDT


From tonight's show, a leaked and edited version has already made it to the net. McCain cancelled on Letterman only to show up in an interview with Katie Couric just down the street at another CBS building. Keith Olbermann sits in and can hardly contain himself.

Veal Piccatta! (4.00 / 2)
Dave: "Do you think he'll ever come back?"

Me: Nope. How many electoral votes did Mondale get?

For all he's trying to look presidential and "put country first," McSame just comes out of this looking cowardly... and that undercuts the one thing he really had going for him. Suspend the campaign?? In times of crisis, we need more than ever to focus on choosing wise leaders! This smacks of something the John McCain of popular myth would never do: Deserting his post in combat.

Feh!

McCain is suspending his campaign only because he knows he is losing the election. It is his only gambit left. Palin backfired and continues to backfire, big time. Obama needs to capitalize on realizing that this is a desperation move on McCain's part. I hope the Obama campaign do not fall into that trap of suspending his own campaign. I'm glad he is not backing down on the first debate.

Team Obama should be smart enough to turn this lobbed bombshell from a desperate McCain into an electoral lock for President Obama on November 4.

One can only hope the Dems realize what an opportunity this is (4.00 / 2)
By holding their ground and sticking to their demands (#1 being an equity stake, #2 being regulation and #3 being CEO pay) they can see if Bush & Paulson blink. Make them squirm. Then we'll see what McCain does. My guess is whatever he does isn't going to look too presidential.

If I were McCain and I wanted to something super mavericky, I'd fire Rick Davis (whose law firm was being paid on layaway by Freddie Mac until a month ago). But I kinda doubt he'd do that. Then again I'm not too sure about the Dems in congress sticking to the guns, either.

Rick Davis (4.00 / 2)
Actually, don't you think that Rick Davis's hand caught in the cookie jar is one of the very reason (among other things) McCain had to "suspend" his campaign? Before McCain announced the suspension this afternoon, this was the big news on HuffingtonPost this morning:

***Breaking News*** (4.00 / 2)
The Chairman of the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee, Barney Frank (D), comes out with this news:

"We now have between House and Senate Democrats an agreement on what we think should be in the bill, and we have a meeting scheduled at 10 a.m. tomorrow to meet with the Republicans," said Frank, who chairs the House of Representatives Financial Services Committee.

And, the politicalization by John McCain of the whole thing does not escape the good Congressman from Massachusetts:

"All of sudden, now that we are on the verge of making a deal, John McCain here drops himself in to help us make a deal, Frank said. "I really worry about the politicalization."

The Massachusetts Democrat noted that a meeting on Capitol Hill on Thursday will be interrupted for a "photo op" at the White House with congressional Democrats and Republicans as well as Bush.

"We trying to rescue the economy, not the McCain campaign," Frank said.

That was a great post, Letterman is at his snarky best when he is angry.  The debates and the campaign should go on, how can a candidate expect to ask for a vote without debating?  

NBC Nightly News (0.00 / 0)
Tonight, Brian Williams brings this up on N(cubed). McCain's gambit of suspending his campaign and dissing Letterman may backfire on him. Uhhhmmm, you think?!?
