Letterman Ethers McCain
The Smoking Section — John McCain has made a crucial mistake. He’s underestimated the political power of satirists in an election year.

David Letterman Unloads on McCain For Not Showing Up
Starpulse Entertainment News — David Letterman NEW YORK (AP) - " Late Show " host David Letterman treated John McCain's decision to cancel an appearance on his talk show more like a stupid human trick than the act of a statesman.

John McCain is a liar

Pretty Boring - The Cure For the Daily Blah — When funnymen Jon Stewart (pictured here), and David Letterman are making headlines -- doesn't it seems like this whole election is being played out like a bad parody of one of those VH1 reality shows? In the new Entertainment Weekly piece, they asked Stewart -- 'studies have come out saying that many young people get their news from late-night comedy, and Jon has always pooh-poohed this idea.

That's what happened yesterday when John McCain dropped out of his scheduled appearance on the Late Show at the last minute, citing a need to go to Washington immediately to fix the economic crisis. Letterman, who, let's not forget, has provided such a friendly forum to McCain in previous appearances that the senator announced his ...

Tuned In Suspension Suspended
Tuned In — September 25, 2008 4:17 Tuned In Suspension Suspended Earlier I said I was suspending further posts on the campaign/debate suspension issue. I lied. Get over it. Politics ain't beanbag. This one isn't really political, though. David Letterman's ranting against John McCain last night is currently the number one video on YouTube. But not the minute-and-a-half official CBS video I embedded earlier (which has just over 5,000 views right now). It's this much longer, unofficial clip (which has 800,000): As I mentioned earlier, the CBS clip omits some of Letterman's best, fiercest stuff. So the question is: why would CBS not include that stuff, thus ...
