I hope there's no Republicans around here.

Respectfully ganked from Jess.

John McCain was meant to appear on David Letterman. He called at the last minute, stating that he was "rushing" back to Washington to work on the economic crisis (and showed up in Washington 22 hours late, but that's a different story) and couldn't appear on Letterman -- last minute enough that Letterman had no time to get another guest.

And then John did Katie Couric. When he was supposed to be rushing back to Washington.

Nice.

I'm glad David Letterman spoke his mind. Not doing his show was disrespectful. (But it did mean that I got to see some more Keith Olbermann, which really? Is that so bad?) I really REALLY want this story to get a lot of play time in the upcoming week. Hey, here's an idea! Let's have Dave be a moderator for one of the debates. He would do an excellent job. Awes.

I heard about this! I can't believe that, what an ass. That's just plain rude and disrespectful - to Letterman and to the public who expected to see him on the show. I'm glad Letterman spoke his mind too though - McCain deserved it.
