Apparently John McCain was set to appear on Letterman tonight, but McCain called and told Dave that he had to cancel because he had to get back to Washington and deal with economic crisis. Well it turns out McCain never left for Washington. Here is how everything unfolded according to the Drudge Report.
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, Sara 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!"
* Update - The reason the McCain camp canceled on Letterman? Because they "felt that it wasn't a good night for comedy." Point taken, but why lie about it????
*Update - Just watched it. Wow. I posted the video below
