David Letterman did something brilliant tonight: he actually asked hard-hitting questions of John McCain, even invoking McCain's relationship with G. Gordon Liddy. Now, don't you wish *any* of the major interviewers had done that? How did that slip by Gwen Ifill? She's no slouch.
McCain looked flustered, whiny, defensive about Sarah Palin. I'm sorry Mac, but having a VP whose credentials include having "served on the PTA" as one of her major qualifications does not inspire confidence.
And Letterman's crack about ObL--"Sure, 8 years later, let's go get him!" really made McCain trip up, because he almost missed it, and then didn't know how to respond.
The irony of all this is that the McPalin ticket talks about change even more than Senator Obama does. And that's an excellent strategy: rob the opponent of their most powerful weapon by co-opting it yourself. Excellent.
But it's the kind of thing that accrues some really bad Karma.
I vote that David Letterman conduct all presidential debates from now on. What do you think?
Here's the YouTube clip:

Man, You Tube ate the video you posted! Thankfully I found other clips...
So let me get this straight. McCain calls and lies his way out of a show and goes on Couric instead, Letterman finds out, shit hits the fan, he rips on McCain for days, McCain comes on the show finally, and when asked "WTF?" his answer is "Ehhh, I screwed up!", and then 2 minutes later when commenting on Obama he says something like "can we trust what the Senator says?" Wow, says a lot, doesn't it?
I can't believe Letterman brought up Libby!! I <3 him for that. We should have had HIM moderate a debate!
