Don't f*ck with David Letterman.
Don't f*ck with David Letterman.

I think all of us can agree with that.

This probably won't be nearly as hilarious to those of us of a conservative persuasion, but you have to admit it was remarkably bad judgement of McCain to
cancel his interview with Letterman on an excuse like that and then get caught at another interview down the street.

There is one problem with that. Dave moved his taping of the show up to 4 at the exact same time

McCain's interview with Katie Couric. McCain couldn't do both then he had to go to Washington.

So there might be a problem with that.

Fidoohki.

I think you are talking out of your arse.

Do you have any proof of this change? This was a last minute cancelation of the part of McCain - a very ill advised one given how his duplicity came back to
not only bite him on the arse, but masticate fully and feed him the chewed up remains back via a dubious french kiss.

If Letterman had changed the time for the taping, the McCain spokespeople would be screaming about it at the top of their lungs; loudly.

Do you really think that a major talk show, having scored the very valuable, limited, time of presidential candidate would arbitrarily change the time of the
taping without significant notice in advance? They would have initiated the conversation, and if the candidate could not manage the new time; arrange an
alternative.

So, where is the proof behind your dubious claim?

I've done some checking around and I guess my information was wrong. The story i saw was that McCain cancelled

to head to DC right after his Couric interview but Letterman moved his tape time up. What I think might have

happened was McCain blew off Dave to do the Couric interview that was scheduled later but he moved

it up. He should have done both IMO.

Despite everything he should have done the Letterman interview. Sorry.

Nah. He blew of Letterman because he wanted to seem like he was doing something for the crisis.
He really, really wasn't.
This was a crass political move on McCain's aprt and it blew u[ in his face. I for one, am glad.

What do you know, McCain won the date before he decided he was going to attend it.

Is his campaign being run by muppets?

Funny you should ask that. It might be truer than you think.

I've never been that big a fan of McCain. (He really seems to have been the only guy left after all the more interesting republican candidates were
eliminated.)

But, he gets points from me for pissing off Letterman. Because I really hate that guy.

So, it gets points with you that he flat-out lied when saying a matter of national security was involved... because the guy he blew off was
someone you didn't like?

Well, we get the leaders we deserve, I suppose.

It's entirely possible for someone to both receive points and lose points for the same action.

Though I'm not sure I'd take away points for lying to someone I believe should be treated with disrespect. Depends on context I don't have at the
moment. (And whatever's in the video, I haven't seen it; youtube and my computer don't quite see eye to eye most of the time.)

You would. That's you.

So by that logic it is okay to set up a date with a friend, but then cancel it, lying through your teeth, when you get an offer from someone you consider a
more advantageous friend?

Your word matters. Your integrity matters.

It was a joke Rev. Hence the 'Smile' at the end. McCain should have told the truth

about it but think of it like this using your example:

You are in the same scenerio but the two friend are rivals Now you have to go

out of town for work and can only meet one and the second friend has a better

view on what you need to get done at work and you really need to the help.

Now do you tell your first friend that you are going to blow him off just to see

his rival because it would be better for him workwise knowing they don't like

each other and it could make their rivalry worse?

While I agree he shouldn't have lied about it I can see the mentality behind it.

It's irrelavent but just an observation as to why hell I could be wrong anyway.
