In suspending his campaign to deal with the bail out bill before the House and Senate, John McCain canceled his appearance on tonight's Late Show with David Letterman, a program to be recorded today in New York City. The show is normally produced at 5:30 PM EDT, but MSNBC reported it was to be taped at 4 PM today.

Minutes ago, the Late Show Web site replaced John McCain in the “Tonight's Guests” list with the far-left ranter/McCain-basher Keith Olbermann of MSNBC.

New Goddess?

“She’s popular for being the brightest, sharpest, , best
educated, quick witted, sensible, fair journalist. She makes truth in
the news more important than the anchor. Of course her fresh face,
bright eyes and winning smile are nice, too, but her mind is a thing of
beauty.”

Thank Goddess I wasn't drinking at the time.  I would have made the biggest spit-take / choke in the world.  "Sensible & Fair Journalist" has got the be the biggest hoot I've ever heard in describing anything MSNBC.  Leftists are so-o-o-o hilarious.  Just watch (cuz I won't) Olbermann on Letterman tonight for the biggest butt-job on TV.

4-ALARM DUCT TAPE ALERT!!

This is NOT a drill!!!

Besides cancelling Letterman, McCain is also suspending his campaign (to the point of TAKING DOWN HIS ADS!!! HOW STUPID IS THAT???) and going back to Washington; wanted to delay the debate.

Obama camp says debate goes on, (We can do both!) and Obama "might" go back to Washington.

Want to bet the MSM plays this as McCain sucking up or worse (unable to multitask) while Obama gets a free pass? 

Does McCain think he will get recognition for doing the right thing?  When will he learn that they will NEVER EVER give him a break!!!

AAAAARRRRRGH!!

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

I think he might be doing

I think he might be doing the right thing here.  This requires the full attention of  the countries greatest minds.  Congress, too.

I agree

If the financial situation is as dire as we are being told then I think this is the right move...not necessarily politically, but for the greater good of our country. My Mom and Dad grew up during the Depression....it scarred them for life...!!!

I can understand him coming

I can understand him coming off the trail, I think that IS the right thing, but Jeez, taking down his ADS? That's the part I can't get.  What is THAT going to accomplish?

AD?

I think he had to take those ads down. He had to prove that this was all about what needed to be done in Washington. That message wouldn't ring true if he was still running campaign ads. Again, it probably isn't great political strategy.

I don't think the ads can

I don't think the ads can stay up during the suspension.

Bassnote

I mentioned to Mrs. Doktor that this was good for two reasons:  The one you mentioned above and that it also makes 0bama have to react to McCain.  That bugs the livin' pee out of him.

I can think of two

I can think of two different ways Obama could frame this campaign suspension that would heavily damage McCain.  I haven't heard the Obama campaign or anyone else use either attack... yet.

I'm not going to write what I'm thinking lest some leftist troll is reading.  Ugh.

I guess it's OK to go off the trail to cram for the debate, but not to discuss the financial crisis.  I hope McCain or someone on his staff thinks to make that point! (Maybe YOU should be a consultant!!)

Barack Obama held a previously unscheduled news conference,

Senator Obama is pressing ahead with his campaign.  That settles it...Obama is a Candidate, not a Senator.  He's been a candidate longer than he has been a senator anyway.

  4. Keithy rants for 5 minutes.
  5. Commercials.
  6. Keithy rants another 5 to 7 minutes.
  7. Next guest. 

If McCain were on, here would be the agenda:

  1. Introduce McCain
  2. McCain sits down and greets Dave, and Dave greets McCain.
  3. Mild smalltalk about nothing for 30 or so seconds.
  4. Dave begins a tirade wherein he asks controversial questions, dodges McCains answers, makes McCain look like a fool, and never takes a sip of his coffee because his Liberal undertones are nigh about to explode out of him.
  5. It's awkward...

Yeah, this could go either way... again, I'll give McCain credit for indeed taking risks, in quite a Maverick-ian way. :p 

The upside possibility here is, if Wall Street corrects itself for the remainder of the week, he can take big-time credit for it... even in time for the debates, should he end up doing them (or "it", Friday...)

This is exactly what "walking the walk" of bi-partisanship is all about. But the left has proven, time and again, that they just "talk the talk."

I'm looking at this from a rather neutral perspective, keep in mind I'm not a big fan of McCains. Big fan of Sarah, but not John. Anyway, if he goes back to D.C. and works with others to get some kind of bill passed that accomplishes a saving of a financial meltdown, then goes on TV ASAP afterwards for a debate, he wins BIG TIME. But, he is taking a huge gamble!!! All you can do at this point is hope he makes the best of this.

Ct, jezz 'twixt you and me, I think McCain FUBAR'd here...

...in a major way.

McCain sorely needed to wax Obama's a$$ in the debate that was scheduled for Friday, as I sense he is losing the momentum he had just two weeks ago.

Personally, I don't think McCain needs to be "reaching across the aisle" at this point.

He needs to be lobbing grenades.

RD, I do believe the debate

RD, I do believe the debate will be held, but at a later date, perhaps next week. Seems like I heard something to that effect this afternoon on the radio.

The major media report only half the news. Why are they surprised they have only half the potential audience?

celator, by that time, the MSM is going to have McCain looking..

...rather weak.

They will start saying tomorrow that McCain is "chickening out," among other things. What is more, Obama has refused to suspend his campaign, even for a minute.

I believe McCain would do well to ignore what is going on in DC and continue going after Obama in a big way, as I see him (thanks to fifty + years of guv'mint edumication in this nation) as having the steeper hill to climb to win this thing.

The last thing he needs to do is align himself with Bush and this hideous bailout-plan-from-hell, as I sense the public outrage against this lunacy growing hourly.

-Dave

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them - Rick Roberts

It's too late, Dave

He took the plunge. To change tacks now, he'd look wishy-washy, not like a leader at all.

Nothing to do but ride it out. See my post below for more.

 

"... smells like... victory." - Robert Duvall

Good points, and I am not

Good points, and I am not at all at ease with the bailout, either. But since the roller coaster is already moving, I'd like to see McCain and company come out swinging at Obama's dilly dallying (even for this cause). Hit Obama's campaign with a right upper cut followed by a slambusting left hook. Tactically speaking, of course. But he won't and, yes, the media will probably frame McCain very negatively ASAP. I an anxiously awaiting the "now that we are here" comments from both sides. Wish I were running that campaign.. ;+}

The major media report only half the news. Why are they surprised they have only half the potential audience?

Dave,

I dunno if I'd characterize this as "reaching across the aisle." Not yet, anyway. But maybe showing "statesmanship" and "leadership," which wouldn't be all bad. I mean, McCain's brought the idea of really leading back into the debate, big time. He's a senior senator, after all. And he's taking his responsibility seriously, and showing leadership.

Obama's "40 days until we have to deal with this" is a phony response. Any new president takes office January 20th, there's nothing he can do until then... except be a senator, which McCain is doing. Is it a "crisis," or isn't it? That's the tack the McCain camp should take, I think.

IMO, the real crux of the biscuit here is what the media does with it, and how it's perceived by the public. If (if? HA!) they try to flame him on this, will it back-fire, like the anti-Palin campaign did? Or will it stick, and make him look like he's dithering. Best outcome? It gets fixed, McCain can claim credit, and he shows up on Friday, apologizing for being late due to some "unfinished business." SHACK!!!

I hope McCain's advisors are thinking along similar lines.

BREAKING: DRUDGE 5:13 cst

EXCLUSIVE: LETTERMAN MOCKS MCCAIN CANCELLATION
Wed Sep 24 2008 17:41:58 ET

David Letterman tells audience that McCain called him today to tell him he had to rush back to DC to deal with the economy.

Then 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!"

Developing...

David Letterman's racist, homophobic, American hating cocktail

After reading what Letterman was ranting about, CBS should suspend Letterman as his true cocktail crowd rhetoric was coming out.

David Letterman literally called all old people suffering with dimentia nuts in his line,"I think someone's putting something in his metamucil." 

Considering Senator McCain admitted to being broken during torture in Vietnam it is reprehensible for Letterman to even hint about Mr. McCain's capacity. It is akin to having Letterman going into an ER and telling women, "I think someone put Viagra in your tea to turn a man on like that".

Letteman then went on to denegrate all women by stating,  " Fine, put in your second string quarterback, Sara Palin. Where is she?"

 Women are now second string and people loosing their life's savings because Barack Hussein Obama BLOCKED with Chris Dodd and Hillary Clinton the McCain bill S-190 and cocktail crowd Letterman who hates women, the elderly, children and America is having a fit because there are more important things in life the Dave.

I ask EVERYONE to tell all their family, especially those with ratings software to shut Letterman off for the next year. Drive his ratings into the cellar where he inhabits and watch either Kimmel or Leno if you have to watch unfunny liberal television.

Remember this is the Letterman who ranted that Sarah Palin was to be giving condoms out to her children so they could have sex.

Of course Letterman was going to have on Olbermann, the last time he had on Dr. Phil who slapped him around the stage for saying the horrid things he was about Gov. Palin's children.

Well David Letterman you didn't get a Palin fetus to hang over your mantel in terrorizing Bristol Palin and you won't have a dead John McCain to mount either for terrorizing him.


Enjoy your Olbermann though, because you are the same putrid creatures.

 

God help that child you fathered and is around you daily. He deserves better in life than the festering boil of hatred you are.

PS: Hey Dave, how about having me on please. Unlike Rush Limbaugh or Barbara Bush or John McCain, I won't sit there and be insulted, but instead knock all of your teeth out the first time you mouth off. I'll even make it legal old man and give you the first two shots on me. Toss in your pansy Olbermann, heck you can even invite Al Franken and I will bust all three of you as you are disgusting pariahs like Barack Obama and as you are all bullies you deserve the playground treatment of yore.

I will even give you a quarter to call your Mommy and she will probably tell me to spank all three of you adult beast children too.

Most happy to oblige.

McCain Challenges Obama

McCain challenged Obama to ten townhall style debates all over the country. Obama ducked them all. Now McCain wants to fullfill his senate duties and Obama and the Democrats say McCain is dodging Obama. Give me a break. Just once I'd like to see the Democrats accept responsibility and put country first.

You're absolutely right,

You're absolutely right, MSD6, but the media won't mention that.

 

"... smells like... victory." - Robert Duvall

Letterman Is A Jerk

For years I have found Letterman increasingly tiresome.     He has always been the frat boy who never grew up and never showed a trace of mature adulthood in his life.     Refusing to marry the mother of his child after living together for some 15 years now is a classic example of frat boy behavior in action.      And then he increasingly grew more shrill and leftwing.    The night he was rude to O'Reilly and said he was 60% full of crap, I found myself shouting back, "That means by your standards, he's still 40% ahead of you!"     The butt-kissing of Olbermann.     But to pull this after McCain tried to be statesman (and did SNL send up Obama for cancelling his appearance there because of Hurricane Ike????) is finally the time for me to say enough.    Every old Letterman tape I have from a decade ago is going out in the garbage and that includes even his tribute to Johnny Carson because I can not stand the sight of this overage juvenile delinquent any longer.    He is a disgrace.

Another moronic move from

Another moronic move from John McCain.

Suspends his entire campaign, only to work on a spend-thrift "solution" to the current economic crisis which will likely only result in a Dem-dominated final product where GOPers tried but could not get a word in edgewise.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the mark of a man who lacks an incredible amount of foresight, even when he's been in the Senate for 20 years. The American people can see this, and are thinking negatively of it, as evidenced by a full one percentage point drop in the polls (averaged together, can be viewed at www.realclearpolitics.com)

He is in this whole campaign for a good time and not much else. He suspends his campaign and gives up what precious opportunities he has- his rationale being that he's "willing to put country first"- and thereby demonstrates that he is incapable of keeping his priorities in order. This man is not fit for the presidency- with Palin or without her.

There is nothing that John McCain can "do" by suspending his campaign and yelling obnoxiously in the Senate for a few days, only to find that the congressional dems have brought earplugs.

In a race of two fools, the one who least hides himself is the one who loses. John McCain is being quite loud while tacitly revealing that he does not have what it takes.

 

------------------------------------------------------------

"My morality is your morality."

McCain's move

You're most likely a whole lot smarter than I am, but as 'Average American' it sounded like the right thing to do to me.  McCain has something votes, money and applause can't buy.. honor, and that's what I heard.  He has my vote, hands down.

Upside Down

McCain's move was necessary. If the bailout measure doesn't pass, the economy goes down the tubes. Period. When he goes to Washington, he'll deliver the republican resistors and he'll do so by telling them that their jobs are on the line. You let people go broke - really broke - and you are dead.

McCain has the opportunity of looking like the saviour if he brings the republicans on board and the deal is made. People will see him as being politically savvy and willing to sacrifice his chances for the presidency by putting the country first.

That doesn't mean he'll win the election - everything has been against republicans from keeping the White House for years now - but he'll have done the right thing.

Schnikeys, you're looking at this upside down.

Upside down?

Really, he's had quite some time to do shape the hearts and minds of his fellow GOP members and, to what would have been fruitless results, the Democrats.. Why couldn't he have "gotten Republicans on board" a while ago? Even if he has tried to do that in the past, what makes him think that it's going to make any difference now?

I'm less concerned about him doing "the right thing" now than I am about him letting somebody who's ten times the tax-and-spender he is take the Oval Office with a Congress full of 'crats. Perhaps it's just me, but this seems so much like a staged move while the reality is that it is highly unlikely he will be able to undo years of irresponsible trust that the public put into two hulking government giants by using some mysterious power to woo over the majority.

If he wants to help, he should learn to multitask.

Schn...

You aren't alone in this country with your views...I agree for the most part, but heck when it comes to McCain I have been in the minority here anyway...matters not to me...this is all a political stunt...like they all do, this is just so obvious...he'd better hope it works, because it seriously puts me off...Sarah or no Sarah...

..and he wonders why his poll numbers are going down...

Evenin' bt. Let's face it, McCain is a doofus.

It almost appears he is trying to lose this thing.

The last thing he should do is return to DC and have any association whatsoever with this hideous (and not to mention unnecessary) bail-out plan.

If Bush wants to reward Paulson and his Walll Street loser cronies with a trillion-dollar check from us taxpayers, fine, but I think McCain should stay as far away from that as he can.

I bet Sarah would have never pulled something like this.

Come on Dave...surely you

Come on Dave...surely you jest..McCain is not going to stay away..why, he is going to save the day again like he did with this war and the surge... he's awesome my friend...(sure hope you got the joke there, wink, wink...oops, another joke)

By the way...I will not blame the President for this whatsoever...he made a pretty good speech tonight as far as I am concerned, he warned about this long ago with Fred and Fannie ect...people intentionally looked the other way, the FBI also needs to look into congress...in fact they may want to start there.

Just a penny of my two cents...lol.

Do want to say thanks friend.

Letterman's A Crybaby

If anyone had any further doubts, David Letterman is a hate filled left wing loon with a wicked temper. For him to bring Olbermann on under these circumstances shows him to be a no class jerk who is now running a late night left wing political show.

A few years ago I was

A few years ago I was watching Letterman, and the thought struck me that, essentially, he does the same show night after night. He was wasn't very funny even the first time, let alone the thousandth time. He strikes me as a very lazy performer with nothing remotely interesting to add to the national dialogue. So I stopped watching him, permanently.

The major media report only half the news. Why are they surprised they have only half the potential audience?

Goodbye, Dave.

You were the favorite in our home for a long time, the operational heir to Johnny Carson.  But as the years wore on, you became (or didn't care that we noticed you were) a preener, more impressed with your own opinion than you had reason to be.

You're not welcome in our home any more.

The real reason

He prepared material to blast him and Palin and won't be able to do it now...

Obama's crying cause he's been preparing his lines and doesn't want to forget them.

Obama's confusion of what

Obama's confusion of what to do in this instance--debate or go to Washington to do his job as a Senator--is interesting to watch. He's like a kite trying to fly in the wind with no tail attached.

His behavior illustrates for me how very scripted he is. The script written for him reads "DEBATE FRI NIGHT. BE THERE." He can't find the words, "Do the right thing and go to Washington and act like a Senator." So he essentially does nothing.

And that's how he would be as President: useless and dangerous at the same time.

Obambi better show up

or Nancy will be very upset with him.

And that means trouble, big trouble, right here in River City. :+}

Financial Market Holocaust ain’t it funny, Ha Ha

It's time for McCain to wise-up and stop being a stooge for aholes like Letterman.  There is nothing clever or to be gained by these appearances, but it still leaves one with the feeling of being pissed-on for supporting McCain.
